Welcome to all ICT DiDA and Applied ICT students

Hi all! I shall be using this blog to post teaching resources to support your ICT eportfolio work. I shall start by providing you with a list of application software that would be a good idea to have installed on your computers at home.

Open Source software (freely downloadable)

Freemind (Mind mapping software)
Open Workbench (Project management software)
Kompozer (Web page editor)
GIMP (image manipulation and graphics editing software)
Blender (animation software)

Proprietary software

Adobe Master Collection CS4
especially
Photoshop (image manipulation)
Illustrator (vector graphics editing software)
Dreamweaver (web page editor)
Flash (animation software)
Fireworks (graphics editing software)

Don't forget to keep your anti-virus software up-to-date!
Project work is always prone to getting lost. Make sure the most recent versions are saved in at least 3 locations all the time e.g. at home, at school and on an external HDD or memory stick.
