ICT in Education
Education establishments are under increasing pressure to embed Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in to all aspects of their school. However, frequently schools neither have the time nor in-depth knowledge to understand what is possible and manage the rapid technology change.
Launch Concepts can assist by performing a strategic review of ICT provision in your school to fully understand your school's present situation, create an ICT vision tailored to your school and subsequently build a development plan to achieve your vision.
Specifically, Launch Concepts works in partnership with the your school's Senior Leader Team, ICT Co-ordinator and ICT support services to;
- Build a reliable and stable ICT platform for teaching and school management;
- Reduce the cost of ownership, using innovation in ICT; and,
- Deliver best value through existing supplier relationships and the appropriate specifcation of ICT equipment and services.
However, the help provided by Launch Concepts does not need to end at the development plan. Launch Concepts can manage the implementation of the development plan, leveraging existing relationships or partnerships to ensure that your school can quickly realise the benefits of the strategic review.
