Google Sketchup
For the last part of my Personal Technology Project, I learned about Google Sketchup. It was really fun! And it is such a cool program.
It took me awhile to figure everything out, but after a lot of trial and error I created a design for a living room/kitchen/dining room! I downloaded models from Google 3D to use as furnishings.
I think this is a great tool for those interested in Interior Design. As a FACS major, I think it would be really great to use in the classroom when teaching my students. They can use Google Sketchup to design their own homes and use the concepts we talk about in class to make the houses fit the criteria that we discuss. For example, there are rules about traffic in the home. How wide should the hallway be? How much room should there be between the bed and the wall? These are things that students could easily incorporate into their designs.
I only have a basic understanding of Google Sketchup, but I'm sure my students would love to explore it more and create more exciting and complicated things!

Pinterest!
I LOVE Pinterest. It is so fun! And I have learned so much from it. I have been able to connect with my friends and others that share my interests. I love getting ideas for recipes and crafts that I can use for personal use, and use for teaching in the future.
I think this gives me a lot of instructional opportunities for teaching. I have so many new ideas that I can use in the classroom and that I can use to further increase my experience and knowledge.
One activity that I would use this for, is cooking. I love looking through the recipes and especially the fun holiday ideas. I can share these with my students and use them in the classroom to create fun projects for them.
I could also assign the students to make their own boards on pinterest so they can look for new recipes or clothing styles and patterns.
I could also use it for Interior Design. If I teach interior design, Pinterest would be a great tool for the students to look and see examples of styles and concepts we talk about in class.
I think this could be a great took used for teaching and helping me and the students learn more about our creative interests.
