Last week in lecture I was introduced to Google SketchUp. Unsure of what it was, I Googled it, downloaded it, watched a tutorial about it, and then played with it. With help and instruction, Google SketchUp is something that even young students can learn to use. Websites such as www.3dvinci.net provide lessons and activities for grades 1-12 using Google SketchUp for math, art, science, and other subject areas. Sixth grade teacher Seth Denney was surprised at how quickly his students caught on to using the program. This got me thinking that if sixth graders could learn the basics of the program in just two days, it shouldn't be that difficult to use Google SketchUp in elementary classrooms.
