3D Printing

I think that the use of a 3D printer is a complete game changer for education.  In a time where geography is completely missing in curriculum or involves the coloring of worksheets, a 3D printer could make geography and its connection to history come alive again.  I am interested in becoming a high school history teacher, but I recognize that many people lack artistic skills like I do and assignments that call for modeling strike terror in the hearts of many.  This device would allow a teacher, for example, to really show students why a terrain or topography would have such an impact on a war's outcome or really help demonstrate why people concentrate where they do to live.  I think this would be a terrific aid to make concepts that are foreign to many students, especially those whose families do not have the financial means to travel, vibrant and much more understandable.
