WIKISPACES - PART OF TES IS SAYING FAREWELL DUE TO A LACK OF FUNDING AND INVESTMENT FOR TECHNOLOGICAL UPDATES ETC AND THEREFORE THIS SITE AND ITS ASSOCIATED SITES WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE FROM JULY 31ST 2018. AS OWNER OF THESES SITES I AM HOPING TO TRANSFER THEM TO ANOTHER PLATFORM BUT AS IT IS OVER 800 PAGES THIS MAY TAKE A WHILE. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT AFTER 12 YEARS ONE OF THE WORLD RENOWNED EDUCATION NEWS ORGANISATIONS HAS DECIDED TO END THIS SERVICE AFTER IT BOUGHT IT IN 2014! Latest Controlled Assessment Task for textiles has been updates to this Wikispaces - click on the link below or GCSE Textiles Technology in the menu to find all the latest information: =Star YouTube Video = media type="youtube" key="XeEgcS6LejM" width="560" height="315"

For all those people who have asked to become members I do apologies, however I shall be adding discussion forums and surveys in the coming academic year to encourage some participation and collaborative dialogue. This site evolves each year - and as of August 2011 we switched our GCSE courses from EDEXCEL to AQA - I shall continue to update content and add to it but I shall leave EDEXCEL pathway open to students and teachers who continue to teach this syllabus and copy and update the material to suit AQA on a second pathway - so during late July 2013. **//Ms Czirok - Applied Learning Coordinator, Sha Tin College.//** Click the menu to find your lessons, most are the presentations shown during the lessons, which gives you the opportunity to go over the lesson once again, and to use the active links for further research.
 * Thank for using this site ** - When this site started in October 2007 I decided it was an information only site for my students and we continue within the Design Technology department at Sha Tin College to use this as our primary teaching tool until recently with the introduction of Moodle in our school. I am now returning to using Wikispaces as my own teaching platform, particularly with the introduction of Textiles Technology.

APPs & URLs for suitable for Design Technology students:
