Promethean ActivBoards

An Activboard looks like a giant computer screen which is operated with a pen shaped mouse.  The image from the computer is projected on to the interactive whiteboard, turning it into a very large computer screen for all to see and use. It is touch sensitive and can be controlled either by writing or clicking on the board with the Activpen, directly from a computer or by using an Activslate that can be passed around the classroom. 

 

Teachers and students can write and draw as they would on a regular whiteboard, and can also pull together thousands of global and New Zealand resources to support learning. There are many tools which make teaching and learning easier, increasing student engagement and lesson momentum. It is not just a tool for teachers, it is a tool for student learning too.

 

Visual learners engage best with images and other visual media, and react well to the bright, colourful world of the interactive whiteboard. Auditory learners respond best to auditory stimuli, such as verbal reinforcement, group activities, and class discussions. Kinaesthetic learners prefer the tactile sense, learning best with hands-on activities.

 

Our students love it!
