BlockCAD
http://web.telia.com/~u16122508/proglego.htm BlockCAD BlockCAD is a freeware program for building virtual models with Lego-like bricks. Everything can be controlled with the mouse, but it's also possible to use the keyboard for most of the commands, making 'routine building' more effective, and there is a minimum of text involved, to make it easier for kids. BlockCAD was started in the summer of 1998, when I saw a demo of a commercial brick building program (whose name escapes me for the moment), and I thought: "I can do that too!". So I did. |

Classroom Architect
http://classroom.4teachers.org/ Classroom Architect Outline Your Classroom Floor Plan For students, the classroom environment is very important. The size of the classroom and interior areas, the colors of the walls, the type of furniture and flooring, the amount of light, and the room arrangement all influence how students learn. Using this floor-planning tool, design a floor plan for your classroom. When you click on an item, it will enlarge in proportion to the space. Arrows will allow you to change the position of some items. This tool provides an opportunity for experimentation with the space and layout of your classroom without any heavy lifting! When you have finished, print off your floor plan. You can now temporarily save up to 5 floorplans at a time. The floorplans are saved to a cookie on your computer and can only be viewed on this computer. If you want to store a floorplan for your records please print it out. |

elearning of CAD
http://linux.spszr.cz/cad/ This Secondary Technical School in Zdar has created webpages for eLearning of CAD. These pages can be used either directly in lessons or by any users at home, they serve to students missing from school because of illness. The webpages give the detailed methodology of modelling and technical drawing. The theory is supported by a great number of figures, pictures and practical examples from the companies where the school's leavers work. The user can learn how to draw and design assemblies and parts, use animation and strength calculation, learn CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) processes. There is a special chapter in which users can contact teachers and discuss learning problems with them. At the moment there is only a Czech language version available, but the teachers are working on English and German versions. Review by 'keepAhead' NOTE : this website has been set up so it automatically goes full screen ... and is a little unnerving ... don't worry as "ALT+F4" gets you out of it. |
