Nanotechnology – Small really is beautiful, Trying to keep up with the latest advances in technologies can be a daunting and never-ending quest, and it is often tempting to take stock and try to understand what we have, rather than chase the latest development or trend. In my house I’m last in line to inherit the hand-me-down phone or tablet and while I constantly urge myself to keep up with what’s next, I sometimes take refuge in what I’ve got and what works for me. Then I go and research some emerging...
Assistant Head at Beech Hill School, Gill Fitzpatrick, In this episode, we follow Gill's journey from church school, where her dad was the local vicar and knew 'everyone', through to training as a structural engineer, a job that Gill loved and thought she would work in for the rest of her working life. Listen here As a young graduate engineer with a degree in applied geology and engineering, Gill took the first tentative steps into the adult world, testing, monitoring and evaluating the structural integrity of concrete structures and piled...
Are you really teaching D&T?, Are you really teaching D&T? Or are children getting a poorly conceived, watered down version of the subject, asks Gareth Pimley, lead primary consultant for the Design and Technology Association… Egyptian shadufs and sarcophagi. Viking longboats and Greek vases. Replicas, reproductions and representations. Imitations, duplications and decorations. Form without function, products without a purpose, craft without a client. D&T dumbed down. Have you ever wondered whether the design and technology project you are teaching is, in fact, design
Health and Safety, Teaching Design and Technology presents both a challenging and an exciting experience, yet where teachers work needs to be a safe and secure environment.

D&T Summer School @ Loughborough Design School, After a crazy few months of planning, our exciting new D&T Summer School ran on the 11th & 12th July 2014 at Loughborough University Design School. Over 160 teachers attended from across the country, and from as far afield as Hong Kong. The event was very well received by all those involved including staff from the D&T Association and the very helpful and generous University staff. The feedback has been excellent. The workshop sessions provided some inspirational, practical and valuable D&T resources
GCSE and GCE Design and Technology developments: where are we?, There is no doubt about it, keeping up with the changes and possible implications for the future direction of design and technology (D&T) and related qualifications is challenging. The Awarding Organisations, the D&T Association and all those who provide the vital infrastructure that supports the subject are not to blame. Unfortunately, we are suffering from a system that has precious few experts in positions of influence and no experts employed by Government who can take on the role of the QCDA...
Showcasing your department virtually, How can we make sure that those who make important decisions about what we do understand the quality and range of work we are involved in? Ofsted After securing the best possible examination results each year, the most significant driver impacting on teaching and learning in school is achieving a ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ grade as a result of the Ofsted inspection. How we organise, manage and make provision for subjects in the school is scrutinised under a ‘Section 5’ inspection. Although D&T is not considered, or indeed reported...
