Google Sketch Up-Bowersox
Google SketchUp
“Students get excited about 3D modeling with SketchUp. Use 3D modeling to explore concepts and ideas!” Google For Educators - SketchUp
SketchUp is an example tool for teaching kids to assemble 3D models of buildings, trees, cars, and the like. As a teacher, you can use it as a “stand-alone tool, or in conjunction with Google Earth and the 3D Warehouse.”
“There are any number of lessons – from learning about area and volume to studying building and community design – whose concepts are best illustrated in 3D. Students can use SketchUp to visualize geometry and other mathematical concepts, create models to learn about architecture, and design everything from games and toys to models of spaceships and cars.”
This would be a fun tool for students to use in an agriculture classroom when working with construction. It is a very hands-on application that would show students relevance to class material and content.

32GB USB Flash Drive Has An eSata Connector On The Other End- Matt Bennett
Holy Cow, are you kidding me, here they are offering a 32 GB flash drive that not only connects into the everyday USB drive but also has taken it a step further and on the other end you can attach it to an eSata port. That is freaking unreal. I like this idea. Sanwa has taken your normal, everyday USB flash drive and simply added an eSata connector to the other end, allowing for transfer speeds of up to 75MB/sec if your PC happens to have an external eSata port. The flash drives, which not surprisingly are only available in Japan, will come in 16 & 32GB capacities and will hopefully not cost much more than a similarly equipped USB-only flash drive, but don't count on it.
LG Launches DTXTR Site To Translate Text Messages - Matt Bennett
Holy Crap, Steve i saw this and immediately thought of you. This would be a great way to have your students keep texting you even though you have no idea what their codes mean. Now you can just enter them in the Teen Text Column and this DTXTR will translate what they mean in english. That would be very helpful, and as long as you keep it our little secret. The students will think you are hip and cool.

The Cocoon Laptop Case Featuring The GRID-IT Organization System- Matt Bennett
Now Only $ 69.99Now if you’re the type who just crams all of their toys in a bag and couldn’t care less about what happens to them, there’s a good chance you’ll have no interest in this post. But if you’re like me and need to be assured your stuff isn’t going to get dinged or scratched up in transport, you might want to take a few seconds and check out my hands-on look at the Cocoon laptop bag.
This would be great for like your ag sales, or ag communications teams, where the students know where everything is and that you can do a quick glance and know if they have everything that they are supposed to have.
