Janina Klimas teaches people how to learn new languages. She has taught languages for over 20 years on 3 different continents and speaks 6 languages to various levels of fluency. She has led workshops for language teachers online, at the BETT Show in London, the annual ACTFL convention, Language Show Live in London, and at schools in Europe and the U.S. She has been featured on several podcasts including the Side Hustle School podcast. Learning a new language is a great skill and way to use your down time. Learning a new language gives you the ability to have more conversations with different people. It also allows you to speak to an entirely different audience. For a sub-topic in business, it's common to find a saturated topic for English speakers that isn't saturated in the Spanish market (or a different language). Mastering different languages allow you to broaden the range of people you can speak to.

At the heart of this question is the research and evidence which we need to get better at both generating and understanding, so we can make some sensible decisions.”During her talk about ‘The Billion Dollar Edtech Question: Can We Prove it Works?’ at Bett on the Professional Development stage on Thursday 23rd January at 11am, Alison will cover what people think research evidence is all about, the formats and contents different people need to make better decisions – plus, some practical tools and insights.

Graham Brown-Martin (@GrahamBM) is a leader in the field of foresight and anticipatory research that brings together social, political and technological trends to consider how we need to ready ourselves for the future. He chats to Russell Prue about hosting an interactive session at Bett 2020 called, “The future of work, society and learning – of preparing learners for tomorrow” (along with his special guests from the London Interdisciplinary School and School 21), which intends to generate and share ideas about how best to prepare students for the future.

Russell Prue interviews Sir David Carter (Executive Director of System Leadership at Ambition Institute) on NetSupport Radio about his forthcoming presentation at Bett 2020.Sir David (@Carter6D) talks about ‘The importance of leadership’ and will outline why it’s imperative that we encourage intelligent and capable leaders to enter into leadership roles in our schools.

Radio broadcaster Russell Prue chats to NetSupport's MD, Al Kingsley, live at the National Education Show in Cardiff about their plans to team up again for NetSupport Radio at Bett 2020.Russell and Al chat about the fact that, for the first time ever, NetSupport Radio (powered by Anderton Tiger) will be the official broadcaster of the Bett Show! There are always so many great things to celebrate about Bett and, this year, working directly with the organisers, NetSupport Radio will get a chance to showcase all the amazing things that take place, including interviews with the speakers from the main speaker stage and bringing student voice to the airwaves - plus much more! This is a special opportunity to reach an even wider audience than ever before, with people being able to listen live to the shows online each day. Roll on January 2020!

