I have in front of me three prototypes for artificial sycamore seeds. Each one is better than the last, but I suspect it will take me about 12 versions to get it right! This is something I have been pondering on recently, which is, just because you know something can be dome, it does not mean it is easy to do..
Example. I have shown Sketchup to anyone who stands still long enough for me to focus on them over the past five years, but still the take up in schools is woefully low. It is a relatively easy piece of software to learn, but still people need help. I am currently running Sketchup trainmg sessions for three clients, including teachers, and it is clear that once people get the basics, they are fine with the rest...
To this end I have developed a set of 10 beginners and 10 advanced Sketchup e-Learning training films for sale. Each has a single task illustrating a particular skill and is carried out on a Sketchup file like the one below. There is a recording sheet to map progress and they are carefully graded. I ran this with 16 teachers in a Twilight Inset in July and it worked extremely well with all levels of staff being able to use the e-Learning films to work at their own pace.

The advanced set are optional and cover shadows, lighting, camera movement and other skills people may need to get the quality output they require.
If you are interested in training, or purchasing a license for a set of films than contact me!
