NetSupport FREE Resources
At NetSupport, we believe technology is a force for good in the education sector.
But it’s not all about that: we believe in supporting the professionals who work within education too. So with that in mind, we curate, create and co-create lots of different types of content to support and assist.
Our team consists of a number of people from education, such as former Primary teacher and now Product Manager, Kat Cauchi; our Head of Education, Mark Anderson; and our CEO, Al Kingsley who, alongside his role at NetSupport, also chairs a number of multi-academy trusts as well as supporting others. He is also a member of the Regional School Commissioner’s Board.
With that in mind, we have a number of helpful resources we’ve created over the years. From our popular guides to our monthly #CheckItOutShow, #TipTopTipsEdu, infographics and more, we thought it would be really helpful to have a landing page that places all of these resources into one handy space.
The resources are organised by type and available for you to access – for free!
