Developing a 21st Century ICT strategy takes time and is an iterative process. Here at Toucan we are good listeners. We will work closely with you to find the best strategy for your school. Toucan can advise you as to the tools and workflows that enable ICT to underpin learning. This could be your first Mac or a complete school roll out of blended technologies. Toucan work collaboratively on both small and large-scale projects. We are the preferred Apple BSF and Academy partner for both Ramesys and CSE and work closely with other providers such as RM.
Having ICT suites of computers hardwired and in a regimented layout can be appropriate for some lessons, but for many activities the solution needs to be more flexible and accessible not only in school, but at home and often in-between.
The devices that young people use to create, access and share information are constantly evolving and finding the best combination of these tools for a school can be challenging. Smart schools are deploying a range of desktops, laptops and handheld devices. Progressive schools are encouraging students to choose the right tool for the right activity. Apple give you the best of both Mac and PC worlds as all Macs run the Windows operating system as well as Apple’s OSX. A class set of Macs could be running as Macs for one lesson and as PCs for the next!
We know Macs are easy to use, but the setting up of suites of static and mobile Macs across a school requires knowledge and experience. We supply and support some of the largest Mac based Education institutions in the country.
