Having seen (via my RSS feeds) lots of whizzy gadgets coming out of the BETT show last week I was pleased to see the free video focused website TrueTube, which aims to help young people (and their educators) ‘think, speak out and act on important issues happening in the real world’, had been nominated for a Bett 2009 award. Some more snippets of information about True Tube and their service include:

- TrueTube kick start a debate on a topical or difficult issue by providing some short films and information as inspiration
- You can post your thoughts and send in your videos responding to the issues
