▌Abstract
Using Innovation technology with appropriate instructional strategies to solve the problems of teaching and learning is the core value for the classroom of the future. The present study is a preliminary exploration study that is intended to help the six graders who are underachievers for learning 3D concept by applying virtual teacher Avatar and Google SketchUp in a multimedia learning materials of the 3D concept course. Based on the principle of the remedial instruction, teaching content should be match to the needs of the underachievers. Moreover, the preliminary method is also suggested while using the innovation technology into instruction. Thus, this research study is not taken quantitative research experiment as a method to compare the effectiveness. Results of the study reveal that students, who are underachievers in math learning, demonstrate better learning performance, motivation, and attitude after using the multimedia materials implemented with teacher avatar and Google SketchUp 3D tool. Finally, suggestions for future researchers, can be considered a quantitative study of the experimental method to get to the more empirical results.
