ActivInspire is a fun, friendly, relentlessly versatile time-saver for teachers. Educators choose how they interface with ActivInspire – sophisticated for secondary, bright and inviting for primary. Lessons come to life in full colour video, sound and graphics – a bounty of flipcharts, backgrounds, images and activities are included and ready for use. Students can download a personal version for free to review the day’s lessons at home.
But best of all, ActivInspire is more than just a pretty interface. Fully functional, integrated tools like protractors, rulers, dice and shape recognition make the on-screen experience a real-world example unlike any other, and connectivity with Promethean Planet, the world’s largest online lesson planning and support community for interactive whiteboard users, makes the potential lesson nearly limitless.
Promethean’s Learner Response Systems are creating a revolution in education through devices offering unprecedented opportunities for student involvement AND assessment. Each learner response device gives individual students a voice while equipping teachers with a revolutionary tool for delivering dynamic lessons tailored to the immediate assessment of student performance.
Classroom participation is a huge (and sometimes complicated) part of the learning experience. It takes courage to speak up, and nearly psychic abilities to know who understands the lesson. ActiVote offers teachers and students a clearer answer—a friendly Learner Response System that makes sure every voice counts.
With A–F voting capability, a fun to hold shape and intuitive buttons, ActiVote makes 100% class participation fast, fun and easy. Students build confidence with every vote and can track their progress through both instant feedback and scores tallied over time. Teachers find that spontaneity enters the classroom with ActiVote—polling can be performed on the fly, debate can be started at the drop of a hat, and assessment guesswork ends. ActiVote can download student results into spreadsheets and lesson plans for clear achievement records over time, and no one worries whether they’ll be called on and called out in front of the class.
Students have amazing things on their minds, and very little of it fits the standard multiple choice format. ActivExpression turns question and answer into query, communicate and check comprehension. Full text-capability enables students to respond in full sentences as well as in numbers, symbols, math equations, true/false, Likert scales and more. Self-Paced Learning allows teachers to assign full quizzes of varying difficulty and gives students the opportunity to register answers at their own pace. Teachers can alter the assignment’s length of time to challenge learners.
Question Leveling is used for differentiated instruction. Teachers customize the level of each question to target learner profiles and enable students to venture deeper into the curriculum.
Familiar Form offers students a fun wireless communication tool like those they’re already used to connecting with. Wire-free radio connectivity means ActivExpression works anywhere in the classroom with no line-of-sight needed.
Wonder Wheel interface floats over (and can be used with) most applications for full class participation and engagement throughout the entire lesson.
