SketchUp Education

Google provides low-cost or no-cost software licenses for students, educators and institutions for getting educated in software learning.

SketchUp is an exceptional tool which smooths the progress of learning for students. Google Sketchup is a program that would be helpful in a range of geometry-leaning courses or course activities.

As present era is a 3 Dimensional world to live, so SketchUp has made it’s position in every classroom, dorm room and student laptop in the world.

SketchUp is a big tool to teach kids effortlessly for constructing 3D models of buildings, trees, cars, and the like. One can utilize it as a separate tool or in combination with Google Earth and the 3D Warehouse.

There are various lessons ranging from learning about area and volume to studying building and community design – whose concepts are best exemplified in 3D. SketchUp can be applied to different segments of education like geography, social studies, history and industrial technology. With the application of SketchUp students get the ability to envisage geometry and other mathematical concepts without having to create their own models. Students can symbolize various "what if" kinds of situations which can assist them to visualize the size of very large objects. They can generate models to get used to architecture and design everything from games and toys to models of spaceships and cars.

Students who are undergoing training in Theater and film can apply SketchUp to conceptualize their sets. Students may utilize it to take part in community development projects which includes CAD, GIS, or other design functions. SketchUp is very useful for math students at all levels for understanding geometric concepts in a better way. Instructions or guiding questions can easily be imbedded into the model, to help students systematically examine the geometric features of a figure. And 3D design can easily be added to any number of classroom projects which are not directly connected with design. These are like designing a set for a play to creating visualizations of historical settings or about history by building a virtual history museum.
