Blender is open-source software which can be used for 3D modelling, animation, rendering, particle and other simulations and creating interactive 3D applications, including video games, animated film, or visual effects. Blender features a range of advanced features and it does have a reputation as being difficult to learn with a complex interface. However, there are a range of video tutorials which can be used to learn the basics of Blender. How can I use Blender in the classroom?Blender is probably more suited to pupils in KS3 and KS4 and as such can be used within the ICT curriculum to teach pupils about modelling and simulations, graphics or computer game design. The software also has a role in Art and Design Technology due to the artistic and design elements that are required to successfully use the software. A case study from CLEO suggests that it works well when used with a small group of pupils rather than a whole class, suggesting that it would make a useful extension tool for gifted and talented pupils as part of a personalised learning approach.

Google SketchUp
Google SketchUp is software for creating 3D models of buildings, objects or anything else. Once you have made a model why not share it via the warehouse or attach it to a map on google earth. Models can also be downloaded free of charge to be edited or used within the classroom. Redesign your classroom, Model a city, create a new playground then export and share as a video. The only limit is your imagination. Download SketchUp
