Popular Post russdev Posted July 16, 2009 Popular Post Posted July 16, 2009 Deliberate, debate and discuss at BETT 2010 BETT returns to London Olympia in January 2010 with even more content than ever before. BETT will offer educators the opportunity to join the debate with key sector stakeholders. Visitors are invited to air their views during BESA’s keynote seminar led by renowned education journalist, Merlin John. Joined by Prof. Stephen Heppell, Prof. Angela McFarlane, award-winning teacher, Tim Rylands and RM CEO, Terry Sweeney, discussions around pertinent sector issues are expected to be lively, controversial but ultimately constructive. Everyone is welcome to be a part of this spirited session however pre registration is highly recommended. Ray Barker, director, BESA explains the decision for this new feature at BETT 2010; “We are currently experiencing massive changes in the sector which drives the need to understand people’s future thinking and then feed this back to the industry. Every year BETT continues to thrive because it evolves in line with current sector issues. It is this appreciation of educator’s thoughts that enable the industry to keep in line with sector requirements.” Richard Joslin, exhibitions director at Emap Connect continues; “There are few opportunities for educators to openly express their views and voice their opinions to key sector stakeholders with the knowledge that it will be fed back to the industry. As the largest and most successful ICT in education event in the world, BETT is the ideal place to bring teachers and the industry together. We are very excited about this new feature of BETT.” Visitors can now register for their free pass to BETT 2010, with registration for seminars available from the autumn. BETT is the world’s largest technology in education show that runs from Wednesday 13 to Saturday 16 January at Olympia, London. They can do so quickly and easily online at BETT 2010 - Welcome to BETT online. 7

tom_newton Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 AAAAaaaaaaaaargh, it is still in that jumped up trashcan olympia. Tony Grumbledook will tell you - Earl's court (new home of Infosec) is a whole lot better. Still, I am looking forward to it. We will be back again of course, with more cunning plans and fun tricks than ever before - hopefully I can make the whole week this time.
localzuk Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Hmm... that's only 6 months away, enough time for me to learn to drive?
ninjabeaver Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I had a cracking time last year with my fellow West Norfolk NM's and Tech's in tow. Looking forward to the same this year. Killer feet again though, but more freebies...... And Securus, ABTutor, Samsung, Smoothwall and Bluepoint all did well out of it, and Ruckus will be soon as well.

GrumbleDook Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I shall put my leave slip in now to make it for a change! You just know that Andy will have you doing an install in Devon that week!
GrumbleDook Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I'll be down on the stand for *1* day ... and I am not telling anyone which day (not even DB) so no-one can get me to do anything other than give out helpful information ("Hit it with a larger hammer!") I will be down for the full week but actually getting to see things, get to seminars, try out lots of toys ... but I might visit around lunch time ... just in case there is any spare Pizza!
russdev Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 All bett enquires care of grumbledook@.... no dam we were hoping he hadn't noticed all bett stuff going his way oh well looks like chris has got to sort it Russ
kmount Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 You just know that Andy will have you doing an install in Devon that week! Don't give him any ideas....
john Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 You just know that Andy will have you doing an install in Devon that week! That's mean, I think Cutter should be at Bett with Edugeek, so send Kim to be on the stand all week, with Cutter being such a good firm and so helpful they would be a great asset and with the S7000 range of kit I know that will fly off the shelves with there support and offerings. I know it got some interest from colleagues in my area when I discussed it with them recently.
elloyd69 Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Just registered..........will be my first time (so to speak!). Did anyone else notice the appalling spelling............???
Edu-IT Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Just got the email through and registered. Hopefully I can attend!
mb2k01 Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Last year was my first time and ended up making the long journey from Cornwall (although I actually flew!) alone. This year I'll be attending and bringing our Headteacher which should be fun (part sarcasm / part serious!) How about we all agree to wear edugeek namebadges inside the venue so we can spot eachother?!
GrumbleDook Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 No doubt the infamous EduGeek Lanyard hunt will begin again. Possibly one of the most saught after items last year ... each day's allocation would go within the first hour or so IIRC. Of course ... DB will have some suitable surprise for us this year (t-shirts for sale?) Looking forward to turning up on Wed morning as a punter and asking pointless questions like "when is Sir Bob turning up?"
Edu-IT Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Yeh I missed the lanyards last year, but I did get a mug, so all was not lost.
bizzel Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I'll be around all of those days if you want help running the stand. I had a great time doing it this year and I'd love to pitch in again.
john Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Looking forward to turning up on Wed morning as a punter and asking pointless questions like "when is Sir Bob turning up?" pun-ter? Whats this strange work you speak of Tony, you just know you WILL be desperate to be helping out and enjoying the fun on the stand, taking an oversized novelty dog for a walk around the show with Ric and I for photos.....
GrumbleDook Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Oh no ... not this year :-) I get to play on other stands, get to go to seminars, press announcements, meet real people and talk about stuff related to what I get paid for. I may drift over around lunchtimes though ... clad in black, mask over my face and with ninja-like stealth purloin some slices of Pizza before anyone gets sight of me ... damn ... I've just typed that out again haven't I!?!
