3-D printing is recognized as an emerging technology on the cutting edge of design and manufacturing. This presentation explains how this emerging technology meets the criteria for accuracy, suitability, and compatibility with my school's technology infrastructure. The process of creating this presentation also taught me how a school system's policies, funding strategies and technology infrastructure must be considered when adopting new technologies.

6 Selecting and Evaluating Digital Tools & Resources
Candidates collaborate with teachers and administrators to select and evaluate digital tools and resources for accuracy, suitability, and compatibility with the school technology infrastructure. (PSC 3.6/ISTE 3f) Reflection This artifact is a presentation on an emerging technology. The emerging technology I researched and presented was 3-D printing. 3-D Printing is recognized as an emerging technology on the cutting edge of design and manufacturing. 3-D printing is a process for making a physical object from a three dimensional digital model by laying down many successive thin layers of a material. In creating this presentation, I researched my schools technology program and technology infrastructure. The creation of this presentation on 3-D printing demonstrates my ability collaborate with teachers and administrators to select and evaluate digital tools and resources. In creating my presentation on this emerging technology I researched my schools policies and procedures for selecting and purchasing new technology tools. My presentation explains how this emerging technology meets the criteria for accuracy, suitability, and compatibility with my schools technology infrastructure. As I researched this emerging technology I collaborated with my schools CTAE director in evaluating the suitability and compatibility with the schools technology infrastructure. After creating this presentation I have a better understanding of the evaluation and selection process of digital tools and resources. The process of creating this presentation also taught me how a school systems policies, funding strategies and technology infrastructure must be considered when adopting new technologies. In the future when I go through the process of evaluating and selecting digital tools and resources I will collaborate with more teachers and administrators. This process has taught me that collaboration with others is essential when selecting new technology for a school program. This presentation on 3-D printing included how it could improve student achievement in our CTAE and science departments. The impact of this artifact on school improvement and student learning can be accomplished by evaluating how my schools CTAE program is using its new 3-D printers and by evaluating students completion of the CTAE engineering pathway.
