sketchup 101

These non-YouTube SketchUp videos are an excellent resource for technology teachers and students. Most schools have blocked student access to YouTube. However students should have access to these videos and will be able to pause, stop, or repeat when needed.  This allows the students to learn at their own pace. These videos are great lessons needed to be successful with SketchUp.  They focus on drawing basic shapes, moving around, drawing accurately, the tape measure tool, moving components, and making components.
