Promethean ActivBoard has Huge Impact at Ashford School
This case study is a quick overview of the impact that introducing the Promethean ActivBoard had on an all girls school. One of the teachers said she doesn't know how she ever taught before it, and another said that when she first saw the board she instantly thought of all the ways she could teach with it. One student said that the board was better than the teacher. The overview said that the ActivBoard could be used anyway a normal white board could be used, but also it can be used anyway a computer can be used, which makes incorporating multimedia sources into teaching a cinch. The article also said the board helps dyslexic children learn and helps all children to be more engaged in their learning. The article said a few features the board has includes handwriting recognition and adding notes or special affects to digital resources. The article ended by giving a description of the wireless response system which allows teachers to have instant feedback as to students understanding.
My biggest question about the Promethean ActivBoard is: Is the ActivBoard better or worse then the SmartBoard? How do they differ? How are they similar?
My second question is in regards to the student's statement about the board being better than teachers. Is the ActivBoard and or SmartBoard going to eventually make teaching obsolete? Will teachers do less teaching then the actual board?
