-----Original Message----- From: Michelle Hall <mgremlin@NTELOS.NET> To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Date: Sat, 18 Oct 2008 06:04:54 -0400 Subject: [LM_NET] Target: Promethean Board Hello, We are updating our school library and I want to know if people with Promethean Boards like them. What are the advantages over a Smart Board? What are the limitations? Do you have any other technology that you think is fantastic? Thank you, Michelle Hall Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind Staunton Virginia mgremlin@ntelos.net Many people were curious about Promethean Boards and asked for a 'Hit'. These were the two best responses. The second response will take you to a website that has some wonderful information for anyone who is curious to learn more. 1. Our K-12 district recently reevaluated our choice of SMART vs Promethiean vs Mimeo interactive white boards. The result was overwhelming in favor of SMART. The first issue was the SMART software. The next were hardware issues....you must use a pen with a Promethean Board which is not the case with SMART. The Promethean Board is a very hard and noisy surface. The SMART is not. SMART requires vendors and technicians to complete extensive training which only benefits their clients. We have been very happy with our SMART choice.

I have put together a list of resources for my teachers - you may find some information at these links http://www.dillon2.k12.sc.us/technology -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
