The future of classroom tech at BETT

Apple certainly wasn't content with playing second fiddle to Microsoft, bringing along a saxophone-wielding musician.

The multi-talented Joe Moretti pulled in huge numbers for his demonstration of Apple's GarageBand personal recording studio.

Apple, which confessed to doing little business at BETT, used the event as more of a showcase.

Aside from the display of its iMac and MacBook Pro range, some of the products touted were of peripheral use for the education sector, for example Apple's movie-making software Final Cut Express or Apple Wiki Server, its collaborative offering.
