Three Dimensional Learning With A Dremel Idea Builder

The Description

My students love to engage in the content that they are learning. We are continually moving away from the traditional sit and get style of learning and part of this is having students interact with and create their own learning materials. This is why I want to get Dremel Idea Builder for my students this year.

With an Idea Builder my students can interact with technology in a way that they have not been able to up to this point. Students are able to create, problem solve, and become more active learners as they are introduced to 3D printing. As a part of project based learning 3D printing allows the solutions that students design to come to life and be held, tested, and examined.

My students deserve this awesome technology that will help them be successful not only this year but also build the foundation for success in the future. All off these awesome features will be available to my students through your generous investments. Here is a breakdown in fundraising for Dremel Idea Builder:

Here is the breakdown of our goal of $1,584.00 for Dremel:

PledgeCents partner product sourcing and logistics$158.41

The amounts calculated above are used to ensure the fundraising goal covers all fees. Actual fees will be calculated and collected on a per transaction basis, therefore total amounts may vary once the fundraiser ends. Calculated fees consist of a 10% sourcing fee, 5% fulfillment & labor fee and 3% processing fee.

Back Up Plan

I will raise funds through another source or pay out of my own pocket to get Dremel into my classroom for my students.

About the Creator

I am a fifth grade teacher in Greenville, Pennsylvania. I teach in a self-contained classroom, so I am able to integrate subject areas and integrate technology into my subject matter. Due to grant writing and participating in a variety of contests, my class has fourteen iPads, a green screen setup, and at least one laptop or desktop for each student in the classroom.

Each year, my classroom gives itself a name the first day of school. The class takes on that name persona and that is who we are for the year. We have a class website, blog, you tube channel, twitter account, and more. The blog is written from the point of view of our class mascot. In the beginning of the year we form a class government by following the true election process as closely as possible. Our class president is elected on election day.

Our class chooses some kind of service learning project to work on for the year and it becomes a part of our curriculum. One year we took on a neighboring corporation that refused to clean up the hazardous waste they left behind when they took their plant to Mexico. One year they honored all of the senior citizens who gave back to the community and gave them a senior citizen extravaganza. One year they started a talk show about autism and another they started one about bullying. If you would like to learn more about my class and my former classes, go to jabernethy.com The former classes can be found in the lower left hand corner of the site.

The reason I teach is because I want to make a difference and I want my students to make a difference.
