The Bett Show is an annual pilgrimage for many teachers. ICT in education expert Terry Freedman gives us his insider’s guide to this year’s event, which takes place later this month

The Bett show has been going for more than 30 years. One of the problems facing an event that is hugely successful – it enjoys an average of around 30,000 visits – is: how do you make the next one even better?
