3. Week 03

Task is to make simple 3D object.

3D printed cube.

I decided to make a very simple object for 3D printig exploration, to start from very basics, also how we can use this materials for teaching. I made the file with Tinker cad, then saved the file in .stl format, opened in ULtimaker Cura, make some simple manipulations.

Do you plan to use the fabricated object in your classroom? If so, how?

Yes, I plan to use the model in my drawing and technical drawing lessons to teach orthogonal projections and axonometric drawing.

Consider and present a learning activity involving 3D printing. How could it align with your curriculum or standards? What challenges might arise?

A possible learning activity could involve students designing a simple 3D object, like a geometric shape, and then creating its 3D printout. This could align with geometry and technical drawing standards, as students would be learning to create accurate representations in 3D space and understand spatial relationships. One challenge might be ensuring students have access to the necessary technology and enough time to complete the task.

Have you started an educational portfolio? Why or why not? What are the advantages of maintaining such portfolios? How do you evaluate the success of a learning activity, and how do you track ideas for modifications or improvements?

Yes, our school practices educational portfolios, though I haven’t yet created an online portfolio. We upload our portfolio files into a shared folder that other teachers can access. I am currently working on creating an English version of my portfolio.

Maintaining a portfolio is valuable because it allows teachers to track their growth, reflect on teaching practices, and document student progress. I evaluate the success of a learning activity by reflecting on student engagement and the learning outcomes achieved. I also track ideas for modifications or improvements by reviewing what worked well and what didn’t after each activity.

Teaching Philosophy:

My teaching philosophy centers on self-awareness, encouraging students to view the learning process as a form of self-exploration and self-expression. I believe creativity should not be limited to art but should be integrated into everyday life. It’s essential to consider how each lesson resonates with students’ individuality, as they will connect with the material based on their own emotions and experiences. Art education, in particular, intertwines with other disciplines such as mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, and literature. Similarly, every subject has its artistic and creative aspects. I believe that all information will be experienced by the student in a way that sparks their own questions, with the starting point for education being the student themselves, guided by their mindset, emotions, and explorations.
