But more importantly, I think it's important to make BETT attractive to these projects by making sure that they don't get overlooked. I would suggest establishing something like an Open Source Lounge where all these projects would be together and benefit from each others' traffic would be great. It would also make it easier for visitors to get a sense of the Open Source offering. Another thing that could be included is OERs.]]>J.Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:11:58 +0000http://www.ictineducation.org/home-page/2012/1/18/education-technology-and-ict-at-bett-big-changes-for-2013.html#comments443521:4950214:comment/16738108
Suffice to say that BETT is the last in a list of exhibitions we have attended - ASE, Education Show, TES and various LA affairs. Our products really suit an exhibition environment, but the fact is that to spend thousands of pounds to meet a handful of school budget holders just simply isn't worth it. Ironically, cold calling is significantly cheaper (albeit hiring effective telesales people is difficult...)

I was speaking to a couple of other exhibitors last week and the general feeling was that scaling back on BETT 2013 made sense, with a view to then expanding our presence in 2014, if the show seemed better than expected.]]>Terry Freedman, Educational ICT ConsultantMon, 30 Jan 2012 12:48:47 +0000http://www.ictineducation.org/home-page/2012/1/30/blogs-by-plymouth-students.html#comments443521:4950214:comment/16732446Terry Freedman, Educational ICT ConsultantMon, 30 Jan 2012 12:43:56 +0000http://www.ictineducation.org/home-page/2012/1/18/education-technology-and-ict-at-bett-big-changes-for-2013.html#comments443521:4950214:comment/16732435The EMAP people seem very definite about the brilliance of the wi-fi at the ExCel centre, so hopefully the awfulness you experienced won't be repeated. Will be interesting to hear more about SETT on your return, if you feel so inclined.]]>Steve WheelerMon, 30 Jan 2012 12:37:55 +0000http://www.ictineducation.org/home-page/2012/1/30/blogs-by-plymouth-students.html#comments443521:4950214:comment/16732408
