witch Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 As some of you may know, I am leaving educational IT at half term. I am currently sorting out my office and I am wondering what to do with the shelf of BETT toys. Nobody really wants soft toys anymore, do they? I do have a little Ruckus dog which I shall be keeping, but I have a load of plastic cats, bees, toucans, owls, fish alongside soft cats, teddies etc Even my grandson, not quite 5 months, has alreadygot a load of soft toys and I don't think my son would thank me for giving him any more!
DJ-1701 Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 I am sure there are quite a few of us that would be interested to hear if you plan on giving away anything in particular. Don't forget, it's not only a BETT toy, but also previous owned by the famous Witch.
Kitkatninja Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Wow, where are you going? Will you also be leaving Edugeek?
DJ-1701 Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Wow, where are you going? Will you also be leaving Edugeek? Does anyone truly leave this place? I believe the clue might be here... http://www.edugeek.net/forums/general-chat/217070-did-i-help-you-get-new-job.html 1

Superglue them around the school in random places/classrooms so when they find them they are reminded of you! Or turn them all into living creatures to roam round the school attacking selected people?
mikeprice Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Or turn them all into living creatures to roam round the school attacking selected people? That's a bit nasty be more helpful and have them wander around the school asking people if they need any help with IT problems if they say 'yes' they can respond with 'Have you turned it off and on again' or alternatively 'All you need to do is log the problem and the support people will be along in a week or two' (that was the case when I left my last school) 1
AJWhite1970 Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Celcat - geesh that brings back some memories!!!! Just asked Kris if she wants any of the soft toys for her students, I'll let you know 1

River Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 I'd love the bee please! Happy to pay for postage
Scifigirl Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Hand them out to teachers and say they have been imbued with your IT Aura and will scare away future IT problems if they keep them by the PC (it works fine now your here!)
GrumbleDook Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 And how many of us went to look at our own collection to compare? 1
mikeprice Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 most of mine have been played with by grandkids by played with - I mean destroyed
DrBeaker Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Soft toys now gone to himself above All plastic squishy toys available!Oh man the pig's cool. What is he? Who's the owl? I'd be interested in them.
Andrew_C Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Owls... I know it is OT, but this is (I think) the only place owls have been mentioned. I've been on the planet nearly 60 years, and it never once occurred to me. 1
witch Posted October 17, 2020 Author Posted October 17, 2020 Oh man the pig's cool. What is he? Who's the owl? I'd be interested in them. I'll have a look when I am back in on Monday 1
DrBeaker Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 I'll have a look when I am back in on Monday I only ever got to got to BETT once . Spent half the day travelling, 2x hours there then back home. Seemed a bit pointless and a waste of time the way they handled it.
