iPads and Tablets
Many schools purchase iPads or tablet computers, but aren't aware of the advantages of having them managed through a central system. The technical name for this is Mobile Device Management (MDM) and the advantages to this are:
Installing apps on all devices in one go, and with just a few clicks
Locking down devices to prevent misuse - e.g. preventing students setting passcodes
Preventing students from installing their own apps
Setting up all devices to look identical so that students enjoy a consistent and familiar experience
Hiding or blocking apps that might be misued or distracting, such as FaceTime or Messages
Training
We provide most of our training face-to-face in school, but can also facilitate remote training on request. We offer a range of standard training packages, as well as the opportunity to work with schools to create bespoke training packages. We receive consistently positive feedback on our sessions and are passionate about the training we provide. Our packages all include follow-up materials to support your school, such as PowerPoints and narrated help videos.
A selection of the training packages that we offer includes:
Google Classroom
Google Drive cloud storage
iMovie - video editing on iPads
Book Creator - creating eBooks on iPads
An Introduction to iPads
An Introduction to Chromebooks
Scratch (computer programming)
Consultancy
We can work with the in school management team or BOM of your school to identify IT equipment nearing the end of it's life and draw up a strategic plan for its replacement. This allows you to budget effectively, achieve value for money and minimise downtime from faulty or unreliable equipment. We can also support you in curriculum planning and in creating a Digital Learning Plan.
Web Design
We will work with you to create a site that matches the branding and feel of your school. We ensure that our websites work effectively on a range of devices, including tablets and mobile phones. If required, we can keep your website up to date, with a range of service plans available for our customers.
