Thank's for your comment<br />
and thank you very much for your links. It would be great if we could gather many SketchUp lessons for Middle School math students. Unfortunately mine are in italian, I think I'm gonna translate them but not anytime soon.<br />

I agree, SketchUp is a great learning application for students. I had 8th graders make models of our school's buildings last year. A couple are in Google Earth's 3D layer and I'm trouble-shooting a few more models. I'm learning too with it.<br />

Thanks Michelle for your comment.<br />
Sorry, I'm not sure I did actually understood the meaning of it (my english is not perfect).<br />
I had to face the excitement of students too, but eventually they calmed down and learnt to enjoy without getting too excited.<br />
I think it is important the fact that they think about using it at home and the fact that learning becomes with sketchup somewhat social.<br />
Moreover I think it is important that, by drawing in 3D, they concentrate on the process and the structure,…

Moreover I think it is important that, by drawing in 3D, they concentrate on the process and the structure, rather than on the product. (the meaning and not the formula).<br />

I would totally agree! Yesterday was my first chance to bring an entire class into the lab to complete a Prisms webquest and use sketch up. I believe that there is a much better understanding about prisms and their bases through the use of sketch up. It was amazing how quickly students were creating elaborate composite shapes with very little direction from me. A bunch were planning on going home and installing the program on their own computers. Not sure when I saw this much excitement in…

It would be great to have more people experimenting the use of this tool,<br />
I think that there are lots of ideas woth exploring.
