Field Activity

Digital Fabrication WITH kids

Description

For this Field Activity, you will design, test, and reflect on a lesson plan for a subject that you teach. Your lesson plan must include students engaging in the digital fabrication process themselves. You must include, at least, one of the digital fabrication processes learnt so far: vinyl cutting, laser cutting and 3D printing.

NOTE: For this lesson plan, your students can engage in any part of the DF process or all of it, as long as the lesson plan itself falls on the Digital Fabrication WITH Students continuum, which will involve some part of the Engineering Design Process.

Steps

1. Identify the subject and concepts for the lesson plan
2. Research and plan technology integration. What process/processes are necessary? In which step?
3. Assess your students’ technological fluency
4. Set learning objectives.
5. Design and create a project example, so you can test it.
6. Develop the lesson plan using the SCOPES template. Do not write to Scopes yet.
7. Test your lesson plan with learners.
8. Post your lesson to the SCOPES website.
9. Update your learning diary website
