Before starting to create, I watched this video provided by the website that helped me to understand the entire design process before creating my own svg file. After watching the video, I started to play around and think of ways that I would use this custom name puzzle in the classroom. I like that with the svg file I created, I could reduce both the size and manipulate where it was cut on the Glowforge materials. It was a quick project that could easily use different materials like acrylic or even cardboard for a more cost effective classroom project. | |
Classroom Applications
1. Create a bilingual puzzle with the word in both languages and add an engraved image that supports the word from the Glowforge library of images.
2. Create a word practice board that integrates the manipulation of the physical letters and an acrylic lined rectangle for practicing the word by writing it on the acrylic with a dry erase marker.
3. Build an understanding of vowels, suffixes, prefixes, etc. by using colors to reinforce parts of the word that is being focused on.
I see so many possibilities with this free resource. I strongly recommend visiting cuttle to explore more of the templates as well as how to learn to create different projects.
