Bett 2017: Themes, Strategy and Economics

February 8, 2017

There's one good thing about Bett being so late in January: it's not too long to wait to half term! But before you go off on a well-earned rest, here are some articles I wrote for subscribers to my newsletter, Digital Education.

Start with Bett Themes, which contains links to an article on taking strategic decisions based on what you've seen at Bett, and also an article about 5 economic concepts you may find useful as a way of considering next steps. Each of these last two articles could also be applied to other conferences of course.

Over to you

I should like to compile a report on Bett from other people's observations and thoughts. If you went to Bett and saw anything interesting, or detected a trend not mentioned here, please take a couple of minutes to take part in this very short survey (there are only two 'required' answers).

For instance, I didn't manage to see any of the 'maker' or STEM stands, so if you did I'd love to hear from you.
