My review of #BETT2019

By Mark Anderson Conferences, CPD No Comments

I will say from the outset that I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 days at #BETT2019 this year. The key thing about the trade show this year that stood out in particular for me was that it was all about the teachers and the people who made the (often) huge effort…

I'll pre-empt this post by saying, every school that I visit is special. I am very fortunate to have the job I have. Last week was one of the most amazing weeks of my career when I got to travel across the UK to visit schools on the Edtech 50…
