I don't use a Promethean but I have a SMARTboard and I agree that this changes the face of learning. A possible replacement of this could be a tablet used by each student.
ReplyDeleteWe use the SmartBoard as well but, I have had the opportunity to experiment with the Promethean and in a sense it better than the SmartBoard because to me it is more user friendly. However, we have to go along with whatever the school system decide and the technology specialist.
