Google Sketch-Up

We use Google Sketch-up a lot in our Virtual Reality class. Right now we are using to create what we think schools and the world around us are going to look like in 10 years from now with technology. We are going to be doing different things like the classrooms, the cafeteria, a sports stadium, and other things like that. I am going to be creating the classroom view. We had watched a video about a day of glass in our previous class, and that had helped with coming up with ideas (Video: http://youtu.be/6Cf7IL_eZ38). If you actually think about what technology would be like in 10 years from now it is kind of fun to see what you can brainstorm. There are going to be a lots of different things that will probably be unexpected.

I like to use Google Sketch-up to do different projects such as building houses, or something like the project that we are doing. It is a very neat software and even though it takes a while to understand, it is a very cool thing to use. I would suggest Google Sketch-up if you have a lot of time on your hands, if you like to build things, or even if you don't have THAT much time on your hands, I still think that it would be fun for you to do if you just took chunks of time to work on something like this.

Welcome!

Hi, my name is Alissa. I am a student in 8th grade at Van Meter Community Schools. I love to blog, play sports, read, write, draw, be around friends, technology, and other sorts of things like that. I made this blog so I can tell people about the 1 to 1 school that I go to. I will tell about different tools that we use on our Mac laptops, and different websites and applications that we use on our laptops at school. I hope that I can tell you about things that you haven't known before! :)
