One very notable piece of feedback was where SketchUp was a deciding factor for a student to actually take up a particular subject. Does your school have good experiences with SketchUp? Why not share them with us?

County Mayo shows Ireland how it's done
County Mayo is becoming a bit of a digital hub. Besides being where my mother hails from, it is the current Taoiseach's county, Mayo's endeavours to progress in the use of technology have been quite impressive. Recently St. Colman's School introduced an option to use iPads instead of books, and now Westport has featured in the official Google SketchUp Blog for it's Town of Tomorrow initiative.
I hope Ireland takes up on Mayo's initiatives. We need more of this!
