Do Be tune in

A small company in Dalgety Bay providing resources to show teachers how to use new and existing technologies like Nintendo Wii in classrooms has

trebled its market in the last nine months and is anticipating sign-up from a further 700 schools in England this month.

Do Be Ltd launched its latest product, Teach-It, at the NEC Education Show

in March this year, providing a fast and effective route to market as teachers and

local authority budget holders flocked to “Innovation Alley” at the show to watch

how planning a world tour on Guitar Hero can be used to help teachers deliver

numeracy, literacy and health and wellbeing lessons.

The three-year-old company was supported in this latest development

by funding from the Fife Investment Fund, managed by Business Gateway

for Fife Council. Carron Smith of Business Gateway said, “Do Be clearly

had a great concept and a solid business plan but needed help to reach the

market quickly. Support from the Fife Investment Fund helped them exhibit

at the NEC and sign up 300 English schools at the show, which opens up a

new market for them on top their Scottish success so far.”.
