ICT In Education

Overview

Typetec has a long history of working with second and third level education institutions and that experience has given us a valuable insight into the issues facing educators today. We can assist your school to utilise ICT for curriculum delivery across the subject range. Our Education Technologist can work with your school to create teaching tools and to develop an ICT strategy that can transform learning within your school. For nearly 15 years we have been delivering one to one laptop programmes to the Irish education community and are the leader in this field.

We can answer the following questions for you:

How do you use ICT to engage students to achieve maximum results?

How do you optimise your spend?

How do you know your investment is getting the results you want?

We understand that a school is a different environment than a commercial business enterprise and therefore needs IT support in a number of different ways. The relationships we have built with our existing customers within the sector have been built in true partnership approach. Existing customers include the following:
