National Strategies for Design and Technology
Accommodation for design and technology
Planning
Design and Technology is a single subject involving a variety of activities that require a range of specialist facilities. In a new building, therefore, Design and Technology spaces should be grouped together, allowing pupils to make maximum use of a range of facilities and strengthening departmental identity. Ideally, the Design and Technology suite should be on the ground floor with easy access for the delivery of materials. It is also useful to locate the department near to others with which there may be links (for example, electronics facilities may be shared with the science area, and there are often strong links with the art and design department too).

Music
The importance of Music
Music is a unique form of communication that can change the way pupils feel, think and act. Music forms part of an individual’s identity and positive interaction with music can develop pupils’ competence as learners and increase their self-esteem. Music brings together intellect and feeling and enables personal expression, reflection and emotional development. As an integral part of culture, past and present, music helps pupils understand themselves, relate to others and develop their cultural understanding, forging important links between home, school and the wider world.

HTML help
Text boxes in the new NAAIDT Online will automatically create web or email links and certain HTML tags can also be used to enhance the presentation of an article.
The new NAAIDT Online CMS defaults to enable web pages to be produced by typing directly into the WYSIWYG text boxes. The required HTML code is then generated automatically. More experienced contributors, however, may wish to choose the Raw HTML option and control the code themselves.
Always check the HTML code you produce by using the Validate HTML link provided and make any corrections indicated before posting
