Transforming Teaching

Building Better Thinkers: Empowering students to use free tools to plan, build and share their dreams.

Presented At:

Arizona Correctional Educators Symposium, Tucson, Arizona, May 2010

Program Description: Tools such as Google Sketchup, Scratch, and Block Cad empower students to virtually design, manipulate, and create anything they can imagine. By making these tools available to your students, you are providing opportunities that will foster critical thinking skills, communication skills, and positive collaboration skills. All the tools that are presented are available for free, do not require internet access, and will work on most computers.
