Promethean ACTIV board
The Promethean ACTIV board provides the most powerful solution available when you want to capture or present ideas using Kidspiration in front of a whole group of students.
Optimized for use on Promethean ACTIV boards, Kidspiration now includes shape and handwriting recognition making it easy to create graphic organizers by sketching symbols and links and writing text directly on the ACTIV board. Users are also able to move toolbars to the bottom of the ACTIV board screen for easy access by all students. When Kidspiration is used in conjunction with Promethean's software and ACTIVote system, users benefit from a fully embedded student response system - allowing the teacher to ask questions and collect feedback from every student on the fly and even paste the results as a chart into Kidspiration itself.
