We had an enlightening "Learn to Discover" hands-on session yesterday. The students used laptops and tablets to design a robot to rescue a person from the water.
They used Google Sketch Up which may be downloaded for free. Below is a tutorial.
I think the students might enjoy creating their "dream house" this summer using this CAD technology!
Another fun and educational app is BridgeBasher which is a $0.99 download for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
Yesterday, we also viewed a lesson from Legospace.com . There are plenty of interesting activities to explore on this site.
Toontastic is a story building cartoon making free app for iPads. We should have used this last year! Try it this summer!
Playtime Theater is also a fun app. You can insert pictures onto characters, but it doesn't allow animation like Toontastic.
Storylines is like the game of "telephone" with pictures.
