Description:
In this one-day course, learn to use Google SketchUp software for teaching students to interact with and understand the world in which they live in by creating 3-Dimensional objects. SketchUp enables you to draw using a familiar pencil and paper paradigm in a software context. Learn to create surfaces with the Line Tool, Rectangle Tool, Circle Tool, and Polygon Tool. Zoom in and out, orbit into 3d mode, pull a 2D object into a 3D object, and create many other objects while learning the rest of the tools. SketchUp is truly a 21st century tool with a lot of appeal in our increasingly visually and spatially-oriented world.
