This statement comes directly from a 3D printing company. They say that it is extremely clean to do and leaves almost no waste material. This has to be taken with a grain of salt because there goal is to sell 3D printers to you.

This article is very interesting because it suggests that 3D printing is by far worse than traditional manufacturing and shipping for many reasons including, counterintuitively, a waste of materials. It also suggests that this may be solved by only using 3D printers for prototyping.

The article talks about how future 3-D printers will be expected to impact the environment in a positive way which includes less energy consumption and less plastic waste.

This article discusses how the current environmental impact of 3D printing may be worse than traditional measures. If the production goes the right way though, they may become significantly more sustainable.

This shows how virtual labs have altered the way students learn and it also uses an example of a lab that was used.

This describes how to use virtual labs, how to save labs that you have done while on a virtual lab, and it has examples of current programs and what somebody would need in order to run certain virtual labs.

3D printers give off unhealthy air emissions similar to burning a cigarette or cooking on a gas or electric stove.

Gorakh Nath Sharma, a math teacher at a school in Ranchi, will be representing India as a Microsoft Innovative Educator at the annual 'Partners in Learning Global Forum.' Sharma speaks to Ruchi Chopda The relative lack of technological advancement and low internet penetration in the rural areas of the country have been a longstanding concern amongst digital experts and policymakers alike.

Education is no longer just pencils and paper inside a brick and mortar classroom. It's using a search engine to define vocabulary words; it's watching a YouTube video to understand the scientific method; it's taking mobile phone photos on a field trip to use in a report.

This is very useful to get a better idea of what remote laboratories are what happens with the equipment when the students are using them.
