The Promethean ActivBoard is very similar to the smart board. Like the smart board, the promethean activboard has many different features such as a touch screen, digital sounds, it can show pictures, moving objects, etc. It has an impact on learning because it better engages studnets and draws their attention in with it's amazing features. Unlike a white board, with the promethean activboard you don’t use dry erase markers on it. You can see it is much more, it is a PC, a VCR, a flipchart, a PowerPoint, a DVD player, an interactive lesson with your students, a center during class, the Internet, a TV for special events and more. An ActivBoard can be attached to a PC, either a laptop or a desktop running ActivStudio Professional or ActivPrimary for Elementary Schools K-2. Also standard with our ActivBoards are speakers with an Amplifier and a DVD/VCR. Along the line we will be adding a document camera, but you can also attach an ELMO and other devices to the ActivBoard.
I think the promethean activboard board sounds very amazing. However, I am wondering if the promethean activboard is better than the smart board? The smart board is very user friendly, however, I do not know how the promethean activboard is to use for teachers and students.
