BETT brings everyone together at ExCeL London to discuss and debate the future of education and how technology can help raise standards and tear down barriers in the classroom.<br /><br />Google has been participating at BETT for the last four years and we are back again, representing the growing and healthy adoption of Google Apps for Education and Chromebooks in classrooms all over the world. More than 30 million students, teachers and staff use Google Apps for Education and 5,000 schools use Chromebooks globally.

The conference this year focused on a growing trend that affects our lives at home, at work and at school: the move towards a multi-screen world. In this world, tablets and mobile phones are quickly becoming as commonplace—and as useful—as desktop and laptop computers. <br /><br />As you shift between devices, your experience should be seamless. And the same tools you use in your personal life should be available in the workplace, so you can work the way you live. To that end, here are some highlights from this week that are particularly relevant to our business, government and education customers—including tools for developers, features to simplify your life, and new ways to connect and collaborate with others. <br /><br /><b>Tools for developers:</b><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Google Cloud Platform</b>: We <a href="http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com/2013/05/ushering-in-next-generation-of.html" target="_blank">announced</a> that <a href="https://cloud.google.com/products/compute-engine" target="_blank">Google Compute Engine</a>—which provides a fast, consistently high-performance environment for running virtual machines—is now available to anyone by visiting <a href="https://cloud.google.com/products/compute-engine">cloud.google.com</a>. We also introduced <a href="http://developers.google.com/datastore">Google Cloud Datastore</a>, added <a href="http://cloud.google.com/appengine/php">the PHP runtime</a> to <a href="https://cloud.google.com/appengine">Google App Engine</a>, and added sub-hour billing charges so you don’t pay for compute minutes that you don’t use. </li><li><b>Admin SDK</b>: The new <a href="http://googleappsdeveloper.blogspot.com/2013/05/admin-sdk-and-google-apis-for-business.html">Admin SDK</a> lets developers build customized administrative tools for organizations that use Google Apps. The SDK consolidates many of the existing domain APIs into a new uniform structure and introduces new functionality with the Directory API and Reports API. </li><li><b>Google+ API for businesses</b>: The new <a href="http://googleappsdeveloper.blogspot.com/2013/05/admin-sdk-and-google-apis-for-business.html">Google+ API</a> for businesses is now available as a pilot for developers who want to build apps that handle tasks like auto-provisioning Circles and reading or writing posts.</li></ul><b>Simplify your life:</b><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Gmail</b>: New <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/take-action-right-from-inbox.html">quick action buttons in Gmail</a> are designed to help you get things done faster and take action on an email without ever having to open it -- like opening a Google document that’s been shared with you or responding to a calendar invitation.

The conference this year focused on a growing trend that affects our lives at home, at work and at school: the move towards a multi-screen world. In this world, tablets and mobile phones are quickly becoming as commonplace—and as useful—as desktop and laptop computers. <br /><br />As you shift between devices, your experience should be seamless. And the same tools you use in your personal life should be available in the workplace, so you can work the way you live. To that end, here are some highlights from this week that are particularly relevant to our business, government and education customers—including tools for developers, features to simplify your life, and new ways to connect and collaborate with others. <br /><br /><b>Tools for developers:</b><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Google Cloud Platform</b>: We <a href="http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com/2013/05/ushering-in-next-generation-of.html" target="_blank">announced</a> that <a href="https://cloud.google.com/products/compute-engine" target="_blank">Google Compute Engine</a>—which provides a fast, consistently high-performance environment for running virtual machines—is now available to anyone by visiting <a href="https://cloud.google.com/products/compute-engine">cloud.google.com</a>.
