Anyone know where I can find an easy database program for pupils inputting data for a maths task? I can just about use access - but not well enough to work on it with the kids!

hmm, I would be interested in that as well, tried Granada today but couldn't get that to work so ended up using excel, very difficult for the kids!

You could try Textease database or Junior Viewpoint. If you remember Junior pinpoint on the old archimedas, viewpoint is the updated version. How old are the children you want the dataase for?

Datasweet is an easy database for children. Again it started life as a program for the Archemedes.

I'm looking at P4-7, 9-12 year olds.

Datasweet looks good - then we could use it through the school , handy if rumours are right and we are going to be a one teacher school from P1-7 after summer!

That should be interesting! How many children and how many teachers do you have now?

That looks good - don't think we have the budget for it at the moment tho Sad

Don't have the cash for anything!! We were just making a simple graph the other day, nothing exciting!
I can't imagine working in such a small school jaydee (mind you where I am is getting smaller). How do you teach all the seperate year groups especially foundation and keystage 1?
