My feet after visiting Bett

Last chance to register online for Bett (for free)

March 3, 2023

I’ve just discovered that today (3rd March 2023) is the last day to register online for free for the edtech show known as Bett. Otherwise you have to register on the day and endure massive queues. Or online and then pay a late registration fee of £25. Or maybe both, I didn’t really spend time trying to take it in.

Late registration fee? Well, I suppose that’s one way of getting people to sign up early.

The event takes place in London from 29th to 31st March 2023. I’ve always enjoyed it, though I haven’t been in person since Covid appeared on the scene. Last year we were caring for an elderly relative and I didn’t want to risk catching something, even though the hygene regime had been very well thought through.

The website is Bett. Perhaps I’ll see you there.

New!

Like just about everyone else in the edtech community I've been putting ChatGPT through its paces. The following linkk will take you to an updsated version of an artticle that first appeared in my newsletter, Digital Education:
