Personally Classroom Management - new version of Impero looks to build on existing features very well and brance out into new ones too! Large Format printers The new Canon A0 large bed plotter gave stunning images at a fantastic price (£6.50 for a full A0 colour page) Robust Headphones found these at £3.50 each (min case 40) look far better than cheap headphones I've found before and sound quite good on my iphone too! link Steve

Thanks guys, text sent ! fingers crossed!

I know it was just a couple (3?) Cannon large format Plotters/Printers and some impressive A0 prints, any help much appreciated!

Can anyone help withthe stand no and compant exhibiting the Cannon A0 Plotters (that's all they had on the stand) IIRC they were in the main hall not too far from one end ! Cheers guys Steve (Who's back up tomorrow but by then it will be too late to show the person with the purse strings!)

Hi All, Just a quick post to let you know the updated 2012 Kent e-Safety Policy Template has been published. It's gone out to local schools via the e-Bulletin and has been published on the e-Safety Blog, Kent Trust Web website and Twitter. We will also post it to safetynet shortly. The online generator has also been updated with the new content. We will hopefully work on a word version shortly. Kent Trust Web: Kent County Council Feel free to download the policy and associated materials (although we would like crediting in any versions you produce/publish) Thanks Steve Kent E-Safety Policy Group
