ISSUU EXAMPLE by Chelsea Tramel

PBL Essential Elements Checklist Whatever form a project takes, it must have these Essential Elements to meet BIE’s definition of PBL.

Does the Project . . .? FOCUS ON SIGNIFICANT CONTENT At its core, the project is focused on teaching students important knowledge and skills, derived from standards and key concepts at the heart of academic subjects. DEVELOP 21st CENTURY SKILLS Students build skills valuable for today’s world, such as critical thinking/ problem solving, collaboration, and communication, which are taught and assessed. ENGAGE STUDENTS IN IN-DEPTH INQUIRY Students are engaged in a rigorous, extended process of asking questions, using resources, and developing answers.

ORGANIZE TASKS AROUND A DRIVING QUESTION Project work is focused by an open-ended question that students explore or that captures the task they are completing.

ESTABLISH A NEED TO KNOW Students see the need to gain knowledge, understand concepts, and apply skills in order to answer the Driving Question and create project products, beginning with an Entry Event that generates interest and curiosity. ENCOURAGE VOICE AND CHOICE Students are allowed to make some choices about the products to be created, how they work, and how they use their time, guided by the teacher and depending on age level and PBL experience. INCORPORATE REVISION AND REFLECTION The project includes processes for students to use feedback to consider additions and changes that lead to high-quality products, and think about what and how they are learning. INCLUDE A PUBLIC AUDIENCE Students present their work to other people, beyond their classmates and teacher.

$ ! $! Itʼs All About The Benjamin's! $

Send the class blog link to 5 people (not in your technology class). They can be friends or family. Ask them to comment on one of the post. Make sure they put your name down so that you can get credit.

From previous unit: How do you cite webpages? Books? Journal Articles? Newspapers? Magazines? Blogs? Now how do you cite these things if you find them online?

Research Web 2.0. What are the different types of technology that you could use to help you in school? Which site or program would you like to learn more about, and try to use in school?

Research how smart look works in an Issuu. Explain what it is, how it works, and then explain the steps. Try and use it with the class webpage. http://tramelchelsea.weebly.com

$ ! $! Itʼs All About The Benjamin's! $

Create your own animal (not an existing animal) in Sketch Up. Do a research slide over the animal.

Explain the methods of how to create a prezi ( up load powerpoints or create it from scratch). Explain how to upload it into a blog, and share it with other people so that multiple people can edit it.

Explain how google docs works. What types of things can you do with google? Go to www.google.com and under “MORE” find “SITES”. Explain what this is, how it works, and try to create one.

Create 2 advertisements using a glogster. Explain why you decided to advertise whatever product you chose, and what the product does. Explain different tools used in the glogster and what they were used for. Also, explain how to email it, and save it into a word document.

Example of Glogster

***For Teacher Use During Lesson*** How To Sketch Up For Kids • • •

•

Watch intro video over sketch up. Tell students about the index page about the buttons Demonstrate how to draw a building, and then how to draw a roof, and make it 3D. • Draw a rectangle, and draw another rectangle inside it. • Pull up the rectangle on the inside • This only works on flat surfaces, demonstrate how they can pull the sides of buildings out tops, etc. • Get the pencil, and draw a line from one midpoint to another of the rectangle (program will tell you once you hit the midpoint) • Grab the 4 way arrow and click on the line you just drew and pull up on it to create a roof. Demonstrate how to Draw the outline of the landscape • You can draw rectangle, circles, hexagons, on top of each other • Take the eraser and erase the lines inside of the figure. • To erase something simply click on the line or text that you want to erase. You can also hold down your mouse and scroll over and highlight multiple lines to erase. • This gives you the outline layout of your landscape • Draw figures inside, and push and pull them out, • Use the paint feature to paint the land layout the color you want *** Show 3D downloader • Click on the box in the right corner with the yellow arrow. • Type in the figure that you want, zoo, elephant, tiger, etc. • This will bring up animals and sometimes enclosures. You may use these enclosures in your layout of your zoo, as well as the animals. • You may also get trees and plants from this place as well. I want you to be creative, but this can get time consuming, so I want you to utilize your time wisely. • I only want you to create one enclosure of your zoo, I do not care if you use other enclosures that other people made, just make sure you cite them, and give them credit for their work. (state the username, and name of layout) Use the ABC button to create signs for enclosures and restaurants • Click ABC button • Click on place that you want sign, type in name, and click enter. • This labels things. • I want at least the names of the sections in the zoo, not necessarily the animals • I only want 5 animals labeled, and if you have animals in the building, I want to know what type of animals are in the building. • Example: insects building, this is all I’m looking for.

• Below is what I will be demonstrating to the kids

Designing in SketchUp SketchUp models are fundamentally created by joining lines as the edges of the model. Faces are automatically created when any three or more lines or edges are in the same plane (an infinite flat 2D space), or coplanar, and form a closed loop. These edge and face combinations are combined to create 3D models. The following image shows three unconnected coplanar lines. These lines were drawn with the Line Tool (this tool looks like a pencil).

