What is BETT?

BETT
 
The Bett show is the world's leading technology event and took place in London January 2015. The event hosts the worlds most innovative technology which has inspired education for over 30 years. Highlighted in Bett are summits which include providing school leaders of ways to adapt to the ever evolving education space and also there is a summit of Higher Education specialist to share their new ideas.
 
I2i Events state, "Across five theatres, the Learn Live series will immerse visitors in teaching techniques, learning strategies and implementing technology, through seminars, workshops and demonstrations."

Exhibitors are given the chance to display their work to educators worldwide opening a platform for growth and success. Exhibitors will have many benefits as a result of advertising their ideas at Bett including; immediate feedback from peers; the work will be published on the website which attracts over 470,000 readers; open new market opportunities and also the chance to be alongside the world's leading players such as Google and Samsung.

For me, events such as Bett are needed regular as the World struggles to keep up with the constant changes in demand. Educators must be aware of the growth in technology and the impact that it can have on a child or in some cases on adult's learning experiences. Bett doesn't only work by presentations and exhibitors are given numerous ways to highlight your idea.
 
Bett are already opening offers to stands at the 2016 Exhibition and no doubt the event is continuing to attract a wide range of institutes.



ICT has played a key role in my education growing up and I have seen the rapid advancement in applications from primary school to my current position in University. An ICT rich environment allows learners to get to grips with current technology allowing room for exploration and use of own ideas. ICT can also produce a wide range of results leading to students being able to collaborate and discuss what they have found. Many students will find the use of IT a far more engaging way of learning as they are constantly involved in the learning experience. If the children are giving the choice to create their own learning and options to explore they will enjoy their education. Inevitably, the use of technology may lead to increased decision making for learners and can enhance learning opportunities as a result of learning by doing.

Who knows what technology we will be using to learn in 10 years time!!!
