We downloaded Google Sketch Up 8. The kids watched the following youtube video as a tutorial.
The kids followed along with the steps that are layed out in the tutorial to create their own building. Once the kids are comfortable with the Google Sketch Up features, they will create their house as they envision it will be in heaven.

Keep your eyes peeled for more about Mr. Ed White, author of Foxy's Tale and Iditarod competitor. He offers free video conferencing opportunities for schools. I contacted Mr. White today, and he has already responded. We will be scheduling a Skype session for Feb/Mar when the 3rd and 4th Graders do a unit on Alaska and the Iditarod! The class will read Mr. White's book before the video conference. The book is a 4th grade level book with 88 pages.
