OUTLINE OF THE WORKSHOP
• Overview of Trimble SketchUp
• What is the pedagogical foundation of using Trimble SketchUp
• Trimble SketchUp and Google Earth
• Modelling with Trimble SketchUp
• The 3D Warehouse
• Plugins
• Resources, Links and references
• The last part of the presentation will be hands on, giving you time to explore
how Trimble SketchUp can help you.
WHAT IS TRIMBLE SKETCHUP
• Trimble SketchUp is a 3D modelling program that allows the users to
model almost any object that they wish. The depth of the program
provides users with the ability to create realistic virtual models and a
range of 'plugins' extend this to 'augmented reality' models, 3D
printing and pattern development and cardboard modelling.

PEDAGOGICAL REASONING
• Statement of Learning
• Australian Curriculum
• ISTE NETS-S National Education Technology Standards for Students
• TPACK
STATEMENT OF LEARNING FOR ICT
• Organisers from the Statement of
Learning for ICT
AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM
• In the Australian Curriculum students develop ICT competence as they learn to use ICT
effectively and appropriately when investigating, creating and communicating ideas and
information at school, at home, at work and in their communities.
• Description
• Students develop ICT competence when they learn to:
• Investigate with ICT: using ICT to plan and refine information searches; to locate and
access different types of data and information and to verify the integrity of data when
investigating questions, topics or problems
• Create with ICT: using ICT to generate ideas, plans, processes and products to create
solutions to challenges or learning area tasks
• Communicate with ICT: using ICT to communicate ideas and information with others
adhering to social protocols appropriate to the communicative context (purpose,
audience and technology)
• Operate ICT: applying technical knowledge and skills to use ICT efficiently and to
manage data and information when and as needed
• Apply appropriate social and ethical protocols and practices to operate and manage ICT.
ISTE NETS-S National Education Technology Standards for Students

NETS FOR STUDENTS• Within NETS for Students there are six Performance Indicators. Each Performance Indicator
indicates and outlines what the student should be able to achieve within technological
literacy by the completion of a school year. The Performance Indicators are guidelines
where the students are aware of the programs goals and what they are attempting to
achieve to meet NETS standards. The Performance Indicators are as follows:
• Creativity and Innovation:
• Communication and Collaboration:
• Research and Information Fluency:
• Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Decision Making:
• Digital Citizenship:
• Technology Operations and Concepts: .
CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION:
Students demonstrate creative thinking,
construct knowledge, and develop
innovative products and processes using
technology.
Students:
a.apply existing knowledge to generate new
ideas, products, or processes.
b.create original works as a means of
personal or group expression.
c.use models and simulations to explore
complex systems and issues.
d. identify trends and forecast possibilities.
COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION: • Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work
collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute
to the learning of others.
Students:
a. interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of
digital environments and media.
b. communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of
media and formats.
c. develop cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with learners of
other cultures.
d. contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problems.
RESEARCH AND INFORMATION FLUENCY:
• Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information. .
Students:
a. plan strategies to guide inquiry.
b. locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information
from a variety of sources and media.
c. evaluate and select information sources and digital tools based on the
appropriateness to specific tasks.
d. process data and report results.
CRITICAL THINKING, PROBLEM SOLVING
AND DECISION MAKING:
• Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage
projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate
digital tools and resources.
Students:
a. identify and define authentic problems and
significant questions for investigation.
b. plan and manage activities to develop a solution
or complete a project.
c. collect and analyze data to identify solutions
and/or make informed decisions.
d. use multiple processes and diverse perspectives
to explore alternative solutions.
DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP:
