ActivBoards, created by Promethean, are an exceptional educational & presentation tool. In essence, the ActivBoard is an interactive white board that allows teachers to synchronize the workings of their computer, the ActivBoard and video projector. There are numerous applications for this technology, ranging from assessment to lesson design to student motivation, and these will be further explored in posts to come. Hopefully this post will serve to wet your appetite for more information about ActivTechnology.
In short, here's what you can do with an ActivBoard in your classroom or presentation room:
- Display any document that you have on your computer
- Annotate over the document (making a permanent or temporary mark on the document)
- Watch videos & make stop time markings
- Involve students in interactive learning opportunities (Flash Media, etc.)
- Create lessons and flip charts (similar to Power Point presentations)
- Conduct real-time pre-assessments, summative assessments, and formative assessments using ActivVote devices
In coming days I'll further explore the benefits and drawbacks of these and other applications.
