of the Promethean ActivClassroom on Student Achievement."
|
 |
|
In the study’s preliminary results, the Marzano Research Lab found that utilization of the Promethean ActivClassroom leads to immediate and sustainable improvement in student achievement. Students taught with the Promethean ActivClassroom achieved 17 percentile points higher on average, than students taught by the same teacher, teaching the same content, using traditional teaching methods.

New document camera expands functionality of 21st century
classrooms with interactive whiteboards.
|
|
A new generation of document cameras is hitting the market. Some of those cameras are taking on a greatly expanded role in today’s interactive classrooms. For example, the new 3Cam™ Classroom Camera from Logical Choice Technologies was especially designed to work with interactive whiteboards (IWB’s) like the Promethean ActivBoard or a SMART Board.
|
Teachers using this new “3-in-One” classroom camera can better engage their students by: 1) Showing live 3Cam images on their IWB’s, 2) Capturing a photo or recording a full motion video clip which can be pasted into an IWB lesson plan or PowerPoint, and 3) Utilizing the 3Cam as a simple, low-cost distance learning tool.

Promethean unveils All-New ActivClassroom 300-Series
Upgraded and completely redesigned, the new ActivClassroom adds more tools to ignite learning and at a more affordable price point.
|
| |
|
|
NECC 2009 -- Promethean drew standing-room only crowds as they introduced the long anticipated redesign of its award winning ActivClassroom solution. New lower pricing was also announced to foster greater affordability. The all-new 300-Series ActivBoard and its new ActivInspire Professional Edition software boast significant new upgrades. Designed to cultivate collaborative learning by expanding features, tools and resource integration capabilities. |
|
More Value at New Lower Price Points
The new 87” ActivBoard 387, which may well become the most popular size, offers the key benefit of more teaching space, but does so at a price point comparable to Promethean’s prior 78” model. The new trio of 300-Series ActivBoards (the 78”, 87” and 95” ActivBoards) are all priced $200 below the prior models of the same size. Promethean Business Partners such as Logical Choice Technologies offer further savings with their bundled ActivClassroom solutions which all include professional installation by certified installers.

|
|
Washington, DC -- Representatives from Transform were on hand for the first in a series of hearings that the House Committee on Education and Labor is holding to explore how technology-based education tools are transforming American education. |
|
Lisa Shot, a middle school teacher from Montgomery County (MD) Public Schools, presented to the Committee using the same Promethean ActivClassroom technology that she uses in her own classroom. Shot demonstrated to the congressional committee how this technology is better engaging her students and reported how it is lifting achievement in her classroom. Her full testimony is most enlightening for congressmen and educators alike.
