Here we go again, BETT is just around the corner and Scholastic have been getting ready (almost since BETT 2011 ended!) for a big show. We have kept the bits that you said you loved from last year (More resource demonstrations based on the needs you have in your classroom; TeachMeet Takeover and Hutch, our [ READ MORE ]
On Wednesday I gave a presentation to the Independent Publishers Guild Annual Conference on social networking. I followed Jon Reed who gave a very comprehensive look at ways in which publishers can use Twitter / Facebook and LinkedIn. It was great to catch up with Kate Wilson from Nosy Crow as well, and talk about how well [ READ MORE ]
If you were on the Scholastic stand on the Saturday at BETT 2011, you’ll have seen the most amazing Anthony Browne stand up and talk Gorilla, the Shape Game and his inspirations for writing both. I was meant to be taking photos, and I struggled as I stood there wowed by it all. From the [ READ MORE ]
Some people define insanity as doing the same thing as you have always done and expecting a different result each time. Well, for me, launching new products, someone could have looked at me and committed me. I seem to fall into the same trap…well no more! I shall explain – this isn’t an advert – [ READ MORE ]

So Wednesday has come and gone, and Thursday is here. This time last year, we were hopeful that things would get better, this year, we were hopeful that things would be as good as yesterday! The good news is that the stand was busier from the outset all the way through the day. One of [ READ MORE ]
BETT is one of those shows that you think about for a long time. We started planning BETT 2011 in February 2010, allowing ourselves time to have crazy ideas that keep us awake at night, and then distil them into common sense punchy ideas for the show. For example, back in May we had the idea of a QR [ READ MORE ]
Due to mechanical error (printer breaking down), and local company error (not printing enough and running out of time) I could really do with some help to print the TeachMeet Takeover 2011 flyer. The PDF is in my dropbox here. I have managed to get 200 done, but I would think that every stand hosting [ READ MORE ]
