Chris Drage (left) found plenty of inspiration at BETT 2009 and has a review wish list to work through
I still can’t believe it. For 25 years I have visited the annual BETT exhibition, and for every one of those years it has been deemed “the biggest one ever”. Dedicated follower of ICT fashion? No, I go to be inspired and to take my own knowledge and understanding of technology-assisted learning several steps forward.
This year Building Schools for the Future (BSF) was a major theme of BETT 2009 . After three-and-a-half days of foot slogging it became clear that the wise senior leadership teams were the ones that encouraged their staff to attend BETT 2009 as part of their professional development. Especially if their schools are to become academies in the near future as so many will.
