EdTechRoundUp Weekly #27 – Google Sketchup, presenting on ‘collaboration’ and open textbooks.

ETRU WeeklyThis week’s meeting was led by Bob Hill. On the agenda was the educational uses of Google Sketchup, the best ways to practice what you preach when presenting on ‘collaboration’, and the concept of ‘Open Source Textbooks’. The latter, Stuart Meldrum has been keen to point out, is not a wiki textbook, but a collaboratively-authored hard-copy effort!
