      Yes... even younger and younger students can start to learn 3D modeling for computational thinking
  • It was hard to keep away my oldest daughter, who is 12, so we could finish.
  • It was hard to keep away my oldest daughter, who is 12, so we could finish.   Taylor told her teacher what she did and asked if I could bring in my Lap Top to show her. She asked if I would show the whole class as well.

  • Sketchup is remarkably user-friendly! Technology in the classroom is a great tool... it motivates students, stimulates learning, and often levels the playing field. Sketchup is a terrific example... there were gasps of delight and exclamations of enthusiasm as Brian demonstrated just a few of the basics. We all wondered why we had spent so much time with pencil and paper... this looked to be a whole lot more fun and more versatile. Needless to say, every child wanted to try it and they were all able to quickly master a few simple steps with Brian's guidance. I think they would have gladly designed an entire city had we given them time!"

      visual and interesting to today's digital learners
  • As a teacher, I saw a multitude of curriculum connections; geometry, measurement, logic, problem solving, art, perspective... the list goes on and on.

    I'm curious as to those instructors using Blackboard, or Web CT or some other curriculum delivery system. I've found that blackboard meets the needs of group management, calendar, tasks, and chat, and discussion, but are there add-ons that permit blogging, wiki development?
