Trimble SketchUp
Trimble SketchUp (http://sketchup.google.com
; see Figure 18-10), formerly known as Google SketchUp, is one of the most popular 3D modeling tools in the world! It’s a great tool to use with the interactive whiteboard because it allows your audience to interact and view how something is built in the most visible and versatile way. This software is used for education, geo-modeling, movie making, engineering, architecture, design, construction, game design, and more.
Using the interactive whiteboard to bring a project to life is an awesome experience. What’s more impressive is if two participants use the software and together construct something. SketchUp Gallery comes with hundreds of incredible images and models you can use. For instance, you can quickly design a bathroom or engage a physics class in building a bridge. Visual gaming is especially cool. The neat thing about SketchUp is that people around the world share and build together. Give it a try!
