Photos: Kid-friendly tech at BETT
By Nicole Kobie,
Forget pencils and paper, today's kids have much more interesting learning tools in their classrooms: 3D projectors, fingerprint scanners, ruggedised notebooks, Lego-based robots and more.
All this was on show at the BETT educational technology show at Olympia in London.
Stand after stand displayed the all-important back-end tech as well as tried-and-tested school-friendly gadgets like netbooks and interactive whiteboards, but there was plenty of room at the massive show for some more unique - and brightly coloured - devices too.
IT PRO uncovered the new USB-based NComputing system, 3D projectors, do-it-yourself robots and more. Click through the photo gallery for pictures and details.

Books arent old school - just tried and tested.
My 6 year old and 2 year old daughters love their books. Whats not to like about learning to read and understanding that on each page could be a new adventure or story thats limited only by imagination. I'd rather they were reading (no supervision required) than watching some rubbish on TV or being supervised using the laptop.
