Our Bett takeaways
Teacher Workload
It was encouraging to see the emphasis on technology making it easier for schools to do what they do best - teaching students. The workload issue is critical as it affects staff retention, student outcomes and parental engagement.
Partnerships
Providers better understand the increasingly sophisticated needs of schools. Teachers want access to the best tools, and recognise they are unlikely to come from a single source.
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)
The potential role these technologies play in the future will be shaped by teachers and students identifying where they can have a positive impact. The possibilities of these technologies are becoming clearer each year.
The People
The education community is now far more savvy about what they want technology to do, and as a result there was a much greater focus on pedagogy and school systems, rather than simply feature demonstrations from exhibitors.
