BETT 2009

Every January, an enormous show takes place at Olympia, a large exhibition centre in London. It's called BETT and is where all the companies who make ICT hardware and software for schools come to show off their products. Thousands of teachers and other people who work in schools come to find out what's new!

This year, Mr Taylor and Mr Noble set off to Olympia to explore BETT. We visited lots of the stands, including Sherston Software, Smart Learning, 2Simple, Promethean, and lots of other companies whose products interested us.

Below you can see one of the two large exhibition halls- the show covered both halls, on the ground floor and on the first floor balconies.

Do it Yourself!

You may be interested in 2DiY, the latest product from 2Simple (who made 2Animate). It lets you (whisper it quietly!) make your own games!

Here's a game made by DRN.
LEVEL ONE
The Princess has to collect all the vases without getting burned- there's a 60 second time limit as well!
LEVEL TWO
Collect all the golden pyramids without falling into the gunge. 2 min limit.
LEVEL THREE
Collect all the healthy food without falling into the gunge or eating something unhealthy! 2 min limit.
