The world's leading learning technology event, the BETT 2014 show (British Educational Training and Technology), recently took place again this year at ExCel, London and it was nothing but spectacular. There were a total of 688 exhibitors from around the world including Frog and our partners, showcasing the latest advancements in education technology all in one place!
There were 12,000 bags and brochures distributed,
10,000 jelly bean packets given out,
500 FrogStore mugs redeemed,
500 Frog earphones taken home,
900 demos shown by Frog staff,
and visits from 80 schools throughout the event!
We were also honoured to have UK's Education Secretary Michael Gove mention Frog in his opening speech as: ‘the cutting edge of educational technology’.
The Frog stand was a hit among BETT participants as our staff were busy as bees giving demos of Frog's latest features all day for four days in a row! We had the privilege of welcoming Education Ministry representatives to our booth from France, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Russia and UAE as well as educators from schools in Sweden, Norway and Turkey.
Here are some amazing statistics to give an idea of how exciting the event was:

"Frog had developed “the world’s first project to connect an entire nation through a single, cloud-based learning platform, in Malaysia. All 10,000 state schools and 10 million users are being provided with 4G connectivity to Frog’s virtual learning platform - so no matter where students live in the country, they all have access to the same, high-quality resources and content.”
