Week 8 Post (Required)

I found the following site regarding the use of the Promethean ActivBoard. This site provides lots of information about this kind of white board. There is a link for educators to view case studies on the use of this board within classrooms. I think that this kind of technology is a viable option to incorporate into the classroom, because it seems like a leading and ground breaking technology in the realm of education. The site states that the Promethean ActivBoard's aim is to "unlock the potential of human achievement in education and training around the world at all ages around the world." While I learned more about what the Activboard is through this site, I am still curious as to how this interactive board compares to the SMART board--their similarities and differences as well as which one is best in the classroom. The Promethean Activboard is painted in a very good light on this site, most likely since it is a good interactive tool and also since the site is trying to sell the Activboard to educators. The site claims that the Activeboard "brings learning to life!"
