SketchUp+Lesson+(Basic)

Show Google Earth with the 3-D layers turned on. Visit Manhattan Island to show how many buildings are live. The objective of this lesson is to become familiar with Google SketchUp and learn to use all the basic tools and complete a few basic 3-D models. Have students draw their building with a pencil and paper. Try to get them to draw the entire outside, with a 3-D style image. Have the students work through the self-paced tutorials Google has provided on [|Google SketchUp Website]. Have the students upload the SketchUp files to a Google Docs and critique their techniques and point out where they could improve. Now students must take their hand drawn building or picture and try to make a SketchUp design of their buildings. This should be to scale. Once the students have completed their building have them upload them to the class Google Docs for all students to see the completed buildings of their classmates. Have the students to make comments on each others models and suggest ways to improve the overall look. Once each student is happy with their finished building, they will add to their presentation.
