Informatics Trends Create Professional Opportunities

CREATE: Opportunities for Technology Appropriation

The “Create” research program proposes a holistic model for learning environments that draws from experiences based on technologically saturated environments. This paper presents the first pilot experience of the research program, which implemented a one-to-one computer infrastructure in a small rural community in Costa Rica. While the majority of experiences have been done in developed countri...

Applying Informatics Knowledge to Create 3D Worlds

Designing three-dimensional models using a tool like Google SketchUp is an attractive and inspiring activity fostering spatial thinking and visual creativity. The basic functions of SketchUp are easy to learn (low threshold). But more demanding design projects require computational thinking. This paper discusses some informatics concepts 3D-desigers need to know to be able to use SketchUp effic...