The following image shows four connected coplanar lines and the subsequently created flat, 2 dimensional, face.

Note - Everything you draw in SketchUp is generically referred to as geometry. To create a 3D model, simply draw up or down in the blue direction (parallel to the blue axes). The coordinate system (axes) is covered later in this section. The following image shows the first line created in 3D space.

As you continue to draw lines, following the colored axes, faces are created. The following image shows three faces created simply by drawing lines parallel to the three axes directions (red, green, and blue). ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

Concepts

There is one line left to draw to finish a 3 dimensional box. Notice that when this one line is drawn in, two faces are created (the top and front faces).

You can do a lot in SketchUp simply by drawing lines to form faces using the Line Tool. And, you can draw lines starting anywhere (on another line, on a face, at a point, and so on). Can you recognize the previous 3D box within the model of the following house?

Look around the room you are in. Notice how everything you look at has faces. Some faces might be rounded, some might be flat. Additionally, everything has edges that bound the face, such as the edge of a shelf in a bookshelf. Note - SketchUp is not the same as Computer Assisted Design or CAD. CAD applications are designed specifically for representing concrete information, while SketchUp is for exploration and design of concepts and ideas (though you are not prohibited from designing models that are as concrete or accurate as those designed in CAD). SketchUp files can be imported into several different CAD applications for further processing and several different CAD files can be imported into SketchUp to quickly create 3D models.

Introduction to Entities As mentioned previously, lines are combined to create faces in SketchUp. Lines (also called edges) and faces, are just two of the many building blocks (called entities) used for creating models in SketchUp. A full list of SketchUp entities follows. Name

Notes

Line

Lines in SketchUp are straight. Lines, also referred to as edges, are the most basic building block for all SketchUp models.

Face

Faces are created automatically when three or more coplanar edges form a closed loop. Faces have a front side and a back side. SketchUp attempts to put the front side of all faces on the outside (facing out) of all of your models, though sometime you might have to tell SketchUp the direction for your faces.

Circle

Circle, arcs, and curves are comprised of several lines or edges.

model for quick operations such as a copy. Component

Component entities are like groups but can be reused in all of your SketchUp models. Components are just SketchUp models used within other SketchUp models.

Construction Line

A Construction Line entity is a temporary line used as a drawing guide.

Dimension

A notation indicating length of an edge or a radius.

Surface

Surface entities are the result of combining a number of faces to give the impression of smoothness.

Section Plane Image

An imported raster, or pixel-based, image.

Text

Text can be unattached (floating) or attached to a specific entity using a leader line.

The SketchUp Coordinate Systems SketchUp uses a 3D coordinate system whereby points in space are identified by position along three drawing axes: plus or minus X, Y, and Z (above ground/below ground) values. In SketchUp, plus or minus X is represented by solid red and dotted red lines respectively; plus or minus Y are represented by a solid green and dotted green axis lines respectively; plus or minus Z (above and below the ground plane) are represented by solid blue and dotted blue lines respectively. The plane where the red and green axes lines lie is called the ground plane. Finally, the term origin, is used to define the place where all of axes lines start or originate. The following image shows the drawing axes in SketchUp (the lines have been thickened to make the axes easier to read). The black circle represents the origin.

Understanding SketchUp’s coordinate system is important because SketchUp’s inference engine (explained next) provides you help with drawing accurately.

Following the Inference Engine SketchUp has an invisible inference engine to help you draw accurate and realistic models. The inference engine locates or infers points from other points in your model, such as the center of a circle, the midpoint of a line, a line that is perpendicular to the ground plane, a point on a face, a point on an edge, and so on. SketchUp notifies you of these points by using both color indicators and tool tips, which are onscreen messages indicating the location of the cursor as you draw an entity. For example, SketchUp displays the string â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Face" when the cursor is touching a face. The following image contains five common inference tool tips.

Additional information on the inference engine, including inference types, is in the User Interface section of this guide. The first step to drawing in SketchUp is to learn how to draw accurately by following the cues of the inference engine. Simply select the Line Tool (it looks like a pencil in the toolbar) and start drawing. Pay attention to the on-screen tool tips from the inference engine as you draw. Most everything you will create in SketchUp can be created by inference using the Line Tool. You can move on to learning how to draw quickly after you master using the inference engine. = Functionality only available in SketchUp Pro

Drawing Quickly As mentioned in the Design in SketchUp topic, you can use the Line Tool and the inference engine, to draw just about anything in SketchUp. It is recommended that you use the Line Tool and inference engine to create your initial models. Tip - Learn to draw accurately before you learn to draw quickly and you will master SketchUp in a shorter amount of time. SketchUp implements several concepts which you will use to help you draw quickly. These are dividing and healing, pushing and pulling, sticky geometry, autofold, and intersections.

