Promethean Launches New Display Boards With Learning Software
Promethean has unveiled a new line of
interactive displays that come with a software package that allows
teachers to use
learning materials without the need to connect to a computer.
This
new generation of the ActivPanel offers a choice
of full HD and 4K Ultra HD displays. The HD displays have three options
that range
in size from 55 to 75 inches while the 4K displays also are available
in three
sizes, from 65 to 84 inches. The displays can be mounted in a fixed
position or
on a mobile stand that can be moved from place to place within and
between
classrooms.
Each
ActivPanel also ships with a digital pen
that allows teachers and students to write, annotate and hover over the
screen,
in addition to the typical touch screen commands. Finally, there is a
variety
of connectivity options, including HDMI, VGA, USB 3.0 and OPS.
Each
display panel comes with the Modern
Classroom suite of products that includes a new external
Android device that
teachers can use to deliver content directly to the interactive display
board. ClassFlow
is an interactive
lesson delivery system that provides interactive and collaborative use
of
classroom devices, digital curriculum and assessments for learning.
ClassFlow
Desktop is an app for Windows and Mac OS that allows teachers to
instantly turn
anything displayed on a desktop into interactive lesson content on the
ActivPanel.
"Ease
of use and
efficiency continue to emerge as key requirements in the education
sector,"
said Ian Curtis, head of Europe, Africa and Australasia for Promethean.
"We've
succeeded in addressing these whilst at the same time designing an
upgradeable
solution which will protect the investment schools make in the
ActivPanel
displays."
