What is SpexWorld! School?
SpexWorld! School
is a fun and
rewarding way to grasp basic ICT and maths concepts in a practical
and familiar setting.
Have
lots of fun
planning and designing the rooms in a school. You can design and
furnish single or multiple room shapes or use Spex's simple room
planner to design a whole floor plan: classroom, IT Room, Gym
and changing rooms etc. Decide upon room sizes and a budget to spend and
see the
furniture and fittings on a simple spreadsheet.
|
|
|
When beginning to design a School, choose from a selection of simple
room shapes or use one of the ready made layouts with two or three
rooms. Some example room shapes are shown on this page.
Once the room layout has been planned it can be furnished by dragging
items of furniture into the rooms, rotating them and moving them around
until you are happy.
You can see your school
in the plan view and in 3D view and in perspective or orthographic
views, and you can walk around inside your virtual school.

There's even a Floor Layout Planner
to design a House with all the
different rooms that you need. |
|
|
Once the room shape and dimensions have been chosen you
can start placing the furniture. All the furniture can be
moved around and rotated and you can display the 3D and Plan Views at
any time.

Budget, Graphs and Spreadsheet
SpexWorld! School
has a budget facility
and a simple spreadsheet to help pupils learn about budgeting, handling
and managing money. Change the prices and see how this affects the
spreadsheet. Pupils also become familiar with shapes, space and
dimensions, proportion and symmetry as they design and furnish different
shaped rooms.
There are graphs and charts including 2D and 3D bar graphs, line graph
and a pie chart which display the items and costs. Toggle between the
Orthographic and Perspective views of your school plan design and walk
around it to see what it feels like for real!
Design your school to a budget and see the effects of
using different items and prices in the graphs and spreadsheet. |
