My Project

Special needs students do not always have the same opportunities as general education students, so I wanted my students to have the technology of a die cutting machine. These machines are particularly useful in special education classrooms. Students will use for various educational applications. Teachers can use them to produce many items that are highly effective at helping educate students.

Teachers use this to enhance student learning in a visual manner through the production of numbers, letters, shapes, items for bulletin boards, and manipulatives.

Please help my special needs students get creative and create masterpieces.