Dividing and Healing Geometry Some tools speed up design dramatically by allowing you to perform modifications on existing geometry. For example, the Line Tool allows you to split faces and edges to create additional independent faces and edges. Simply divide the face or edge with another edge. This concept is similar to cutting a piece of paper in half and having two separate remaining pieces. The following image shows how two faces are created when dividing the face with a line. Notice the image on the left has one solid top face, while the image on the right has two independent faces when split with a line. Note that the dividing line does not cut through the model from top to bottom, but just cuts the top face in half.

The following image shows how the edges at each end of the face have been split to create additional edges. Note four edges bounding the face in the left image, while four edges bounding each of two faces in the image on the right (the middle edge being common to both top faces).

SketchUp User's Guide

If you remove the line that shared by the two faces in the image on the right, the two faces will be glued back together or healed back into one face. It is common in SketchUp to perform these dividing and healing operations to your model.

Pushing and Pulling The Push/Pull Tool allows you to take any non-curved face in SketchUp and push it away or pull it toward a starting point (these operations are also referred to as extrusions). Pushing is the process of reshaping a portion of your model by shrinking the portion away from its starting point and along a single axis. The following image shows the right-most face of the split face (shown earlier) pushed down toward the ground plane.

In the previous image, there are eight faces that can be pushed, can you find them (some are hidden out of view)? Pulling is the process of expanding a portion of your model away from the starting point along a single axis. The following image shows the same face having been pulled up toward the sky. Any face in SketchUp can be pushed and pulled (with some minor limitations).

Concepts

In both of the images, the left side of the cube remained the same size, while the right side was pushed and pulled (shrunk and expanded) independently. The Push/Pull Tool is one of the most commonly used tools in SketchUp to add the sense of volume to your model.

Manipulating Connected Faces Geometry in SketchUp is sticky meaning that it can be manipulated (skewed, distorted, or folded) by selecting an edge or face and moving the edge or face with the Move Tool (causing all entities attached or "stuck" to the edge or face to move too). Following are three examples of sticky geometry in SketchUp: 1. The following image shows a line dividing the top face of a box being moved up with a Move Tool. The faces that were connected to the middle line followed the line as it was moved to create a roof-like effect.

2. The following image shows the left-most top face being moved down in the blue direction. This action causes the left-most top face to angle to create a slant on one side.

3. Finally, the following image shows the left-most top-edge being moved to the left. The model is skewed into a trapazoid-like shape.

Be sure to use the Move Tool to grab and move edges and faces while you begin to experiment with modeling in SketchUp. Tip - Experimentation and play is highly important in learning how to draw in SketchUp! Learn how to draw accurately first, then learn how to draw quickly using the concepts in this portion of the user's guide.

Autofold Faces must remain planar at all times in SketchUp. Therefore, SketchUp will Autofold, or score, faces as necessary to accommodate any operation that will result in warped faces.

In the left-most image above, a six-sided polygon volume's top face (created with the Polygon Tool followed by the Push/Pull Tool) was rotated using Rotate Tool. Because of SketchUp's sticky nature, the sides of the shape, which share common edges with the top face, twisted and folded with the rotate operation (right-most image).

Concepts What you are not seeing is that SketchUp has created hidden geometry when performing this Autofold operation. The following image shows the 3 dimensional shape with the hidden geometry shown (dotted lines). Notice that each twisted faces are actually comprised of two triangular faces.

Intersections (Boolean Operations) SketchUp allows you to easily create complex geometry by intersecting two geometrical forms, such as a box and a tube, creating new edges where the elements intersect, merging the geometry, and subtracting parts of the combined geometry.

In the left-most image above, a cylinder shape was moved into a cube shape. Notice, that no lines appear where the two shapes intersect, indicating that the shapes have not truly merged. A special tool, called the Intersect with Model Tool, is used to create intersection lines (the middle image), merging the two shapes together to form one new shape. Finally, the cylinder shape is deleted (using the eraser tool on the cylinder's edges) and because the intersection lines were created, the resulting curved face is left within the cube creating a new complex geometrical shape (right image).

SketchUp Tools Most entities in SketchUp, including arcs and circles, are actually just a combination of small lines or edges. Thankfully, you do not have to use only the Line Tool to sketch your models. ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

SketchUp User's Guide Instead, SketchUp provides many other tools to help you draw quickly. Some of these tools are for creating common entities such as a circle, arc, polygon, or freehand line. Other tools allow you to quickly draw complex models by modifying your models (splitting, skewing, and even merging geometry together). Tools in SketchUp are divided into five categories: principal tools (tools that are used a lot to select and modify geometry), drawing tools (tools used to create geometry), modification tools (tools used to modify existing geometry), construction tools (tools used to create construction lines or points, and document your model), camera tools (tools used to view geometry; discussed later), and walkthrough tools (tools to explore your model).
