As the snow hits the high ground, shops fill with the sound of Wham’s Last Christmas and the X Factor reaches it enthralling conclusion so our thoughts turn to BETT – the UK’s largest showcase of educational technology products, resources and best practice.
Once again Netintelligence products will be centre stage. Last year we had the honour of being presented with the UK’s first Kitemark for Child Safety Online by the Minister for Children and Families at the show. This year, whilst not expecting any further Ministerial presentations, we do expect to be making a similar splash.
BETT 2012 provides us with the opportunity to demonstrate our latest filtering technology designed for Mac OS or more specifically for iPad & iPhones. As our recent survey highlighted, with one in ten of primary school children already armed with the latest in ‘chic geek’ phones, the issue of safety and protection becomes increasingly important.
As Will Gardner, of Childnet International, recently commented: “In our work in schools we are often getting asked by parents about the technology their children are using. It is important to help ensure parents are aware of the full functionality of the technology that young children are accessing and that they are able to use the tools and give the support that young people need to stay safe and get the most out of these devices”.
So if you are involved with the protection of minors or have a role that involves a duty of care to the more vulnerable in our society and are considering deploying iPhones or iPads, please feel free to visit us on stand E75 and we’d be happy to discuss your concerns and issues.
BETT 2012 takes place on the 11th – 14th January 2012 at London’s Olympia.
