I am a teacher of design technology and now feel it's time to give back a little to help all teachers out there.
Most resources are based around resistant materials but having taught all areas within technology some resources can be easily transferred to all areas and even other subject.

PowerPoints I use within lessons for a year 8 woodwork project where pupils are able to choose between making a hexagon box from MDF or a rectangle box from pine. This is the PowerPoints only for the unit of work.
Year 7 plastics maze project lesson PowerPoints only. These PowerPoints guide you through the design process to make a maze on the laser cutter. This does not show you how to use the laser cutter or 2D Design but has lesson objectives and tasks for pupils to complete.
Risk assessments that I produced for the workshop equipment that I have displayed next to the relevant machine or cupboard. Visual display to help make pupils think before using equipment and machinery during practical lessons.
A step by step booklet that includes the whole process of making a hexagon box. The resource includes images and text to show pupils the correct way to produce the product.
The resource was designed to help differentiate during practical lessons after a demonstration allowing those who were capable to move forward at their own pace. The images are there for a visual reminder to pupils on techniques or tools used at each step for those who struggle to retain knowledge after demonstrations.

A year 8 project that includes a full scheme of learning, booklet and PowerPoints for the entire project. The project is an introduction to the whole design process where pupils have the choice of making either a hexagon box from MDF or a rectangle box from pine. Pupils design for a client originally basing their designs around their likes and customise the box accordingly by making and decorating items for it.
A project that uses the new national curriculum levels.
A year 7 project that includes a full scheme of learning, booklet and PowerPoints for the entire project. The project is an introduction to the whole design process where pupils design and make a hand held game. The maze is cut on a laser cutter and made from three layers. This can either be three layers of acrylic or two layers of MDF and one layer of acrylic to help keep costs down.

PowerPoints for food practical lessons that include ingredients list, lesson objectives and step by step worksheet. These practical lessons are swapped around depending upon the ability of the class at the time.
A series of revision lessons for GCSE AQA Resistant Materials. The lessons work through everything that students need to revise in order to pass the exam. There are also task sheets that students use in order to take revision notes for most of the lessons, which becomes their personal revision notes to revise from at home. Finally there are PowerPoints that go through the 2014 exam paper giving model answers to help students gain maximum marks when they come to sit the exam paper.
A PowerPoint presentation for the WJEC Constructing the Built Environment Unit 3 specification GCSE. Within the resource there is a large amount of content that follows the specification requirements along with some example practice questions for students.
The resource also includes a practice assignment which we use in lessons with pupils still even though this has now changed to be an exam. We have decided to continue the assignment to help assess students assignment writing abilities for other areas that we deliver for GCSE, and also to help pupils summerise the content delivered through the PowerPoint.
WJEC Designing The Built Environment (DBE3) PowerPoint resource to help deliver the content within lessons. Covers all content from the specification as set by WJEC.
There are also four practice tasks to help students practice the written elements before their assignment is handed out to them. This helps students to bring together the content learned in lessons and helps to assess where they are after content delivery. We use these to help students plan out their time efficiently before the assignment so they have had a dry run through of it.
