(ATLANTA – Aug. 17, 2015) – Promethean Planet, one of the world’s largest online collaborative communities for educators, today celebrates continued growth with membership surpassing 2 million educators from around the world. Created by teachers for teachers, Promethean Planet is an open community where educators can access and share digital resources as well as get ideas and advice from their peers on how to best utilize digital tools.
“As teachers prepare for back to school, Promethean Planet is an excellent resource community for lesson ideas, content and peer support,” said Scott Cary, Chief Marketing & Products Officer at Promethean. “With new technology entering more and more classrooms, teachers are increasingly looking for ways to incorporate interactive digital content into their curriculum. Promethean Planet not only offers resource sharing for a teacher’s content area, but also ideas from fellow educators about how to leverage technology and digital content to enhance collaboration, creativity, problem-solving and critical thinking skills in classrooms of all grade levels.”
