Headstart is an exciting educational software specially designed for primary school and KS2. It offers multimedia features without requiring any additional skills, making it an ideal tool for creating engaging presentations.
If you're looking for dedicated educational multimedia software for primary school and KS2, Headstart is a solid choice. This software is more exciting than your average slideshow or presentation software, but the best part is that it requires no additional skills. Whether you're a seasoned tech user or a complete beginner, you can easily animate text and graphics and incorporate digital images, sound, music, or video.
One of the standout features of Headstart is that it doesn't just allow you to create multimedia presentations - it also lets you create multimedia internet sites, screensavers, and simple games. This versatility makes it ideal for fulfilling ICT requirements at the end of KS2, but it can also be incredibly effective for facilitating highly engaging cross-curriculum projects.
Headstart includes all the functionality of Opus Creator, our commercial product, but with dedicated resources and samples. We've also tweaked the interface to make it less daunting for educators, without being condescending or oversimplified. This means that teachers can use it to create or modify their own resources for individuals or whole-school objectives, and it's particularly suited to special needs requirements and the encouragement of higher achievers.
But perhaps the best aspect of Headstart is its ability to facilitate teacher-student communication. Teachers and mentors can make comments directly on pupils' work on the screen, or email projects for comments by colleagues. This fosters a collaborative and supportive environment that encourages students to take ownership of their learning and explore their creativity. Overall, if you're looking for an easy-to-use, versatile, and effective educational multimedia software, Headstart is definitely worth considering.
