That is equivalent to the people on 21 Boeing 747-400s. • Nearly 20 per cent of visitors to BETT were from overseas, which totals 5,835 visitors. That is about the same number as there are secondary schools in the UK. • The average BETT visitor spends 10 hours and four minutes at the show.

  13. REFLECTIONS… • It was a privilege and an honour to have been chosen as the recipient of this prize. • A trip to BETT is a truly worthwhile experience – not only for IT staff, but for teachers at grassroots level. • ICT integration is all about using all technology in such a way as to enhance learning – not just computers! • We cannot deny our children this! • “Open your eyes, see the real world, embrace technology and make sure you are abreast of the latest trends, even if it just to engage in a conversation with your pupils, regardless of whether or not ICT is your field of interest.”
