With Bett starting tomorrow I was reflecting on why people attend the event in their droves every single year – of course, the obvious answer is the networking, but often it’s more to do with the CPD, to learn about new technologies and to speak with the companies that produce…
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…
BETT week can be really quite gruelling, even on a day visit. I’ve been attending for many years and have the scars to prove it. Here are my 6 rules of BETT to help you at the show. One – Wear comfy clothes and shoes You will literally walk miles….
Alongside other presentations and keynotes at Bett Show this year, one of my sessions was in the School Leaders Summit which I punnily titled ‘Sort IT out’… Listening to @ICTEvangelist talking about sorting IT out (geddit?) @Bett_show pic.twitter.com/MS6Nv6LQqE — José Picardo (@josepicardoSHS) January 22, 2016 It was a presentation which…
First up, this isn’t a paid endorsement or anything like that. I don’t do those kind of things and if I did I’d tell you up front, a bit like I am now. I first met CV Plus creator, Harriet Churchward back in 2015 at a TES Labs event in…
I’m pleased to share my itinerary at #BETT16 with you. I’m involved in a number of different areas and am pleased to be involved in some ground-breaking activities too. BETT is always a tiring few days. Ian Addison wrote some great advice a few years ago and his advice still stands…
As someone who is pretty passionate about (purposeful) edtech and its potential to enhance learning, Google are one of only a few organisations that sit right at the heart of that passion. One of the things on my professional bucket list was to become a Google Certified Teacher. Alongside that, I’ve…
The TMTakeOvers were my first ever opportunity to present at Bett 5 or so years ago and for that I’ll always be very grateful. With that in mind, for me it was a real delight to catch up with their CEO Chris Bradford from BrainPOP UK on the BrainPOP stand and do another…
I love the Bett Show. When I first attended well over a decade ago I wasn’t that engaged. It was all companies trying to sell me things and it wasn’t really anything that was special for me. Nowadays it’s a completely different story… There are learn live theatres with seminars, discussion…

The discussion was wide and varied…
