Garden Designs

We produced some super designs yesterday in ICT. Have a look at the examples below. What features do you think work well?

 

Garden Designer

Use this garden design site to create your own garden design.  Choose the area of outside space you have and see what you can create.  See whether you can produce an inspiring design including a pond, path, vegetables and other plants.

What advantages does this site have over other garden design methods? Is it better than Word? Why?

Olympic Education Centre

 

Our next task in our graphical modelling task is to develop plans for the Olympic Education Centre. The image to the side is a model of the proposed design, but what will the classrooms look like? Use the Homestyler site to have a go at creating classroom for this exciting project. How does this site rate in your eyes? What works well? How is this kind of software better than a paper and pencil?

 

Our Garden Designs

Have a look at our designs for a reworked school garden. What do you think? What have we done well? How could they be improved?
