3D printing can help you in education and life! This is the slide deck for the presentation I gave for the 2022 Assistive Technology Expo. This presentation was to members of the Education, OT, PT, and alternative communications community. This covers how 3D printing can help you with your IEP / 504 accommodations, as well as medical and adaptive needs. It ends by covering the new employment opportunities in 3D printing. I also cover how I use 3D printing for my own autism accommodations. Th

Are you looking for a quick presentation to show the history and application of 3D printing? I wrote this for a airspace museum, but it easily covers the applications for your school. It covers the differences between Open source / closed source, common types of printers, and other applications! You can combine this with the TinkerCAD 3D Printing lesson Bundle to cover a whole years worth of STEM activities.

Additive Manufacturing Forward (AM Forward) is the first major program in the world to bring industrial Additive Manufacturing / 3D printing as a major industrial revolution. While different branches of the government have been 3D printing for a while, AM Forward is launched to really unify all the efforts and programs out there. Under this 2 year program, many things will hopefully happen to standardize 3D printing, and make the USA a major AM manufacturer. This presentation is based on th

GPS and GIS are technologies that work behind the screen to run many parts of our digital lives. While we don't always see them at work, we use GIS when we get a targeted ad, or find a local restaurant. This presentation covers the ethics and use of GPS / GIS tech in our lives, as well as the ethics and legal issues involved. You can modify this for any level, or expand upon it with other GIS / GPS activities. This can be used along with social studies, history, or STEM units to discuss issue

This is a 1 class MS Excel lab for a computer or math class. You can have the students explore the distribution of different color Skittles in class. This is a great mini-lab or half-day activity when you school ends up with a weird schedule day. Tell them they can't eat till the Skittles till the end of class, or they will distort their numbers. Also make sure they don't throw them or shove them up their nose (Yes, stuck Skittles are hard to extract, ask me how I know..) The goal of this lab i

This presentation is ready to help you and your class understand the basics of TinkerCAD. This presentation shows how to resize objects, flip, array (duplicate), and align. This presentation aligns with the TinkerCAD cheat sheets that I sell in my store. Show this presentation for professional development, keep as a reference, or have your students follow along. This includes an audio description on all slides to help you follow along. If you want to get deeper into STEM, you can use TInkerCA

This ppt. file goes along with the self - inflating glove lab. This show the basic steps of the lab, and also shows how to use a triple beam balance. It also helps illustrate the Law of Conservation of Mass, and how you can see it in a self-contained glove. you can add in slides for High School chemistry, including stoiceometry, balancing chemical reactions, gas law, and limiting reactions. Key words: Law of conservation of mass, self - inflating glove, chemistry, stoichiometry, chemical reac

I used this as a sub activity, but you can use this as part of a weather unit. This includes recommendations from Red Cross and FEMA, and can be modified for the unique weather in your area. I wrote this for a rural town. Key Words: Bad Weather, zombies, emergency plan, fema, red cross, bug out bag, pets, storm, earthquakes, train accident, train derailment.

Have you had days where your students seem like zombies? Why not have them act like zombies to study the physics of motion?! This lab set contains all the note sheets, labs and follow up to study speed, motion, acceleration and the start of Newton's Laws! You can change this to study the motion and force of zombies, though I did this with the physics cars I had. I also found that red, black and blue dry erase markers can be used to make a quick zombie makeup set. You can scare students or have

Non verbal learning disorder is now part of Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I grew up with this neurological difference, and I would like to help other teachers understand this intellectual difference. I was diagnosed with NLD from the DSM-4, but the changes in DSM-5 folded NLD into Autism Spectrum. This is something that I have written from my experience as a person with ASD / NLD. I hope this can help you with your child or student on the NLD / Autism Spectrum. You can also contact me to con

Discalcula is a learning difference in which students have extreme difficulty with Math. It is similar to dyslexia, where students have issues reading. This presentation describes the difficulties that students with discalcula have, and ways teachers can motivate and engage students.

If your class is exploring electricity and magnetism, this is a great class review activity. It is a .pptx file set up for jeopardy. I used this to study and give extra credit to my general science class. You can use this with SmartBoards for an interactive experience. Add in sound effects or wear a suit for a full class experience!

With tightening budgets and limited supplies, teachers are often struggling to get funding for projects. Donorschose.org is a person-to-person (P2P) or crowd source site for teachers to request materials. Anyone around the world can now donate any amount of money to any public school of their choice.If you have heard of Kiva.org or Kickstarter.org, this is a similar concept. It is FREE for teachers to apply! In terms of grant writing you do not need a Ph.D to write this one, and it is easy to

Disgraphia is the learning & physical disability related to handwritten output. As a teacher with disgraphia, I had to grow up learning how to accommodate myself and be my own self-advocate. Your struggling students are facing many issues in schools that still rely on hand-written work. Today in class I struggle with teaching and student understanding my handwriting. This presentation has an activity you can use to role play a students struggles, and describes disgraphia from my point of view.

I wrote this for a college presentation to professors at Metro Denver. Over time, I expanded it to include the social history of the Disability Rights movement. It includes the dark history of the eugenics movement around the world, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and other historic figures in the Disability rights movement. It covers basic accommodation for a wide verity of disabilities, and is written by a person with a disability! I have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and disgraphia. I grew

This Powerpoint is written to include example pictures for the Stream Table Lab set. It include samples of a young river, old river, River Delta, and examples of students work. It can be modified for your classes need, or used with your own pictures to show your students what they need to do. This is a supplement to the Stream Table lab. I'm working on 3D printable models that you can use to make adjustable models for this lab! This can be used as a template for a student presentation, modifie
