Consumers increasingly use 3D printers at home for a wide range of applications. Hobbyists use their printers to make parts to fix old arcade machines or even create custom fixtures around the house. Companies are making prototypes with ease, allowing their engineering teams to see how everything fits together before they are sent to manufacturing. 3D printers are useful creative tools for K–12 classrooms too.

By Tamara Fyke The sudden shift to distance learning this Spring, due to the coronavirus, highlighted the gap in access to Wi-Fi and devices for our nation’s students.

It is composed of four levels. As we move on, we will look closer at each of the Kirkpatrick model’s four levels of evaluation. Level 1: Reaction. The objective for this level is plain and simple; it evaluates how students react to the teaching by evaluating the student’s thoughts.
