I'm the ICT Co-ordinator of a primary school in South London, which uses Smartboards. At present, our current maintenance and repair contract is expired. We've received some quite firm advice from the borough regarding the firm we have been using. The general drift being "don't use them again, they're not all they claim to be". I was wondering if any Edugeek users in the area could recommend the firms they use for services, repairs et al? Some of the boards are starting to age, and at present we have no cover for them. Any advice appreciated. cp_cp

What it says on the tin, really. My school has acquired a Sony Handycam (DCR-SR290E), and the manual says the @ the "Handycam" software needs to be installed before we can upload video from it. However, our tech support guys understandably want to see a site licence before its installed. Do we need one? How do we acquire one if required? Thanks in advance - will post this in the AV and Multimedia/Network forums too. JT

That's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Thanks very much. I don't know what I'd do without Edugeek...

I've heard from various sources about some large corporations (City banks/trading firms, mostly) who re-condition their out-of-date desktop PCs and sell them on to schools. Does anyone know anything about this? I've been stuck with some god-awful jerry-built PCs from the last time we bought new equipment (a mate of one of the governors, it'll be cheaper, etc, etc), and we're having to consider some cheaper options to replace them sooner than planned. Anyone know anything? Had any experience of these schemes? Thanks in advance, cp_cp

Thanks, that's helpful. Who publishes it? Is it open source?

Hi, I'm new *waves* Was wondering if anyone knew a good piece of software for Graphic Modelling at Primary level - it's a hole in my school's software provision at the moment. Also, does anyone know a good 3-d modelling program for primary D&T?
