Ejemplo+de+cómo+enfrentarse+a+las+TIC

====Durante el curso repetiremos esta misma idea: no es sobre las herramientas, sino sobre los cambios. Aquí vemos un ejemplo de una buena actitud para enfrentarse a las TIC. De una aplicación que no estaba destinada al aula, podemos inferir en qué, cuándo y cómo puede resultar eficaz para nuestras clases y los aprendizajes de nuestros alumn@s.====

=== [|Autodesk Homestyler - Design a Room or a House]  ===

[|Autodesk Homestyler] is a good website for designing the interior of a room or of an entire house. The service is free and can be used without registering for an account (although registering for an account is an option). Using [|Autodesk Homestyler] you can design the shape of a room, add closets, remove or add walls, and drop in furnishings. You can view your designs in 2D or 3D. In 3D you can rotate your room to get a better picture of the layout of your room.

[|Autodesk Homestyler] is designed for use by people who are remodeling or building a new room, but I thought that it could be used as part of mathematics lesson on area. You could give students an assignment to try to design a room in as many configurations as possible while still staying within a square footage parameter that you assign. You might also challenge students to see how many units of a particular furnishing can be placed in the rooms they design.
