Case Study: Houston County High School

Making Social Studies Come Alive

"Student participation is no problem in Jaqui Wilson’s Social Studies classes. Encouraged to participate in group discussions after anonymous voting with the Activote hand held response devices. Maps and history are larger than life on the Promethean Activboard."

Challenges and Goals

Houston County High School , as well as many other schools in this district, has installed the Promethean Activclassroom System in many of their classrooms.

Today, the high school has 15 complete Activboard systems that include wall-mounted Activboard interactive whiteboards with the built-in Activstudio software tools and resources, and the wireless Activslate, allowing teachers and students to control the whiteboard from anywhere in the classroom. Additionally, each room has access to a set of Activotes, 32 hand-held voting devices that provide teachers with instant student feedback. Finally, each teacher received an Activtablet, allowing them to develop lessons and flip charts with Activstudio when away from the board.
