The British Education and Training Technology (Bett) 2009 exhibition has offered valuable tips to educators on how to make technology work for them.
According to the British Educational Communications and Technology Agency (Becta), the exhibition has been a great way for teachers and university lecturers to learn about how they can benefit from technology. The exhibition showcases different technology products across 600 separate stands and focuses on how they can be implemented in an educational context. Nearly 30,000 people attend each year.
Claire Gill, director of communications at Becta, speaking at Bett 2009, said: "It's an opportunity to open minds [because] people often have a very fixed idea about technology and what it means for them and what it means for the future."
Teachers are being encouraged to utilise new technology in the classroom as much as possible, as the right products only facilitate the teaching process. IT training and database administration courses can help reap the biggest benefits.