Episode 10 of The Teaching Space Podcast shares 10 things you must do before, during and after an education conference. Podcast Episode 10 Transcript Introduction Hello and welcome to episode ten of the Teaching Space Podcast. It's Martine here. In today's episode, I want to share with you ten things you must do before, during and after attending an education conference. Bett Show 2018 These ten things are based on recent experience. In January, I attended the Bett Show, which takes place in London. And it's a large education technology show at the ExCel Centre. Now, I'm based in Guernsey, so the reality of attending a show at the ExCel Centre looks something like this: The Journey I take the red-eye flight, which is the seven a.m. flight from Guernsey to London Gatwick. We used to be able to fly directly to London City, which was a lot more convenient if you know London geography, but alas, that's not possible anymore. So I'm on the red-eye flight at seven a.m. I like to be at the airport an hour before, so I'm there at six a.m., which means I'm up at around five a.m., so that's not a great start to a travel day now really, is it? The flight thankfully got off on time, around seven a.m., so I got into London sometime after 8. By the time I got to the ExCel Centre, it was probably about half-past ten. This experience of travelling to London and going to Bett, made me start thinking about what I need to do slightly better when I go again. I have been to Bett a couple of times, but normally I go overnight. And on this occasion, I went for the day, so I was in on the first flight and out on the last flight, which must have been half seven, eight o'clock in the evening, maybe even a bit later actually. Next Year's Plan Next year I will definitely do an overnight stay, because going for a day, including my travel, just simply wasn't enough. The substance of this podcast really is the things I'm going do better next time, so ten things that I believe you should do in preparation for an education conference (and also a few things to do during and after). So here we go. 1. Make a Plan Look at who's going to be at the event you're going to and plan out your day or days. The Bett Show is brilliant because they have an app, which you can download, and you can favourite any of the stands or speakers that you want to see. So make a plan. And make a plan in advance of your trip. Don't do it on the flight or on the train. 2. Pre-Arrange Meetings While you're planning, arrange meetings, put them on your calendar. Now, this was a mistake I made for Bett; I arranged my meetings while I was there via Twitter direct message. The wifi at the Bett Show was appalling, so I ended up missing a couple of meeting, which I was really disappointed about. Arrange any meetings in advance, pop them in your calendar. 3. Pack All the Things When you're packing for the event, include your phone charger. If like me you are going to somewhere international (to me, the UK is international) you might need a data SIM card for internet.  At Bett, I was totally reliant on wifi, and the connection was terrible. It was the reason that I missed several meetings. Also, I wanted a live stream while I was there and I was unable to do that. I did it once or twice, but it was pretty poor, so if you need to take a sort of spare SIM card, or you know a battery pack or whatever it is you need to enable you to be digitally connected the whole time, make sure you pack that. And if you're gonna rock it old school: take some business cards too. 4. Get Social Is there a hashtag? Can you follow people who are going to be exhibiting at the event? Get some conversation going on social media, and you will have a richer experience at your event. 5. Target Yourself to Connect As part of your planning, target yourself with people that you want to connect with. This is a special shout out really for the introverts out there attending these type of events. When it comes to this sort of thing, I'm quite introverted, and I find the hugeness and the noise of an event like the Bett Show quite overwhelming. So this time I made a real point of targeting myself to visit certain stands and speak to certain people. And I achieved some of those targets. Not all of them, but I achieved some, so I recommend as number five you target yourself with certain things to do and certain people to see. 6. Get a Good Night's Sleep Get a good night's sleep before the event. These events are exhausting, especially if you have to do a great deal of travel to attend, so get a good night's sleep. Now we're talking about on the day. 7. Wear Comfortable Shoes and Clothes This is kind of a no-brainer, but I felt I had to put it on here: wear comfortable shoes and clothes. While I was walking around the Bett Show, I saw a lady who was wearing, I swear, five-inch heels and I was just like "How on earth can you be walking around wearing those shoes?" I have a pedometer on my watch, and I did close to 17,000 steps on that day. How could you do that in five-inch heels? Crazy stuff. 8. A 30-Minute Orientation  When you arrive at the show, and this is number eight, when you arrive at the show, give yourself a good half an hour or so just to get familiar with your surroundings. Finding a map is a good idea at this point as well, and comparing the map with your list of places you want to go and people you want to see. Do that within your first half an hour and adjust to where you are. 9. Eat Lunch at an Odd Time Number nine, this is going to sound like a really strange one, but go with me, eat lunch at a really odd time. Ideally, take snacks with you, so you can eat lunch late. And the reason I say this is at the Bett Show, the ExCel Centre was heaving. It was so busy, that it took me three-quarters of an hour to queue for a salad and that was around one o'clock. Now had I gone at 11 or half two, three o'clock, I think I would have been fine, but given that I had so little time there, that three-quarters of an hour that I spent queuing for my lunch, could have been spent doing far more interesting things. 10. Follow Up And finally, number ten, follow up any interesting conversations or meetings that you had while you were at the event. Give it a couple of days and then put an email in and carry the conversation on. This is something that I did post-Bett. I was trying to arrange a meeting while I was there on Twitter, thank you terrible wifi for ruining that, but I wanted to meet with an event organiser who does a variety of summits for Google. I was quite keen to try to get involved with this company and hopefully find a way to do some work with them. While I missed the meeting thanks to the terrible wifi and arranging it via Twitter, I followed up afterwards, and I'm really excited to say I am going to be speaking at the London Google Summit in March. So follow up any opportunities that crop up at the event that you're attending. I did that and something really exciting has come of it. Wrap Up So those are my top ten tips for things you should do in preparation for and while attending and indeed after attending an education conference. Of course, this goes for any type of conference that you're going to attend, but as my listeners are mainly teachers and people working in education, I focused on education conferences. I hope this has been useful. As I mentioned, Bett is an educational technology conference, and if ed tech is something of interest to you, then please check out my email course 30 EdTech Tools in 30 Days. Okay, that's all from me today, thank you so much for listening, and I hope you'll join me for episode 11.

NetSupport's MD, Al Kingsley, gives a run-down of what's in store for NetSupport at Bett, including new product (ReallySchool) in the Bett Futures Zone; NetSupport Radio with Russell Prue as the expert host (interviewing people about edtech, digcit, safeguarding and more); demos of brand new versions of NetSupport DNA and NetSupport School; a range of special guests, competitions, giveaways - and more!

