BETT show</h1> <article> <h1>BETT show</h1> <p>Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:48:54 +0000</p> <p>Well, today I visited the BETT show at Excel in London and, as a result, today I joined EduGeek.</p><p> I wonder what other BETT show visitors made of it?</p><p> </p><p> I made a beeline for and particularly enjoyed the event 'Technology and How We Learn' where Armand D'Angour, Bette Chambers and Susan Greenfield gave us their take on what 'educational software/programming' ought to be aiming for. Highly though provoking.</p><p> Brave and outspoken, I particularly enjoyed Bette Chambers (Uni York and Johns Hopkins) urging us delegates to ask of the tech gizmo exhibitors - what proof do you have that your product actually makes a positive difference to learning? </p><p> </p><p> She added that investment in marketing will yield more remunerative payback than investment in robust scientific investigation.... How sad and how true.</p> </article> </main></body></html>
