More Bett thoughts and recommendations

January 25, 2018

Do:

Visit the Microsoft stand and, if nothing else, see the dictation add-in working. It produced a word perfect transcript as the presenter was speaking. At the end of it he could have saved it, exported it and even translated it into different languages. 

Have a look in the seminar programme for some interesting-looking sessions on:

  • Augmented Reality in the classroom
  • Virtual Reality in the classroom
  • Women in tech

Visit the Bett Futures area.

Don't:

Look anyone in the eye who is giving out fliers. You'll end up looking for a bag to put all your stuff in, like fliers, Bett pocket map, water, etc. All the bags are huge, so you'll end up putting even more stuff in them. They even start off with stuff in them. By the end of the day you'll be carting around a bag full of paper, pens, empty water bottles, sweet wrappers and other detritus. You might as well go there with a wheelie bin and have done with it. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I'll report on my impressions of the Bett show after the Bett show. That makes sense, doesn't it?

Review of Blueprints

I submitted my review of this book to Teach Secondary magazine, an educational magazine in the UK. The first review is what the magazine published. The second one is what I actually wrote! In substantive terms there is little difference between the two, but you may find it interesting to see what the editor altered.
