The BETT 2016 conference 20-23.January 2016
at the ExCel Centre in London was four days of insight and exploration into
the world of education technology. It is the biggest event in the world on the topic of digital technology and education where EPA was represented by Vice President Christian Hellevang.
Technology develops fast today, and the
education industry is no exception. The rapid rate of innovation means it can
be hard for schools and educational organisations to keep up, meaning they are
potentially missing out on cutting-edge technologies.
Nearly 45,000 people visited the
BETT show last year and this year’s event was expected to be even bigger,
marking it out as one of the most important educational conferences in the UK.
Many of the exhibitors
in the BETT 2016 conference were targeting parents and
they had a lot of technology that makes it easier for schools to share
information with the parents and to give parents higher influence in the
schools.

Secretary opens the 2016 BETT show by talking of the benefits technology can
