Not sure where I found this software, but it allows the student to design all sorts of catapults. A catapult is a project that many students learn to design in technology class. They learn forces, distances, lever arm, etc.
Here is an excellent example of a students ability to solve a "real world problem" using technology.

Inspiration
Inspiration is an organizational software students can use to make organized presentations. Inspiration alows the student to make a "organizational chart" of ideas and links. The student can add pictures to the presentation and hyperliks to web sites along the way.
Students have available to the an asssortment of boxes, shapes, pictures, clip art, and arrows to use. The software is very flexable.
The student, once finished with his / her chart can produce an outline in which they can follow to write a paper and keep the paper organized.
Inspiration files are saves as".isp" and cannot be imported into this blog for display or example.

Circuit Maker
Circuit Maker is a electronic schematic software that the students can use to make schematics of circuits, and also run simulations before he has to fabricate his curcits. By running a simulation, the student can make changes that correct circuit operation. The student can assure the circuit operates the way he wants before he fabricates a printed circuit board and finds problems.
I have used Circuit Maker to just make professional looking schematics to insert into lesson plans for my electronics class in technology.

Autodesk Inventor
Autodesk Inventor is a parametric modeling program students can use to develop ideas, as you would use in a Technology Drafting Class.
The difference with Inventor is that Inventor lets the student work on small solid objects and systematically remove material in space until he has the desired shape or object.
The software also allows the student, once he has completed his object, print a complete set of mechanical drawings.
I've been trying to insert a picture, but the formats don't match and it will not insert.

Microsoft Front Page
Microsoft Front Page is a WEB publication software. It typically runs on an IBM running 2000, ME, XP or Vista. Front page lets the user develop a web site and eliminates the need to write HTML code. Front page has a vast assortment of formats and backgrounds for the user to use. It also allows the user to format using imported images.
Front page also keeps track of all the images and links so when you upload all the information to your server, all images sounds, etc. are uploaded without any broken linke.
A studnet can be up and running with a web site in minutes using Front Page without the fustrations of having to keep track of everything and not having success.
