Hi, I'm a math teacher in Florence, Italy, Middle School.<br />
<br />
For the second time I've been using Sketchup with 13-year-old students<br />
to introduce and work with solids. (See <a href="http://www.classroom20.com/forum/topics/sketchup-for-math-in-middle">first time</a>).<br />
<br />
For the final animation this time I used SketchyPhysics in order to make the cars drawn by students, run, jump, hit each other ...<br />
<br />
I want to share the result since I think it is quite nice:<br />

<br />
With this class I worked 8 weeks (1 our a week with sketchup).<br />
All the the model were made by the students, even the blue convertible.<br />
The only thing I added, since they repeadetely required it, are the shock absorbers for the monster truck.<br />
<br />
Comments are really wellcome and appreciated.<br />
<br />
<b>[Edit] Now in Google Earth</b><br />
<br />
I coudln't resist and I made the students' cars work inside Google Earth.<br />
I did not write the code (it was written by someone at Google),<br />
I only changed it to make it work with the students cars.<br />
<br />
Accept to install the plugin if required, it's great fun ...<br />

<br />
Making the cars work in google earth is not related to the work on solids that<br />
led to drawing the cars and I didnt allow the students to try the plugin at school.<br />
However, seeing this kind of possibilities activated the students' imagination,<br />
interest and attention in the whole subject. Sketchup Animation and Mathtag:www.classroom20.com,2008-11-24:649749:Topic:2220482008-11-24T20:55:24.716Zguzmanhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/guzman

I've been teaching SketchUp as a unit in middle school for the last 3 years, with each year seems to turn out better than the last. My question is does anyone else teach this? If so what works best for you? Any links to lesson materials would be great.<br />
<br />
I am in the middle of redesigning how the unit is taught, and have found that a short video clip explaining how a tool could be used followed by a tutorial that allows for students to apply what they saw to be the most effective.<br />

Yesterday, I was asked to compile a wish list for goodies in my school for next year. This is a daunting task for me, because I just don't know what I don't know.<br />
<br />
I work in a charter school with grades 5-8 in a f2f program and K-8 in a virtual program, whose participants may be coming on site at least monthly for exciting program possibilities (art, science, job, math, and writing academies, to name a few).<br />

Yesterday, I was asked to compile a wish list for goodies in my school for next year. This is a daunting task for me, because I just don't know what I don't know.<br />
<br />
I work in a charter school with grades 5-8 in a f2f program and K-8 in a virtual program, whose participants may be coming on site at least monthly for exciting program possibilities (art, science, job, math, and writing academies, to name a few).<br />
<br />
I'm in charge of the f2f kids and we are very future- and tech-focused in our learning. Kids are already well experienced with setting up and running their own blogs/wikis, and have really eaten up Sketchup and Google Earth. They also love to make movies with iMovie, write music/create podcasts with GarageBand, and a few are also experienced with using Comic Life. (go Mac, go!) We've also begun experimenting with Open-Source games in order to begin to switch them from FirstPerson Shooter games to something with more of an academic bent. It seems to be working! (did I mention that I know how to use very few of these--but they are teaching me??)<br />
<br />
One of my main goals with technology is to have them experience all sorts of tools that are the pre-cursors for their future tools and toys. We use those tools and project/problem-based learning to explore the traditional curriculum of schools. (we're not just messing around with gadgets)<br />
<br />
I'd like to set them up with a video/audio studio where they can take their broadcasts to the next level by inserting their own backgrounds. I'd also like us to begin reaching out to the rest of the world with groups like Global Nomads (<a href="http://www.gng.org/">http://www.gng.org/</a>). I understand we'll be getting a polycom set up--as you can see, my wish list is not limited by dollars.<br />
<br />
Keeping my situation in mind, can anyone suggest some good tools that could be useful to my students? Let me know the tool, an approx cost, and some ideas of usefulness. Thank you SO much! They've eaten up all that I've thrown at them this year (our first year of existance) and will be voracious for more next year!
