Classlist.com shared Bett Show's live video.
Anne Milton Minister of State opened the BETT conference today. It was very interesting to hear the Government's thoughts on the place of technology in Education. But how do schools afford it? Is your PTA working to raise money for a technology fund? What are you planning to buy for the school?
In case you are interested, here are some of our favorite quotes:
"We recognise that EdTech can play a vital role – as a tool for teachers in our schools, colleges and Universities."
..."The UK is a global EdTech hub at the forefront of technological developments and discoveries; constantly developing innovative new learning methods and technology.
"At the same time technology can keep people awake at night!
"Many feel they lack the budget or the expertise to use it.

Prep school mag’s new edition is out. Look who’s inside. Our co-founder Clare Wright talking about the benefits that using Classlist can bring to your school: from data protection to greater inclusion. Read it at http://www.prepschoolmag.co.uk (p.52).
It's blue Monday today but there's no need to be down. New research from the clever people at Harvard has found that being connected to other people in the community makes us happier and healthier. (Now you've got an excuse for that latte). Why not get the school parents together for a coffee to warm up your school community and kick off the term in a friendly way for your PTA? We heard of one PTA setting up a coffee to welcome a new family to the school. How nice is that? (Ambassador Tip: Use Classlist community events to set it up in a couple of clicks).
Great to be mentioned as the GDPR solution for schools and parents in the PTA+ Spring mag out this week. Take a look at the article here to find out more... http://bit.ly/2D3wlTa

Jimmy’s throwing a tantrum because his new backpack has the wrong Avengers superhero on it. Janet’s upset that you told her she can’t be a dog when she’s older.
It’s no wonder mums and dads enjoy befriending other mums and dads.
...These relationships become even more important when your children are at school – helping you share the burden of picking up and dropping off, costume-making, or stepping up at the monthly PTA meeting.
