Povzetek

Od seminarja za učitelje do uporabe programskega orodja Google SketchUp v razredu pri pouku tehnike in tehnologije  je potrebno:izbrati pravo programsko orodje med možnimi, ga spoznati in ga obvladati, poiskati in vedeti zakaj je njegova uporaba upravičena, preizkusiti delo z njim v razredu, poiskati načine uporabe in ga umestiti v učni načrt, ter učitelje seznaniti z orodjem in smiselnimi načini uporabe.
To delo se je začelo leta 2009  in še ni končano,  ker je število usposabljanj za uporabo tega orodja še premajhno in ker se je povpraševanje po izobraževanju šele pričelo. Orodje omogoča učencu, da je inovativen in kreativen pri razvoju izdelka. Spozna tehnologijo, ki je danes prisotna v tehnološko naprednejši industriji. Z uporabo razvija prostorsko predstavljivost in izboljšuje digitalno pismenost.

Ključne besede: 3D modeliranje, usposabljanje učiteljev inovativno in kreativno učenje, prostorska predstavljivost, program Google SketchUp

Abstract

From a seminar for teachers, to the use of software Google SketchUp at school lessons techniques and technologies, the following steps are required: choosing the right software tool among all possibilities,  get to know it and master it,  try to work with him it the classroom, look and find indicators for justifying its use, find ways of using it and integrating it into the curriculum, introduce tools and meaningful uses to the teachers.
This work began in 2009 and has not yet been completed, because the number of trainings about using this tool is too low and because the interest for education has only begun. The tool allows the students to be innovative and creative at creating the products. They learn about technology that is present in technologically advanced industries. By using the software they develop spatial concept and improve digital literacy.

Key words: 3D modeling, training teachers, inovative and creative learning, spatial concept, software Google SketchUp
