TimeŽ
education already operates as a technical and intellectual partner
with schools, colleges, universities, LEAs and advisory staff.
Our educational team has wide experience - as teachers, senior
advisory staff and managers of community based ICT projects. The
team is well practiced in delivering high quality support with
a genuine commitment to using technology as a vehicle to raise
standards in education.
Time
education is committed to providing the education establishment
with high specification systems at low cost. Our technology is
used widely in industry, commerce and the home. We consider it
important that the education community should not be committed
to proprietary systems but have maximum flexibility to choose
additional software and hardware, as required, from a range of
vendors. We provide a range of ICT solutions using proven educational
software designed to raise achievement across a range of National
Curriculum areas.
Time
education recognises the importance of training and through its
education advisers already provides this service for schools in
the form of one-to-one consultations, small group meetings and
full INSET session.
Time
education systems are reliable, allowing teachers to maximise
teaching potential. Further, they are manageable, with desktop
programs to give ease-of-access to curriculum software whilst
protecting valuable resources and ensuring that the teachers are
in control.
Time
education considers that all children should have access to the
most appropriate sources of information available for them and
that the information should be provided in stimulating and challenging
formats.
We
recognise the specific requirements of schools connecting to the
grid. In particular, we understand the need for secure connections
that will prevent pupils accessing unsuitable material either
on the Internet or the World Wide Web. We provide solutions to
achieve the level of security required.
With
the massive growth in ICT systems used in the home over recent
years, pupils and teaching staff now regularly use similar technology
out of school hours. Time education recognises learning through
the "whole curriculum" and believes that the interaction
of ICT as a learning tool, used both at school and at home, as
envisaged in the consultation paper "Connecting the Learning
society", is already starting to happen.
When
you buy, or lease, from Time education, we commit ourselves to
supporting your equipment. Warranty repairs are carried out on
site by our own engineers and you are able to obtain free telephone
support via the education hotline which is open from 8.30am to
5.30pm every working day and staffed by technicians who understand
the needs of education customers.
