MYP Journal Prompt #1

February 15, 2009:-

I began working on my first task of my MYP Personal Project. To begin things off, i downloaded the program onto my USB hardrive. Before downloading i read all about what was Google sketchup and to sum it up it's basically a 3-D sketchup program where you can design or construct model homes and present it to others in a 3-D Visual Aid for others to see. This program was difficult to grasp at first but i began to view the different keys and icons and began to just roam around for a couple of hours. This project seems to be challenging but also fun.

Agenda: 3/17 Tuesday
