                  Wordsearch Designer





                   The Focus Wordsearch Designer is
                   an effective way of reinforcing
                   technical vocabulary in D&T. Use

                   tasks, for revision or homework.

                   Teachers and students can design,
                   save, and print wordsearches from
                   within the app or solve them
                   on-screen.

                   Teacher created wordsearches can
                   be viewed and completed by all
                   students from within the main
                   index.
                   Student created wordsearches can
                   be saved, viewed and printed but
                   not added to the main index.
                                                          Topic Areas:
