StoryPhones will be exhibiting at the BETT Middle East exhibition in Abu Dhabi from Sunday 21st November 2010.  This is the first time that StoryPhones will have been seen at an event in the region and we are looking forward to being able to demonstrate the unique features to the education professionals from the area.  Details of our presence at the exhibition can be seen here on the Bett Middle East web site.  For more information on the benefits of using StoryPhones, click here.

 Having won two Gold Awards at last year’s Practical Pre School Awards we were delighted to win another gold award at this September’s Awards.  With a score of 91.5% the judges felt that ‘the Little Listener was a robust, easy to use player just the right size for little hands and the children all enjoyed listening to songs and stories’.

 The Little Listener is our latest product.  It is a rugged, easy to use loud speaking and recording MP3 player, ideal for little people and the big ones too.  We want to make listening as easy as possible and our Practical Pre School Gold Award judged by children and practitioners shows that our Little Listener does just that.

 The Little Listener is accompanied by the StoryPhones software, an audio management tool as well as a media player.  Our customers can also access our growing online download store.

Having travelled north last week, this time we headed south to Olympia for the TES Education Show 2010.  Thank you to everyone who visited us.  We really enjoy meeting new visitors to our stand and got a fantastic response to our MP3 players.  We were also able to tell everyone the news that our new product, the Little Listener, our loud speaking MP3 player had received a Practical Pre School Gold Award.

 The feedback from our existing customers was brilliant.  The most popular comment was ‘the children are loving them’. We are always delighted to hear this since this has always been our aim with StoryPhones, to make listening easy for children and to open up the world of audio.

 Eleanor, one of our directors also lead one of the free workshops.  The basic message was ‘Think Audio’ or how can you use technology to make audio resources a regular part of a child’s learning environment – easy with digital technology. Thank you to everyone who attended.

 We now have a quiet time back in the office until BETT 2011.
