A couple of weeks ago myself, Mr Chislett and Paul all went up to London to visit the BETT show. This massive educational technology show involves thousands of companies, hundreds of workshops and some fascinating presentations from industry and educational leaders. This year we were also lucky enough to attend an evening event hosted by Apple at the Design Museum which focused on creativity and self-expression, particularly through the innovative use of Garageband in the classroom. We’ve all come back full of fantastic ideas and we can’t wait to start sharing them with the pupils at Penpol. – Mr Woolcock
