Promethean Debuts Cloud-based Classroom Tool

A new cloud-based classroom tool aims to help teachers build lessons, deliver materials and monitor student comprehension from their mobile device.

ClassFlow, from Promethean, enables teachers to create, deliver and share lesson plans online, from any web browser. Teachers can use the tool to connect classroom displays, whiteboards, and projectors to students' mobile devices. ClassFlow also allows teachers to drive the lesson, from any location in the classroom, using their handheld device. The tool comes with a student response and polling capability.

ClassFlow will be available, in English, at no charge for US teachers beginning January 2014. Additional information about the tool is available online.
