The powerpoint could be used as a stand alone resource and the teacher could quite easily project the contents onto a whiteboard. I teach A level Product Design and have done just that. Furthermore, the resource could be downloaded and included on your department or school's VLE, saved in your shared or student user areas or if your printing budget allows, the entire resource could be printed to create a very useful supplement to your students revision. Why do I like it? Firstly the powerpoint is well presented, I feel that this makes a difference, a well presented resource adds some value or gravitas to its contents. I like the fact that key examples, along with photographs, are supplied. This in turn makes my job easier in that I do not have to waste precious time either explaining a process or trying to find examples within the workshop or on the internet. The facts are well presented in a systematic way but without excess text, it is as if the whole powerpoint has been condensed and bullet pointed to simply illustrate the most important information. This particular feature makes this resource a firm favourite with my A level students and saves them time.

Very Thorough. Really good but not sure I'llbe able to spin through it in one lesson!

Quality information. Well presented information that can be used 'straight out of the box'.
