Chalk Talk: The Uses of Cricut Machines
Elementary teachers love to cut shapes out of paper to pin on their bulletin boards, put words on and display on their word walls, and have children write on to make their work more visually appealing. However, how time consuming would it be to cut out those 100 paper leaves for autumn with just two hands and a pair of scissors? Fortunately, there are a couple of tools that can make this process easier. One such tool is a Cricut (pronounced cricket) machine. This machine is more advanced than the Ellison die-cutter, as it allows users to cut out shapes digitally. On the Cricut, users can customize the size of the shape, how many they would like printed out, and the thickness of paper that is used. All of this information is entered on the digital screen, and users do not have to do any more work than inserting cartridges and paper and pressing a few buttons. There are hundreds of cartridges for the Cricuit, and each one contains various designs—typically within a specific theme.
