I am interested in gathering a panel of people to talk about using
Makerbot and other fabrication technologies in education settings. Do
you use Makerbot in your school? Does your school have digital
fabrication tools like a laser cutter, vinyl cutter, mill, or cnc
lathe? What projects have you done with students and these emerging
technologies? What techniques have you used in designing projects and
lessons? How do you evaluate projects with done with emerging
technologies? What are the misconceptions that you have encountered
while working with these topics and learners of all ages?
Rather than a one person talk, it would be more interesting to have
more viewpoints from a panel of educators and students to discuss
these topics and others that are important to the learning process.
The submission deadlinie for talks is relatively soon:
