An Essential Release for Secondary Schools

Reflecting Logotron's long established commitment to helping teachers deliver and extend the curriculum, the release of SECONDARY ESSENTIALS marks a significant step in the advancement of software 'tools' in KS3-4. The essence of this product is to bring together on a single CD, four best-of-breed applications at an unbeatable price.

This should appeal to schools that are either investing in new PCs which need equipping with multi-purpose tools, or to those who find that their current software applications do not fully meet their needs. For the price of a couple of key titles, Secondary Schools can now enjoy the latest and best in the challenging areas of Monitoring & Control, Modelling, Data Handling, Datalogging, and even Multimedia and Web authoring.

On single pack prices alone, this collection represents savings in excess of £140. Multi-user licences offer even greater savings with extra user licences priced at £30 each. Thoughtfully, Logotron structures the licensing on simultaneous users only, regardless of how many computers the software is installed on.

Gerry Daish, Marketing Director at Logotron added: "Secondary Essentials builds upon the successes of previous compilations that have been so popular in the Primary phase. Quite simply, Secondary Essentials is the best value package we have ever offered to our customers; and if they want to check that it's not too good to be true, they only have to use our 30-day unconditional guarantee. We haven't had any returned so far!".

Secondary Essentials includes:-

Viewpoint- Delivering the data handling aspects of the National Curriculum, featuring tools to gather, collate, analyse and present information, Viewpoint is packed with 60 curriculum datafiles in 16 different subjects.

Insight 3- The definitive datalogging software reduces hardware requirements and eases classroom organisation/management. A powerful enhancement to Science experiments, Insight features an interactive teaching guide "Understanding Insight" and a range of tutorials designed to develop students' investigative skills.

Imagine Logo- A unique, cross-curricular package designed to integrate with and extend all areas of learning, Imagine Logo builds on the features of SuperLogo, adding multiple page projects, direct drive presentation tools, automatic animation, multimedia, speech input and output, web integration and even musical composition to the environment.

Control Insight- Featuring the 'Systems' approach to Monitoring and Control in D&T and IT, Control Insight offers motivational problem-solving opportunities for Secondary students. Using a number of free sample projects, or creating their own, learners simulate the real world with animated graphics and sound, then analyse problems and test solutions before connecting real models.
