Active Inspire Software
The newest release of Promethean Software will be available in March. This software blends the best of the Windows and Mac Versions of the software creating an more user friendly module to access tools, resources library and the Promethean Planet. The look and feel of this latest version is smooth and dynamic. I think teachers who have been using the Active Studio software will be able to transition easily to this new sleek platform. I am sure it will win over a few of the Smart board users in the building as well. The Promethean Planet has a wealth of resources available to a classroom teacher and I am sure no matter which type of Interactive White Board you are currently using YOU WILL FIND some great resources to include in your classroom! I have been doing some advanced Promethean training and I am excited and hopeful that this new version will reduce some of the number of steps to completing some of the advanced processes. I know the placement of the resource library and the redesigned access panel have already won me over. The seamless integration of the ActivExpressions and the ActiVotes will reap added benefits in many classrooms. I look forward to sharing this tool in my classroom and with my staff!! The Primary and Standard Workspace are available in the same software piece. This allows you to toggle back and forth between the two versions much like you can now with design mode and active mode through the use of the Activsoftware Dashboard
This is the new Activsoftware Dashboard
The Student Database
This tool allows you to Edit YOUR Student Database and brings the best of the ActivExpression software which used to be a separate program right into you Active Studio screen. Putting the power of interaction with your students at your fingertips!!
Seamless integration of these powerful classroom tools!
The Resource Browser
This is the Resource Browser Window and it seems easier to navigate!
You can visit the Promethean Planet to take a sneak peek at this upcoming version of the software!!
