BETT in London

So, major occurance this week was the Year 2 trip to BETT, an educational technology fair at Olympia, in London.




Lots of free catalogues and stuff - including some lego!!!

The particular points that interested me were a program called "I can animate", which is, as it sounds, a program to enable children to make stop-motion animations; a Speech and Language program, which has been adopted for use in my local LEA to diagnose and treat children with Speech and Language disorders, and which was explained to us in some detail. There were also a plethora of educational games programs, many of which I can apply for free trials to try out, which will help enormously with my Technology Assignment.

Whilst in London I also paid a vist to the Natural History Museum, which is just as great as I remembered, and to which I will have to pay a visit with my children in the near future. I also found time to pop into the V&A, where I met a friend for lunch, which was far more jaw dropping than I remember from previous visits - it was clearly wasted on a teenager! I didn't managed to sneak time for a visit to the Sir John Soames Museum, which I have been promising myself for ages, despite staying in a hotel in the vicinity. Next time!
