The winners of the prestigious BETT Awards 2008 were announced last night (Wednesday, 9 January, 2008) at the BETT Awards Dinner held at The Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London. You can find details on the Becta website.

The annual BETT Awards represent a partnership between Becta, the Government’s lead agency for ICT in education, BESA, the trade association representing the educational supply industry and Emap Education, the organisers of BETT - the largest educational technology show in the world.

The awards encourage and recognise outstanding education sector resources and learning solutions. Judges review the entries based on criteria including design, cost-effectiveness, support of higher order thinking skills and effective learning and teaching styles. The technical criteria against which the awards were judged focused on the robustness and resilience of each product, and its accessibility for those with specific needs.
