Hi , This week I am in 💂London at the #BETT UK EdTech event. Follow the hashtag #BETT2024 on social media to see some of the latest trends. 💻Artificial Intelligence💡 is the most popular theme as well as mental health. 🆘Remember when using AI, you are the expert, and the highly trained educator.

The students presenting projects🤖 (on a big stage) at BETT is one of my favorites. The teams of students design a project using innovation to solve a problem, such as tackling 🥘food waste, by managing left overs to create greener spaces. #Design4SDGsUK24 🆒Super cool!!!
