Bett: The Future of Education W
e are living in a period of rapid change, and the role of education has never
been more important. According to a report by the World Economic Forum, in many industries and countries, the most in- demand occupations or current specialties did not exist ten or even five years ago. Popular estimates, meanwhile, suggest the jobs that 65 per cent of children entering primary school today will work in don’t even exist yet. Preparing students for this sort of unknown
future is challenging and exciting for educators, and it’s one of the primary reasons that the education community gathers each January at Bett; to see what’s next in education as well as discuss its challenges and the different ways in which educators are rising to meet them. The role of technology, meanwhile, is changing just as rapidly as our economies are. Edtech can be used to manage data, workload and assessment, enhance learning, help reduce teacher workload and improve the smooth running of the school. Bett is where schools can research the edtech solutions, quiz suppliers and see products first- hand.
What’s on at Bett A range of Higher Education suppliers will be showcasing their latest products across four days at Bett 2019, offering visitors the opportunity to touch, test and evaluate vital resources. More than 800 education suppliers take the floor, from global technology giants such as Google, Microsoft, Lenovo and HP to exciting start-ups. On display will include management and systems- related products such as Groupcall for GDPR compliance services; 4Matrix for data performance management; campusLan who develop customised network infrastructures, and
LapSafe with mobile ICT storage and charging solutions. There are safeguarding solutions from the likes of SafeToNet, an online safeguarding app which uses non-invasive artificial intelligence to help amongst other things, detect cyberbullying. iSAMS is another example, offering schools a solution to capture all pastoral and safeguarding needs by allowing staff to record concerns against students in one place. Reducing workload is a hot topic undertaken by products like the Profectus bespoke system that continually tracks students’ progress from KS2 tests to Progress Eight qualifications; Task & Time which can measure study load and co-ordinates teacher homework setting in real-time, and Learning by Questions which gives instant feedback and analysis for teachers. Educators will be thrilled to see how collaboration and learning through creativity can be enhanced with LABBOX, a toolkit that contains stories and electronics to enable kids to build projects and toys; Matatalab a new hands-on coding robot aimed at children aged 4 – 9 for STEAM education without the need for screen and literacy, and
Just2easy.comproviding creative tools for computing, maths and English, to name but a few. Interactive experiences at Bett can be enjoyed
with Canvas who will be running "Lunch & Level Up" roundtable sessions twice a day at Bett on topics such as "How to future-proof your organisation to be flexible and adaptable" and "How new pedagogical models are driving growth". These sessions are aimed at leaders to meet their peers, share best practice and ideas for learning, plus lunch included! (Places will be limited and will require pre-registration, go to

astronauts with an amazing hyper-realistic VR experience where Bett visitors can travel into deep space on a Journey to Mars with a mission to grow food there. Would-be space adventurers should also check out CBiS Education and their BinaryBots Super STEAM Saucer. The saucer has four zones of different technology for educators to get hands on with robotics, engineering and coding, complete with immersive AR and VR experiences. In contrast, Dell Technologies travels back in time with their very own ‘Dippy the Dinosaur’ dominating their stand. The near-life size diplodocus skeleton replica ‘Dippy’ is featuring on a tour, one of the Natural History Museum’s most iconic exhibits in over three years, in partnership with the Garfield Weston Foundation and supported by Dell EMC and Williams & Hill. It aims to inspire 1.5 million people to delve into natural history and think about the world around us. The space includes fossils and interactive sessions for learners to get involved. SEN remains an important consideration of
how technology can support teaching and learning. The content theatres will stage specific SEN presentations that cover problem solving with open source technology, the use of free, open source technology to create learning opportunities for all children, and good accessibility practice in FE and HE. SEN products on the show floor include Jelly James Publishing, a provider of curriculum resources for Primary schools, with specialist assessment and intervention to support developmental dyscalculia; KAZ Type software which includes a Mainstream and Neurodiverse edition, plus Robotix, manufacturer of educational gadgets providing kids with dynamic playful learning experiences to develop their STEM, Robotics, Coding and 21st Century Skills to make them future ready.
