Essential Tools 2 - The next generation
Following the success of Logotron's widely acclaimed ESSENTIAL TOOLS compilation,
which seemed to set the standard for a host of copycat products, the newly
independent Logotron Ltd has wasted no time in collaborating with Softease
in creating the 'next generation' package - ESSENTIAL TOOLS 2 for PRIMARY
ICT CAPABILITY.
The aim of Essential Tools 2 is quite simply to provide the latest and
best software available on the market for developing ICT capability in
the classroom. The component products are:-
- Imagine Logo - for Logo problem solving, multimedia authoring and much
more...
- Textease 2000 - THE wordprocessor of choice - click anywhere and type
- Junior Viewpoint - for point and click data handling
- Flying Colours - flexible graphics package for all abilities
- Textease Spreadsheet - easy to use, yet powerful numeracy tool
which is £301 worth of software for £149!
Gerry Daish, Head of Logotron's Sales & Marketing, said "The
take up of the original Essential Tools exceeded our expectations and
obviously hit the right spot for our customers at the right time. Now
what we've done is to take the current 'best of breed' applications and
bring them together at the same price as before. It's possible to get
cheaper solutions if you're prepared to compromise on quality, but the
value-for-money in Essential Tools 2 is unbeatable!"
Danny Young, Managing Director of Softease added "We are delighted
to be working with Logotron again on the Essential Tools idea. We always
aim to give our customers what they want and to give them the best. Essential
Tools 2 fits the bill on both counts."
