(Blackburn, 16th April 2015) – In an effort to increase the impact of classroom instruction, Reepham Primary School in Lincoln has equipped each classroom with the latest interactive flat panel display from Promethean. The Promethean ActivPanel creates collaborative create collaborative learning experiences and provide pupils with a robust instructional display solution for education environments. In each classroom Reepham removed the legacy SMART® Board and replaced it with the new Promethean ActivPanel.
Supplied and installed by Promethean reseller partner, Education Lincs, Reepham is already realising the benefits of the latest teaching technology. Ian Randall, Reepham Primary Headteacher, said: “We wanted to move to the latest front of classroom technology but also had to ensure we were investing in a solution which was designed for daily teaching. Having reviewed the products available, we felt the Promethean ActivPanel features provided exactly what our teachers and pupils needed.”
Offering a robust, full-high-definition screen combined with award-winning ActivInspire™ software, the ActivPanel has given Reepham teachers a powerful teaching tool to deliver engaging multimedia lessons and ultimately increase student engagement. The ActivPanel enables content to be viewed with great clarity, even at wide viewing angles, with a low-glare, low-reflectivity surface.
Ian continued: “We had no concerns over the potential of the glass surface becoming too hot to use and now the ActivPanels are in daily use, this has been confirmed – no finger burn!”
As a robust “front-of-class” interactive teaching solution available in 55”, 65”, 70” high-definition and 84” ultra-high-definition displays, the ActivPanel facilitates collaborative learning opportunities for all classroom sizes.
Supporting a full-range of learning experiences, including whole class, small team and individual classwork, the ActivPanel allows students to simultaneously share ideas, practice team-based problem solving and manipulate images.
In addition to ActivInspire software, which comes standard and has been optimised for use on the ActivPanel interface, Reepham Primary can also access Promethean Planet’s 90,000+ free teaching resources and online professional development.
Ian Curtis, Head of Western Europe, Africa & ANZ, concluded: “At Promethean we continually strive to motivate students by introducing them to a more collaborative approach to learning.
“Interactive Flat Panels are next generation technology in the UK and demand from schools is extremely high. With the ActivPanel we’ve given schools a solution which truly addresses the demands of a classroom environment and are committed to building on this even further by continuing product development based on feedback from schools.”
