Windows 7 educational applications

We've taken advantage of Windows 7's touch capabilities and built educational applications that respond to touch! They're ready right now, waiting for you to install them on to any Windows 7 based machine and respond to your touch. If you don't have a touch screen don't worry, they can be used just like a regular Windows application - with a mouse.

Not just a mouse though, multiple mice! We've used Microsoft Multipoint to allow multiple mice to be plugged into a single Windows PC, creating cursors for each mouse. This allows multiple students to play and learn simultaniously on the one machine! Contact us for more information on this amazing technology.

Creative, competitive, and collaborative

The nsquared education applications are designed to focus on the development of numeracy and literacy skills, and creative skill development. The social nature of a tablet device encourages collaboration and sharing even in competitive game situations. Each of the different applications is customisable with the unique nsquared teacher tool, providing plenty of options for students and teachers alike.

Game-Based Learning

The nsquared education pack is the fun way to learn. Students become quickly immersed in the activities and don't even realise that they are learning. Whilst the games are essentially competitive, they encourage collaboration, cooperation and sharing. In the classroom situation we've also seen them inspire leadership.

Content Packs

nsquared numbers

A free-form application that can be used to teach basic mathematical concepts. How many ways can your students make the sum of ‘7’, or ‘48’, or any other number you’d like to explore? How many ways can they create those same results by using only addition and division as operators? Great for small group learning.
