Hi @vikpaw Yes it was you and it was me and I think I was discussing dongle security? Hope BETT was good for you!

Hello, I'm Karina and just joined Edugeek after finding the stand at the BETT show in Excel last week. It was great to meet the folks there. I'm music technology coordinator for City Lit - an adult education college in Holborn near Covent Garden, London. I look after a suite of iMacs, outboard gear, music software and a team of music tech tutors and I pretty much get to decide on the kinds of courses we run. More about my area is here: Music production courses and part-time music technology classes London: City Lit where you can find out more about the college if you like.

Well, today I visited the BETT show at Excel in London and, as a result, today I joined EduGeek. I wonder what other BETT show visitors made of it? 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. 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? She added that investment in marketing will yield more remunerative payback than investment in robust scientific investigation.... How sad and how true.
