Yesterday, I took a group of our amazing Digital Leaders to BETT. It had been a few years since I last visit to BETT and my first visit to the ExCel arena. I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised at the new layout - one of previous criticisms of Olympia was that it was difficult to find anything due the multitude of floors and numerous halls. It was great seeing the advancements in technology and exploring how some of these can be used in a classroom setting. It was also great meeting up with other like minded professionals and hearing from some inspirational educational practitioners. However, my highlight of BETT this year had to be hearing the inspirational stories from our young student leaders - in particular the Digital Leaders.
Here are just a few of my favourite tweets:

— Lewis Hall (@lewis892) January 23, 2015 In the students' debate, lots of focus on "kids as digital leaders", teaching teachers about use of tech. That's good #bett2015 #bettarena
