Promethean ActivBoard and its impact on learning in the classroom
- http://www.prometheanworld.com/en-us/education/products/interactive-displays/activboard-300-pro
I learned that the ActivBoard is a interactive whiteboard where students can engage in learning with sound, media, pictures, digital tools and many other resources. Using the ActivBoard can increase students interest in learning because they are in an integrated environment. The ActivBoard works with Promethean software and has USB power, two USB ports and simplifies the connection to your computer. It is downloaded onto your computer and is used with Windows, Mac and Linux. Studies have shown that using the ActivBoard decreases students confusion and disengagement. Also, it enhances collaboration and has two ActivPens which are used simultaneously during lessons.
One question that came to mind while I was reading about the ActivBoard was why do schools prefer to use this board rather than the SMART board or other interactive white boards. What is so special about the ActivBoard?
