Promethean offers GITEX visitors chance to experience latest classroom technology

Among these technology giants, Promethean, an international leader in interactive learning technologies will be showcasing their newest ActivClassroom solutions at GITEX.

In particular Promethean invites attendees to gain first hand experience with ActivExpression.

The latest addition to its learner response range: ActivExpression can feed a full text response straight to an interactive whiteboard.

At GITEX, daily competitions will be hosted by Promethean inviting visitors to use Learner Response technology to communicate their answers to a series of questions posed on the Activboard+2 for the chance to win a variety of prizes.

It is hoped that this opportunity to personally experience their latest product range will demonstrate to education stakeholders the potential that such technology presents in the education realm.

Promethean's education solutions have already raised the interests across the UAE's education realm.

"Promethean is experiencing a significant increase in demand for our interactive learning technology products in the Middle East and our presence at GITEX will allow educators interested in interactive learning technology to gain a full understanding of how the Activ-product range can be used to light the flame of learning."

Majeed Sharaf, Promethean's Vice President, Middle East.

Promethean's Learner Response Systems form a part of the complete ActivClassroom solution.

ActivExpression utilises student familiarity of the mobile phone text function and graphs this into the education process by allowing students to communicate using a keypad to complete written and numerical responses back to their teacher via radio-frequency.

Learner Response Systems are designed to give students a voice; they not only encourage participation but also more comprehensive responses as students can respond with more evaluative answers beyond the limits of a 'yes/ no' response or a class vote.

In turn teachers trade manual collating time for real-time teaching as the technology streams class feedback straight to the board for review.

Pressing all the right buttons in the industry, ActivExpression is a logical advancement in education technology and expected to be a welcome development in the learning process.
