I'm currently working on the latest issue of Digital Education, which is a free newsletter. I've asked some people I know to contribute their observations on Bett 2016 -- not so much what they thought of it, but their views of products, trends and the value of being there.
The result has been a fantastic range of products and trends reported on, from (in alphabetical order):
- Ian Addison, ICT Leader in a primary school
- Maria Brosnan, CEO of two companies
- Natasha Campbell, Primary Curriculum Advisor
- Me :-)
- FutureSource Consulting, courtesy of Colin Messenger
- Dave Gibbs, STEM Computing & Technology Specialist at the National STEM Learning Centre
- Rose Luckin, Professor of Learner Centred Design at the London Knowledge Lab
- Thomas Ng, School Improvement Adviser (ICT and Assessment)
- Malcolm Payton, Consultant
- Peter Rafferty, teacher and independent technology educator
- Mike Sharples, Professor of Educational Technology at The Open University
- Dave Smith, Dave Smith, Computing and Online Safety Adviser/Business Development Lead at Havering Education Services and Senior Vice Chair of the Naace Board of Management
