Are you using open source software to teach the Design and Technology curriculum, either at primary or secondary level? Do you know of anyone who is? We'd love to have some stories about this for the website if so! We'd also be interested in any software you'd recommend in relation to D&T for the software directory, links to stories elsewhere, or even full case studies.
The up and coming area of open source hardware is also one for which we'd be very interested to hear about any school related uses.
Do please post anything D&T related via the Create Content link on the menu.
Thanks in anticipation,
Miles.











At Tendring Technology College we use Moodle to deliver control at KS3. We have developed a number of buggy simulators that can be programmed with Basic. The Basic editor in the simulator is interchangeable with revolution education programming editor. Pupils can can test their program on the simulator then copy and paste into programming editor. It can then be downloaded to a rev-ed buggy. You can try the simulators at http://moodle.ttcdtinternet.com. Click on New Simulator on the right hand side of the home page.
