Reading Response 2:
This is your second question for the Disrupting Class book reading responses. reply in approximately 300 words in a Word document.
According to Christensen, in order for disruption to occur, a new product or service has to “substitute” an old product or service. Christensen describes factors that accelerate this substitution related to online learning. In your response, identify what 3D printing could substitute for (what does it replace?) in education, and describe what factors you think could accelerate the replacement/substitution.

- You should include a minimum of 12 references in your paper. These must be from peer-reviewed journals. At least eight of the articles must be original research (i.e., research studies as opposed to opinion papers).
- Be certain to document ALL sources in the body of the paper as well as in the list of references a according to the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition and the APA supplement. References should be current. Summarize the information and synthesize it into a paper that is well organized and well written.

- Plagiarism or late submission will result in a grade of zero on the assignment.
- The information from each study must be derived from a primary source.
- A minimum of eight of the references must be original research. That means that the article should include a hypothesis or research question, methodology, results and discussion.
- Headings must be used in your paper.
- Textbooks and other secondary sources may be referenced, but do not count toward the required primary source references.
- APA 6th Edition style must be used throughout.
- Use Times New Roman 12 point type and one inch margin all around

3D Printer Evaluation Grant/Rubric
$15.00For this assignment, assume that you are in the 3D printer market for your school or business. A granting agency (me) has money for purchasing a 3D printer, but they want to make sure you have done your homework and know exactly what you need and want. Your task is to create a rubric that you will use to evaluate a number of printers (5-10). The list below highlights some of the things to think about when purchasing a 3D printer.
Factors to consider:
- Cost
- Kit or pre-built
- Build Platform type/leveling/material used to adhere material to plate (tape? hairspray?)
- Closed or Open Build Envelope
- Cold or heated build plate
- Internet Connectivity?
- Operating System Requirements
- Material used to print –Generic? Proprietary feed? Color?
- Cost of material used to print
- Ease-of-use/Special tools needed?
- Customer service plan/Cost for service/Turnaround
- Manufacturer Issues
- Build Envelope Dimensions
- Print Resolution
- Print Technology (Stereolithography, Extrusion, Phase Change Inkjet )

You will see charts comparing the printers. Consider using a similar chart to organize the printers you evaluate. Assign point vales for the different categories. The printer with the highest scores should be the one you select, unless you have a compelling reason to pick the 2nd or 3rd highest scoring printer.
Once you have evaluated the printers with your rubric, write up a short justification (275 words) in Word, explaining why you chose the printer you chose, what you will do with it, and how it will improve your classroom or business.

Don’t! The secret of self-control and Marshmallow experiment
$20.001. Read the following article:
Lehrer, J. (2009, May 18). Don’t! The secret of self-control. The New Yorker. Retrieved from: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/05/18/090518fa_fact_lehrer?currentPage=all
- Watch the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vObHeGF37U
This video is entitled “Marshmallow experiment”.
- Your reaction paper should contain a) a summary of the article and video, and b) a description of your personal reactions to the material. Papers should be approximately one and a half single-spaced pages in length, have one-inch margins, and use either the Calibri 12-point font or Times New Roman 12-point font (set for black ink). At least half of the paper should address your personal reactions to the assigned material. The content of the reaction paper is most important, but grammar/spelling errors will be penalized.
- Specifically, your reaction paper should:
- Have one section entitled “Summary” in which you provide a summary of the assigned materials. This section should be at least 1/2 page in length (single-spaced). Place an emphasis on summarizing the material in your own words. Use direct quotes only occasionally.
- Have one section entitled “Personal Reactions” in which you describe your personal reactions and opinions to the material (e.g., what you find to be important and/or significant about the material, areas of agreement and/or disagreement that you have with the material, ideas/thoughts that came to mind as you consider what was said, etc.). The “Personal Reactions” section of your paper should be at least as long as the “Summary” section, but should not exceed one page in length (single-spaced). Again, use direct quotes only occasionally.
