technologiesand provide ample reason to reexamine the opportunities for self-directed learning.! !Candy (2004) suggested that self-directed learning “provides a more direct route intounderstanding the actual dynamics of and relationship(s) between learning andtechnologies.” Technology can constrain the direction and focus, allowing for a user toquickly find and record relevant information, yet it also can be a distracting environmentthat leads to inefficiency or reduces motivation. Technology affords incredible access forlearners to connect with others, explore topics of interest, and participate in opportunitiesotherwise unavailable to them. In addition, technology provides vast amounts of resources,both information and people, to serve as materials for

our society is imperative. Inrecognition of this problem, the objective of this paper is to present the geothermal energy as oneof the clean and sustainable form of renewable energy that uses the heat stored in the Earth as itssource of energy. Its first commercial uses dates back to the early 1800’s and has continued togrow throughout the years. One of its most known and common uses is at a small scale as a heatsource for residences. It can also be used at a much larger scales. There are several questions thatcome up with large scale geothermal energy model. How much energy can be produced? Cangeothermal energy produce enough energy for a whole town, city, or country? What is the initialcost and lifelong cost of geothermal energy? Are there

The idea of rapid prototyping came to be from the need for quicker andcost-efficient design testing for product development within the manufacturing industry. It wasn’tuntil 2009
