Some netgear routers have Live Parental Controls (LPC) built in. This uses the OpenDNS filtering castes but lets you have timed filters, bypass login etc. There are apps for most devices now so you don't need a desktop machine or server to run it.

PTC used to only release a site license for Creo once teachers had completed accredited training, does anyone know if this is still the case? I can't find reference to it on their website.

What source are you using? If your using a PC you could drop in a graphics card with a HDMI output or if you don't need the TV function, then Daves suggestion of using a large monitor may be better and cheaper.

Not many main brands have PC input on budget models. You could buy an HDMI-VGA adaptor VGA to HDMI Convertor with Audio Support : HDMI Switches : Maplin Electronics (You could probably find one cheaper than Maplin.) Then you could get a basic 50inch Panasonic plasma for £400 (inc Vat)... Panasonic VIERA TXP50X60B | 50 inch Plasma TV HD Ready Freeview HD | Richer Sounds

Anyone seen a demo of these new touch screens? Touchscreen ProMultis | Dual Touchscreen | Large Multi Touch Looks similar to Clevertouch, Ctouch etc. Prices look very good for the IR versions. Easiteach and a suite of multi-touch apps are bundled. http://www.promultis.info/wp-content/uploads/PDF/ProMultis%20Price%20List%202013.pdf I like the sound of the USB plugin that lets it run Android apps also, although I guess there may be cheaper ways of doing this.

Not a heat map as such but I use WiFi Analyzer on my Android to test our wireless networks. Also found WiFi Heat but not sure if exports a heat map image for use in a report etc.

https://www.syscloud.com/google-apps-backup/ might be cheaper...worth contacting to check the Edu price.

Following Autodesk's model of giving it away would be nice, not that I think it will happen. There are free or cheap alternatives however persuading staff to use them is another matter. A lot of CS5/6 can be replicated with things like Inkscape/Blender/Paint.net/GIMPshop/Lightworks however the learning curve with some is arguably steeper and you can argue they aren't 'industry standard', although some do get used in professional situations (often where small businesses can't afford Adobe!) What frustrates me is schools outlaying £10k for Master Collection then hardly using it. I'd like to see very cheap or free versions of Photoshop Elements/Premiere Elements for KS3/4, and heavily discounted versions of CS6/CC for KS5 and FE.

Just tested it, your right, removing the code seems to have stopped working, Google must have tweaked something. I've found a new work around, just change 'version=3' to 'version=2' on both occurrences in the code. Should work. I noticed that 'use old code' is not an option on some videos so they may be phasing it out.

The very cheapest ones available tend to have quite fragile bands that break quickly. We've used these Logitech ones in the past which are a bit more but last longer. Still virtually disposable price and the volume control can be handy. Logitech OEM/Dialog-220 Headphone PC Stereo 3.5mm (980177-0000) - www.misco.co.uk

Plenty here... Best Free Duplicate File Detector I've used Duplicate Cleaner - Find Duplicate Files with good results.

I've been contacted by Matt Bell who is leading on it for Autodesk UK. They haven't officially launched the offer yet, I guess they will publicize it more when they do, although they are leaving it late for roll outs over this summer. However resellers shouldn't have been selling UK schools education licenses since July 2012, when the offer actually started (if you were in the know)
