speckytecky Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 My DT / IT Teacher has asked me to set some machines up by the end of the year to enable students to be able to create 'interesting' web pages. I think this must be GCSE related? They suggested "Coffee Cup" but I see from another thread I started that the thoughts are that 'free for education' doesn't exactly mean free. What are other schools using / can recommend?
FN-GM Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 We use dreamweaver. I know some schools use Serif Web Plus apparently its easy to use. 1
benjie Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 We have both Dreamweaver and serif. Our IT teachers are preparing to use serif soon. From what I have seen, serif is the way to go! It is incredibly easy to create good looking sites. 1
mac_shinobi Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Notepad++ with a photo editor like paint.net or gimp or paint shop pro and some css / html guides ?? 1
Ephelyon Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 We use MatchWare Mediator as it's DiDA-certified (with exportable e-portfolios and the like) and quite cheap - only £600/year for 3 years for us. 1
FN-GM Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 We use MatchWare Mediator as it's DiDA-certified (with exportable e-portfolios and the like) and quite cheap - only £600/year for 3 years for us. We also use that, but having stability issues more recently. They have not developed this in 5 years so are going to move away from it.
Ephelyon Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Can't say we've noticed anything on the latest version. What will you be moving to?
speckytecky Posted June 8, 2013 Author Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the replies folks. Is there a relevant guide set down anywhere for the recommended way to set this coursework up? I'm guessing that to achieve the work it's going to have to live somewhere and then how is it accessed? Edited June 8, 2013 by speckytecky

papalemon Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 My school uses Hotpotato, Hot Potatoes Home Page It's a freeware and designed more for teachers and students..
speckytecky Posted August 31, 2013 Author Posted August 31, 2013 Gone with the Serif package. Loaded it up on a laptop for out IT teacher to trial over the holiday.