George Burgess... where to start? Founder of revision app company that raised $3million, Venture Partner for InMotion (Jaguar Land Rover),  Stanford Uni dropout, Co-founder of EdTech Exchange, public speaker, and part-time 'tinkerer'!   Further to meeting George at The BETT Show earlier this year, we stayed in contact via the EdTech Exchange network he co-founded. After finding out more about his story it was one I just had to share.   George founded the revision app company Gojimo which is used by 1/3 of GCSE and A level students in the UK, and over the past couple of years has achieved a successful exit to the Telegraph. This however wasn't without its challenges... they achieved huge user acquisition, constantly developed the platform, but did struggle to monetise!   Alongside Gojimo, George founded EdTech Exchange which is a network for EdTech founders (of which Titus Learning are a part of!). This started off as a way to speak with peers in the sector, but soon grew into a large organisation and a real business opportunity.    As well as George's business ventures, we discuss how he manages his time, his other interests and ideas, and what's next.   In this episode we discuss:   Nailing the process of user acquisition Challenges and considerations for monetising your app When is it right to look at VC funding Validating your idea Time management (and generally how to spin a lot of plates!) Avoiding burnout and how to bring balance to work Product testing, KPIs, metrics, and constantly iterating When to pivot Creating a network around you to share ideas Building something that your target market love Managing stakeholders e.g. investors   Links from this episode:   Gojimo Website Gojimo Twitter George Burgess Twitter InMotion Ventures (Jaguar Land Rover) EdTech Exchange

We need to be driving that in our schools.' Sweden: 'When I went there in 2011 for the first time, in the swedish authority all the students have a laptop of their own and all the students are allowed to install their own programmes.'  Soren Anderson, ICT-strategist for the school district of Sandviken, Sweden 'We are a high tech country, but i fell like we missed something on the way.' I think that many of us thought that if we just have everything we need (technically) it would solve every problem, but it didn't'  IT Advisor, UAE Ministry of Education  'We would like our country to be number one in education.'  'Our strategy is to enhance education through Emirati schools.' Jon Tiss, Co-Founder, Show My Homework 'Naimish regular goes out to schools. I still go out to schools. The classroom changes week to week.

How much contact do you actually have with the schools on what they need? 'I think the focus on coding and computing is great. I want to make sure it is integrated and meaningful. I think having life briefs with industry is very useful. to bring value to the community. ‘I'm a massive advocate in technology, but on the flip side the most powerful presentations are the one where you speak from the heart' Retention: ‘We are not looking at other professions on how to retain and develop staff.' 'The highest percentage of people leaving the education system, are women between the ages of 30 and 39. We've got all these qualified women, teachers, who aren't in the system. Why can't we create flexible roles to get them back into the profession?'

Intro: Nordic Edtech Conference: http://nordicedtech.squarespace.com/ Content: Interview with: Maarit Rossi, Global Teacher Prize Nominee & Founder, Paths to Maths Covering: The new Finnish curriculum and what you need to know about it  Showcasing why maths is relevant and how maths can solve real world problems  Challenging the lack of VC investment in female-led businesses  Sample Quotations: The new curriculum puts much more attention to the student being the centre of learning. Finland: we are a research-based education. It's my mission. I want to change Math education, not just in Finland, but in the whole world. Interdisciplinary Math is very important. 8 students out of 10 are solving mathematics based on memorising. This really shows what is happening in math classes all over the world. We have to change it. Learning in the classroom is not only working with the computers or tablets, it's working together. The first learning games have been made for consumers and now I am talking about schools It's very important what kind of principal you have in your school and what kind of system you have in your country. About 50 years ago Finland was one of the poorest countries in the world and now we are one of the richest countries. We don't have oil, but we have the education. We have to give the environment of learning to students. We need a big(ger) investor to bring the project to the next level.

Here Russell chats to the whole group ahead of a special series on College bands we featured at the BETT Show in London. Ellis, Ethan, Max & Ollie make up The Fused, a Cardiff rock band formed from across the city. The lads are great friends and Russell really enjoyed chatting to them about their songs, influences and ambitions. We first met Ellis whilst broadcasting from Willows High School who featured in 2015's Educating series. Please support this band, you can hook up with them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/The-Fused-907434665977298/?fref=ts Find out more about our broadcasting activities www.AndertonTiger.com/Radio
