Promethean World

Or at least it wasn’t for stand-up comedian Romesh Ranganathan when he returned to life as a maths teacher for a day, armed with an artillery of the latest and greatest education technologies – including an 84” Promethean ActivPanel.

Children from schools across London were involved in the judging of a new category at this year’s Bett Awards. Following a visit to Bett, the students voted on their favourite exhibitor stands and products.

Promethean has been shortlisted for two awards in this year’s Educational Resource Awards (ERAs).

In August 2015 David Cameron announced that every school in England will be given academy status by 2020. The move means that schools will be taken out of local authority control, and instead be directly funded by the Department for Education.

Promethean’s ActivPanel has been shortlisted in the “Interactive Display Product of the Year” category at the 18th annual AV Magazine Awards.

NetDragon is pleased to announce that the Company’s interactive flat panel displays have been selected by the City of Moscow to be installed in over 7,600 classrooms.

Holograms and computer generated imagery have been used to bring rapper Tupac Shakur back from the dead and to recreate characters from past Star Wars films. But can they be part of the educational landscape?

The new National Funding Formula (NFF) will see a staggering 9,128 schools face budget cuts, with some schools losing up to 3 per cent over two years after the NFF is introduced.
