Matt Davis from Adobe for IPP teachers
The session, held on 5 April, 2017, was very informative, with Matt Davis from Adobe showing us the future with Adobe CC and the Cloud. For those of you who were not able to attend, this is a “must-watch” session. The whole session has now been uploaded to the IPP Resources page.
New page in Business section
A Business Issues page has just been added to the website – with just one issue in it. IBM is going against the trend of employees working from home. Read about it – make a worksheet/task sheet to go with it, share this with us all.
At the moment there is only one issue here – if you have any that you can add, let us know!

of a new item to the website!
Business teachers – new entrepreneurship resource
A new link to Khan Academy has been added to the links page. Khan has some great interviews with entrepreneurs such as Richard Branson, Elon Musk, the founders of Dropbox and LinkedIn. Check it out. The interviews are YouTube clips, with questions and answers below them. If you use some of these, try putting together accompanying worksheets which can be shared with other BUE teachers via this website! That would be fantastic!
