QUESTION: Teaching Google SketchUp
Has anyone taught SketchUp to high school students? What kind of resources did you use - video, podcasts, print...??

I have, with some very good results. I started off showing the tool set, explaining which tools do what, then explained the difference between the 2D and 3D environment, i.e the x,y,z, axis. Then let them get started, you'll be amazed what kids will come up with when you just let them run with the software. I made resources like components, and video help available to them to check at their own discretion. Not everyone adapted to thinking in 3D at first but most will come around. It wasn't done as part of any curriculum, but was rather an enrichment class with a few select grades. Can upload a few examples of work done if you interested.
