Lessons | PRIOR TO BEGINNING: The teacher will need to create classes in Tinkercad. Students under 13 should not create accounts at Tinkercad (this means, do not tell them to Join with Google) Students will need to be manually added, ensuring the Nickname given matches the username they normally log in with to limit time lost with forgotten information. Pro Tip: Add a seat for a test student account so you can model the use of the application as a student. The teacher can add co-teachers to help monitor student progress, however only the primary teacher can add/remove students. | |
FIRST LESSON: Students will watch the quick video overview of the stamp creation process and how to add a drawn design as well. Students will complete the stamp planning guide provided by the teacher. Key Vocabulary: Work Plane, Align, Goup, Mirror, Resize | ||
SECOND lessons: Place the class link in Google Classroom (or on the class page in Clever) for easy access by students. Have students click on the link and then enter the nickname created for them when prompted. Once they verify their Nickname, they should begin the starters. Model how to do this and work through the first few starters with them. How many to model will depend on the needs of your learners. Getting Started DIRECTIONS (for students) with images.
Key Vocabulary: Work Plane, Align, Goup, Mirror, Rotate (review) | ||
Differentiation | The teacher will assist students who are struggling with guidance on design and creation providing alternate assignments if needed. | |
Closure & Extension | As the teacher, you can view all of the student designs and show off their creations to the class! You can export the created objects and bring into Merge Object viewer on an iPad. You can also export their stamp designs for 3D printing, if that is an option. |
