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."

Background Notes:-

Logotron Software Ltd formed in Cambridge in 1982. It has grown to be one of the most respected and consistently successful publishers of creative and constructivist educational software for schools. Logotron has consistently been the UK's most innovative developer of educational software. With strong research links with MIT and Stanford Universities in the US, and Microsoft Research in Europe, Logotron is today launching Imagine Logo, the world's first educational tool with integrated adaptive speech technology, tailored especially for network use.

On 1st January 2001, after 11 years of ownership by Pearson plc, Logotron was bought out by its management team and is now the largest privately held educational software company in Europe, developing software and training products under both the Logotron and Cambridge Software Publishing brands.
