Dear Erik and Barbara:
I gather at least one of you is a school teacher! Have you seen the
"Teacher's Pet" option?
I don't know about Erik (who, by the way, is not subscribed to the
list), but I'm not a teacher. I have taught seniors at a local center to
use their computers, unfortunately before I encountered OOo. Mostly
they'd been given the computers by their "kids" and had no idea what to
do with them! I think there are a lot of things common to both those
kinds of students, in terms of creating fun stuff without a lot of fuss,
and if I ever get back into that I'll check out the kinds of things you
bring up here.
For kids, you can do a lot with that and Oo draw. I am trying something
myself to produce Christian depictions based on kids colouring pages (there
pages are generally not copyrighted.)
Eventually I have some ideas to make these depictions independent of the
colouring pages and give them dimensions that are not feasible on paper.
I have also used Oo Draw many times in presenting Toastmasters' speeches,
maintaining a freetoasthost website and more. I have also developed custom
colours and gradients.
Added to that there is the CADOo project which seems quite extensive for a
new project, although it does not do all Autocad does (and doesn't cost over
$5000 a seat either.)
I originally learned to do 3D mechanical drawing on a drafting board in the
60's and have followed this for the decades since, using it for both the
schematic and the mechanical/visual side of drawing in my career as an
industrial electronic technician.
Me too! I took Mechanical Drawing as an elective in high school in 1961
-- preferred it to Home Ec!
