Soldato
I have been at my current school for nearly 5 years and for all of those 5 years I've had to use Word to edit a document of the school layout and which tutor groups and subjects are taught in each classroom etc. Obviously this is a rather poor way of making a layout map but it is the system that I inherited. It is something I've wanted to change for a while now and could have done since August 2013 when I took over as IT manager.
Part of the reason that I am looking for a proper system for this is that we are having a new building, er, built, and it will be our first two storey building so I'll need to somehow map that.
I know that Visio would be good for this but we wouldn't have the money for this. Are there any programs that are free that I could use to develop a new layout map of the school? If there is something that would cost less than £100 or so I might be able to persuade the boss that a) Word isn't suitable now, b) Word won't be suitable for the new building two storey layout and c) we need a proper program to do this so I'm not spending ages changing the layouts.
