IWB projector that doesn’t require an IWB (Epson BrightLink 450Wi interactive projector) Epson showed off their latest short throw projector that doesn’t require an IWB (Interactive White Board) for it to have Interactivity. Most schools will probably want a whiteboard anyway but this product decreases cost of ownership by removing the interactivity from the board, we expect that our price on these will be £1600 fully fitted. 2. 3D LCD screen that doesn’t require glasses This is one of those items I have been waiting about 6 months to see in the flesh and I hate to say it that I wasn’t bowled over but I was excited! The demo I saw didn’t have any decent content on it, I would love to borrow one for a few weeks and watch a load of 3d movies on it to evaluate the difference and to document some practice teaching and learning uses. And in at 1. Finding out my cousin’s son frequently learns and plays on Primary Games Arena. Awesome! Win! As always, because I’m a moody monkey I had a beef with a few things: The lack of creativity and research/thought that went into naming edupics.org baffles me, a bad name for a service when there is already a great service called edupics.com doing something similar and for free…… Bee-It disclosed their genius business model…. Charge suppliers for web space. Fail… Google’s advertising. . Google, if you are listening. You don’t need to advertise, we are already at your mercy. Stop wasting resources. And some notes/thanks: Had some great chats with @simfin, @merlinjohn, @ianaddison and many more great people, thanks! There were lots of interactive flash content creators there again this year, I expected that this market would of pushed quite a few out but obviously some are going strong! Sorry I didn’t do any evening events this year, I decided on my only evening available to go and see my family which I’m glad I did because we all had a great time .. I discovered the NEN website has some great resources to offer, you should check them out.. Oh and It’s learning is probably my favourite VLE provider as it is inclusive for service providers, unlike pretty much every other VLE… What I want to see in 2011? And I think I will… A short throw LED projector that has interactivity built in.

It was my 7th BETT (I think) a lot of the names you mention are on my Twitter PLN and Twitter has become a major tool for me since last summer when I began to sue it.

The Teachmeet Takeover and the Teachmeet were what made the vist to BETT worthwhile. I found myself completely overwhelmed by the tech on show and felt more like a fish visiting a pool of sharks. But, the tmtakeover gave teachers the chance to demonstrate what they are doing in the classroom with 'free' tools. Teachmeet BETT 2010 was a fantastic event, full of ideas, inspiration and not an advertising slogan in sight. After being bombarded by commercialism all day at BETT, it was great to spend time with the people that make the difference.<p class="wp-report-this"><a href="http://janwebb21.com?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=comment&object_id=6&width=250&height=300" class="thickbox" title="Report Comment As Inappropriate">Report Comment As Inappropriate</a></p> What a great post, one that encapsualtes everything I thought of BETT too.
