Toucan Computing

Staying ahead of the latest developments in the fast-moving world of ICT is a challenge – but one that today’s schools and colleges must meet if they’re to give their students the best chance of success. With our years of experience in IT and in education, we can help you meet it.

Seesaw - the paperless wonder tool!

Many schools have had iPads for a while and enjoy the creativity and the engagement they bring to the primary classroom. Tracking and managing work, however, can be a challenge. Seesaw really provides answers to many of these challenges and is free to use.

iRobot

We are well into the school year and also coming to the point where many schools decide how their technology budgets are spent. If you already have your kit and a great wifi set-up, you could be looking beyond the iPad and Chromebook to engaging add-ons like robots.

Apple Classroom

As we upgrade, wipe and reset iPads this term, most of us will be using iOS 10.3. This means that Apple Classroom will be available. It’s a free and very useful utility for the classroom teacher…

A Year with iPad Pro

Can an iPad Pro serve as a single multi-purpose computer for a teacher, rather than relying on the Mac plus iPad combo? With leaner financial times cutting into school budgets ever deeper, could this be a viable option?

Access all areas!

For years, schools have had to buy additional accessibility software and hardware tools as an add-on to their choice of technology. Apple’s approach is, of course, very different.

Computing with iPad

Ever since the arrival of the National Curriculum subject ‘computing’ in 2014, figuring out how exactly to teach computer science and coding in a Primary school has become a hot issue.

Nosy Crow

We have been thrilled to have Nosy Crow present at several of our BETT VIP lunches, as Kate Wilson’s talks are always a huge success! We are delighted to share the story of Nosy Crow.

Coding with Swift - Apple Teacher Guides

Apple Teacher Guides to support coding with Swift are available on the iBook Store.
These Guides are designed to help you bring coding into the classroom, no matter what your level of experience.

Google Chromebook

Chromebooks improve teaching and learning by eliminating the distraction of technology challenges.

Trilby TV

Schools have invested heavily in digital technology and are creating content on a daily basis, so it makes sense to have some of this content being aired in the foyer for visitors and parents.

Toucan Computing aims to provide education institutions with honest IT advice and excellent service. We are passionate about superb technical support and inspiring training. We value fairness, diversity, long-term partnership and social responsibility.

Steven Connors

Executive Headteacher, Heronsgate Primary School

Thanks so much for sending Andy in today. He was an absolute trooper and slogged away all day at getting us back online. It didn’t take knowledge alone; a lot of creative thinking and determination was required. I was very impressed.

Tony Clayton

Head of Centre, The Constance Bridgeman Centre

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for your help with sorting out the iPads and setting them up. Gareth did a brilliant job with no fuss. I was really pleased and appreciated not being needed while teaching. I will be strongly recommending you to any other schools looking to get iPads.

Richard Woodham

Year 2 Class Teacher, Lordship Farm Primary School

Toucan is a great Mac company that we have been using since it started more than 20 years ago. Staff listen to your needs, treat you intelligently and provide great service. They're always prepared to go that extra mile. And, better still, they do it with a genuine smile.

Neil Levis

I have every confidence to say that working with Toucan and Julian everything is possible. It's really pleasing to see how with you guys (all of Toucan) our school is turning into a completely different technology led school. Well done to everyone.

Maria Slavovski

ICT Teacher, South Harringay School

Gareth did a fantastic job. We were both very impressed with what he did which has got us where we need to be with our iPads.

Simon Paine

Head, Southborough Primary School
