ATLANTA (March 24, 2017) Promethean™, a global education technology solutions provider, was a finalist in four categories of EdTech Digest’s Cool Tool Awards: Hardware Solution, Emerging Technology Solution, Presentation Solution, and Classroom Management Solution for Teachers.
EdTech Digest’s annual awards program recognizes people and companies in education for outstanding contributions in transforming education through technology. Featuring edtech’s best and brightest, the annual recognition program shines a spotlight on cool tools, inspiring leaders, and innovative trendsetters.
“It’s an honor to be recognized among edtech’s best and brightest,” said Vince Young, chief marketing officer of Promethean. “Promethean has significantly expanded our solutions’ capabilities within the past year, and being shortlisted in four categories reaffirms our commitment to creating immersive tools that empower teachers and motivate students to learn.”
Listed as a Hardware Solutions finalist, the ActivPanel™ is the true connected hub of the classroom. Powered with an externally accessible Android™ based processor, the ActivPanel allows users to update its performance capabilities easily. This simplifies the device maintenance process and protects the investment that schools make in interactive panel displays.
The new ActivPanel with InGlass™ touch and writing technology offers a natural and smooth writing experience that is precise and lag-free. The ActivPanel provides a digital whiteboard, saving and sending capabilities, and a simultaneous touch and pen surface.
Shortlisted for Presentation Solution and Classroom Management Solution for Teachers, ClassFlow™ is the free, next-generation lesson delivery software for interactive touchboards. Simplifying the way teachers deliver and engage with interactive learning, ClassFlow allows teachers to:
- Present engaging pen or touch-based lessons on any brand of interactive classroom display
- Foster collaboration and self-management skills with free ClassFlow student accounts
- Send quizzes, polls, and activities to students using laptops, Chromebooks™, tablets, smartphones, or learner response clickers
- Promote parent engagement as an instructional strategy with the free ClassFlow Moments app
- Recognize outstanding student behavior by sending digital badges to students and parents
- Discover thousands of interactive lessons, resources, and activities from educators around the world in the ClassFlow Marketplace
In addition to ActivPanel and ClassFlow, Promethean, in conjunction with ARHT Media, Inc., was a finalist under the Emerging Technology Solution category for the HumaGram™ of Ron Clark. HumaGrams are ultra-enhanced holograms that “beam” a speaker or presenter to anywhere in the world and to multiple places at the same time – in real time and brilliant 3D.
Last year, teacher, author and school founder Ron Clark delivered the keynote address for Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District’s Rigor, Relevance and Relationships (RRR) Conference as a 3D human hologram from ARHT Media, Inc. The Ron Clark HumaGram was the first time that this augmented holographic technology was used to deliver teacher and administrator training in an educational setting.
