The Prometean ActiveBoard (and SmartBoard) is the technology of the twenty-first century. For teachers, it offers unlimited resources in an instant. Promethean Planet brings the teachers of the world together with resources they have used, and found helpful. It offers entertainment education, truly making learning fun. It is simple enough for kindergartners, and practical even for universities. It offers shy students the opportunity to be involved in the hands-on learning experience where they might not have been with traditional methods. It also offers multiple learning styles students who might be visual, kinesthetic, tactile or audio. The Promethean ActiveBoard allows students to learn not only curriculum, but to use tomorrow's technology today to prepare them for jobs that might not even exist yet.
Here is a link to "Promethean Video Case Study- Australia." This is where I found my information:

I am curious as to which unit came out first, the ActiveBoard or the SmartBoard? Which board has a more extensive database for premade lessons, and resources? Do students have access to all presentations used in the class?
I agree with you Josh! Do you think that students learn more from theses activities when compared to lecture or reading information and discussing it?
