Bett Day 2 Photos

Posted on Jan 17, 2009 in Conferences | 0 comments

Here are some of my photos from my second day at BETT. I had a little bit more time to go around the show and see some of the things I’d only glanced at briefly the day before.

Tanya shows off version 2 of Smart’s Senteo software with much better reporting built in. You can download v2 right now from Smart’s website.

2DIY – a great new piece of software from 2Simple. Aimed at KS1 you can get them to create and share their own Flash games. Very easy to produce something fun!

Task Magic. Quickly produce a bank of interactive resource from one set of inputted text.

Win a memory stick

Posted on Jan 17, 2009 in Conferences | 13 comments

Those lovely people on the Smart stand at BETT very kindly gave me 6 of their 2GB memory stick wristbands to give away on my blog.

The sticks are loaded up with Smart Notebook Student Edition, which runs directly from the wristband, so you don’t need to install anything. If you wish you could remove this and just use it as a regular memory stick that just fits round your wrist.

I am going to give 3 of these away on Twitter, and give 3 away via this blog. If I can fit them in the envelope I’ll throw in an “I love my Smart Board” window sticker too! If you didn’t attend BETT, or they had run out by the time you got to their stand, then this is an easy way to get your hands on my favourite freebie of the exhibition.

To enter, all I want you to do is to complete the following sentence in the most imaginative/interesting/amusing way you can;

“I love my Interactive Whiteboard because…..”

1. To enter via twitter put @dannynic and then the rest of the sentence. You’ll have to limit it to 140 characters as per Twitter rules.

2. To enter via this blog post a comment below this article with your sentence.

I’ll let you enter once via Twitter and once via this blog, but you can’t win twice I want to send these out to 6 different people.

If you post via the blog, please leave an email address so I can contact you if you win.

I’ll run the competition until midnight (UK) on Friday 23rd January. I’ll sort out winners soon after. The judges decision is final, and no whining if you don’t win etc etc.

I look forward to seeing your entries!
