12. Back to reality… “ It is terrible that producers seem to forget that some areas of the country still have poor internet access and whilst I mourn the passing of software on DVDs, CDs and Floppy discs (yes I go back that far) there are benefits to online versions not least ease of deployment, not having to pay for additional licences so teachers can use the software at home and avoiding costly updates when the latest version comes out. My main concern is the 'all or nothing' nature of these packages. Having to sign up to the entire suite even if I only want to use a small part of it. For some of our students the sheer quantity of options they would be presented with would be overwhelming.” Anne-Marie Medhurst after Bett 2015
