BETT 2010

The BETT show is the world's largest technology in education gathering. Bringing together almost 700 exhibitors under one roof at Kensington Olympia in London (13-16 January 2010), it is a prime opportunity for us to explore the latest technologies for teaching and learning and test them out before we buy. Please read more to find further details on some of the products that we feel you may be interested in.

The BETT show was first launched as the “Hi Technology and Computers in Education Exhibition” in January 1985. It changed its name to BETT (British Education and Training Technology) a couple of years after that. In recent years the individual words that make up the BETT acronym have been dropped, and the event is now simply known as BETT.A small number of the CLC's staff visited BETT 2010 at Londons Kensington Olympia in January 2010, over the next few weeks (once we have recovered from all the walking) we will be advising you of some of the interesting products that we came across during our time at BETT. They also attended various seminars relating to teaching and learning, open source software and BSF, we shall be disseminating some of this information to you in the near future.
