Solutions
Apple solutions are used widely in Primary Education because they are simple and intuitive. ICT in Mac based primary schools has been transformed with pupils producing videos, animations, digital images and music. The impact of Mobile Learning Labs means that any reasonable space can become an ICT room. Keeping up to speed with these changes in technology can be difficult. Total solutions tend to rely on other elements such as printers, graphic tablets, video cameras, music keyboards, external hard drives, even portable green screens for chroma keying (changing backgrounds in video scenes!). Toucan have the expertise to pull these solutions together.
In Secondary Education, Apple technology is often deployed in Art and Design, Music Technology and Media Studies departments. As schools and FE Colleges specialise to offer more vocational courses, it is important to provide solutions that reflect industry practice.
Toucan works with manufacturers to ensure solutions are complete and represent good value. Toucan supply departmental solutions for Apple based digital art studios, media suites, animation and podcasting toolkits as well as Music suites and 3D imaging solutions. We can take you to great reference sites and help you meet other practitioners to see how they work and what solutions they find to be most effective. Check out the Innovation and Case Studies sections for new technologies as they emerge and how they are being implemented.
Learning Resource Centres are also looking to use Apple technology as they offer centralised access for easy to manage video and presentation tools. As student projects are less likely to be paper based, research, collation and presentation of ideas need to be more flexible. All Apple computers offer easy to manage video, music/audio and digital image editing as well as web and DVD authoring. Apple creative solutions can help transform ICT support flexible and independent learning.
