I talked in class with a couple of you about how the newest version of <a href=\"http:\/\/earth.google.com\">Google Earth<\/a> had 3-D capabilities. The program to draw 3-D objects is called <a href=\"http:\/\/sketchup.google.com\/index.html\">SketchUp<\/a>. Today I really started looking at it. It seems like you could draw just about any building or object, and make whatever you are drawing an exact size easily. I can&#8217;t believe that this software is free.<\/p>\n<p>There are also some great SketchUp <a href=\"http:\/\/sketchup.google.com\/tutorials.html\">Tutorial videos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to see if we can get Google Earth and SketchUp installed on the laptops and really start using it during homework club. Maybe we could make all of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gesd40.org\/sine\/districtsitetemplate\/index.html\">Sine Elementary<\/a> in SketchUp and share it on the Google Earth Community. I need to go buy some tape measures.<\/p>\n<p>They even have weekly <a href=\"http:\/\/3dchallenge.sketchup.com\/\">SketchUp Challenges<\/a>. Go there and check out some pictures of what can be created.<\/p>\n<p>I hope everyone is having a good break. See you on Monday.
