BETT 2010

Now I know much has already been blogged about BETT 2010 but I might as well add my thoughts. I attended BETT on the Friday, my first visit since I’d been a student teacher (so a while ago). It was a great day and I came away inspired, with my head full of practical ideas for my classroom. Yet the vast majority of these didn’t come from the trade stands. I thought that lots of these were providing expensive solutions to simple problems, or were selling products beyond the budget of a small school like mine. No, my inspiration came from the chance to attend several of the Teachmeet Takeovers where practical ideas and resources, which actually are proven to work in real classrooms, were demonstrated and shared.  Despite being disappointed to be unable to attend the evening Teachmeet, it was good to meet so many of my Twitter colleagues and to come away with so many good ideas. My first target is to use Voicethread and Wallwisher in the next couple of weeks; the results of which will appear here in the next couple of weeks.
