Promethean Activarena

Collaborate

Use multiple pens to interact with your Promethean board - infinite possibilities for your Activclassroom

In the ActivClassroom, everyone wants to come to the board. With ActivArena, students and teachers can assemble and contribute together. It's two people and two pens toward an endless environment of collaboration.

ActivArena turns our ActivBoard into an impromptu gathering point or a tutor's corner for one-on-one help sessions - all under the instructor's control. Teachers can choose to activate and deactivate the "intelligent" student pen. The idea revolutionizes interactive whiteboard technology, allowing two students to teach each other or students and teachers to work together - exponentially enriching the learning experience and enhancing the possibilities of every single lesson.

Promethean is the first-ever company to enable multiple inputs on an interactive whiteboard. The new interaction pack upgrades your Promethean board, transforming it into an Activarena, where you can use multiple pens to interact with your board.
Students and teachers can work together on the Activboard at the same time and classrooms become dynamic arenas for team-based activities, projects, competition, and group work.
Imagine the potential of two, three, or more students working together, or teachers working collaboratively with students at the same time. Transform your classroom with new tools that include multiple pens, activity templates, and software provided by Promethean.
Reinvent your classroom and capture your students' imagination.

Promethean Activote VR

Enables each pupil to have a voice: the opinions, thought processes or feelings of a whole class can instantly be shared - virtual response for your Activclassroom

Features | Downloads

Activote VR is a software version of Activote, the leading Learner Response System. It enables any networked classroom computers, laptops and handheld devices to behave as an Activote response system.

Activote VR screen shotLearners have a virtual voting device floating on the deskptop of their PC or MAC, and vote using a mouse or keyboard. Mix them up with part of the class using Activote and part using Activote VR and you won't know the difference, just the results.

As well as being fully integrated with Promethean's award winning Activprimary and Activstudio software, it can also be controlled using assistive technologies such as switch interfaces and voice control.

Use Activote VR to maximise your student technology investments while gaining the benefits of instantly tracking individual achievement. Whole class formative and summative assessment with student computing devices made easy.

Instant Assessment. Virtually.
Activote VR - the virtual Activote that helps you maximize your technology investment and knows how well your students understand the lesson. It acts like an Activote, looks like an Activote, and reports like one too. But students respond to questions directly on their computer. It can be used alone or in conjunction with real Activote pods.
Encourage student participation with Activote VR. Students enjoy giving their input and schools can use Activote in every class even the computer lab.
