 
Activwand
Bring a Little Magic into Your Classroom.
Teachers told Promethean that very small children couldn't
always reach the top of the Activboard, so they've introduced the Activwand.
It's 53cm
in length and
offer the functionality of a mouse. The Activwand allows smaller children or
ones sitting down to reach all parts of the board. It's designed with an 'easy-grip'
handle and 'easy-to-use' click button.
The Activwand is not just a 'pointing' instrument, it roll-overs
to reveal images and drop-down menus. It left-clicks, so operating software,
flash-based
content, webpages or multimedia is child's play
Activslate
Enhancing Interactivity in the Classroom.
Activslate is our wireless, fully integrated, A4 sized mini-board;
small enough to sit on your desk or to move around the classroom. It operates
using the Activpen, with the same precision on the Activboard.
Educational specialists
tell us that students are interacting more, not just with the Activboard,
but also with their teacher and with each other. Some
teachers want interaction with children sitting at their desk as well as
at the whiteboard. Other teachers wanted to be able to control the board from
anywhere in the classroom. The Activslate meets the needs of teachers and
students
alike. | | 
Activote
Give Your Pupils and Students a Voice.
Activote is Promethean’s integrated personal response
system that is designed to encourage whole class participation and enhance
learning. By enabling each pupil to “have a voice”, the opinions,
thought processes or feelings of a whole class can instantly be shared and
addressed accordingly.
This could be as straight forward as determining whether
pupils are following a lesson, or it could be the basis for planned discussion.
And it's all done by asking students to make a choice and click a button.
Capturing student responses when they are questioned can be a powerful tool
in influencing the direction of a lesson or the planning of future work.
Activote allows the answers of each pupil to be saved for retrieval later
- individually or as a class. Results can also be exported to Excel for record
keeping and further analysis where appropriate.
Deliberately simple to use (so that the technology doesn’t
interfere with the Teaching and Learning), the system is equally effective
in the Foundation Stage as it is within Higher Education. Although lower-case
lettered handsets are available for younger children, age differentiation
is made mainly through the choice of either piece of Promethean’s award-winning
software (Activprimary or Activstudio).
Enriching learning in this way is available to everyone
as Activote works with any interactive whiteboard. It also has the ability
to work independently of an interactive whiteboard, making it a mobile solution
too. Communicating through radio technology eliminates the need for students
to point devices in order to cast their vote.
Flexibility is key in any learning environment hence why
Activote can be used is several ways. Integrated into Promethean’s
software it can be used ad-hoc, allowing teachers to ask unplanned questions
as they occur. However, it also works effortlessly over any application or
website. Similarly, teachers can choose between using the supplied pre-prepared
content and easily making their own with the aid of the inbuilt Question
Master Wizard.

The Activpanel is a 15 inch LCD mini-board, typically
mounted onto a lecturn, and plugs directly into your PC. The Activpanel
displays exactly what is on your PC, and it can be operated in the same
way using the wireless Activpen.

hundreds of teacher-designed resources to your PC. There are over 5,000
flipcharts, images, backgrounds,
shapes, annotations and activities waiting for you to use.
Activtablet
Prepare Your Interactive Lessons Anywhere.
Time conscious teachers tell us they prepare their lessons
wherever they can, at home or in the staff room. Out Activtablet allows
teachers to prepare their Activboard lessons away from the interactive
whiteboard, and to simulate the its features for flipchart preparation.
Teachers can also practice using the Activprimary or Activstudio out of
the class and without distruption.
The Activtablet is an A5 sized mini-board
which plugs directly into your PC. Portable, with its own Activpen, Activpanel
is the ideal preparation
companion.
