Sketching Up Autism: Google Workshop Helps Parents and Teachers of Children with Autism - University of Utah News Release: January 28th, 2010

Sketching Up Autism: Google Workshop Helps Parents and Teachers of Children with Autism - University of Utah News Release: January 28th, 2010

If you use SketchUp (free from Google) this is an idea you may like.   This year, I saw students in an Alternative Ed school use SketchUp for the first time and design their own race cars.  It was amazing!  Their teacher had the basics and the students  took it to the next level.

Bonnie Roskes, 3D Vinci has a newsletter she publishes monthly with tips and ideas for SketchUp for free.  There is a paid subscription with even MORE  information and lesson plans.   I look forward to getting the information from her monthly.

I have heard of teachers using SketchUp with 3rd graders!  The younger you are, the less fear you have of new concepts!

Let's SketchUp!!
