Ok so you don't want to admit that you haven't but just a small clue regarding what is a Promethean Board. You aren't alone! As parents we might not be 'in the know' but the teachers & kids are!!! Click here for a simple definition and click here for a YouTube demonstration. Boards Get Brains, Chalk Vanishes by David Cohn, Wired online magazine, explains how interactive whiteboards can help differentiate classroom learning to make it more engaging. See excerpts: ...the real virtue of the interactive whiteboard is in showing students how to use the computer. "Instead of handing a kid a laptop and saying 'good luck,' it's nice to be able to model something for them," Bang said. And because the system works like a computer, most teachers have little problem picking it up right away and using it to teach their students. "That is part of what is ingenious about Smart Technologies' board -- it is immediately familiar," said Columbia elementary school's Mishler. GM Teachers "I want to express my appreciation for the Promethean board projector you purchased for my students.  The new technology component has added an exciting dimension to the learning in our classroom.  The students are eager to use the board – I am amazed by what kindergartners can do!  Thank you again for investing in my classroom." - -  Janie Hutcherson "Hooray, Hooray!  I got my promethean board today!  Thank you so much for all of the work you’ve done to provide these for our classrooms.  I can’t wait to really get going with this great technology resource.  Thanks for choosing us to be the “pioneers” for kindergarten.  It’s just in time for me to use our “farm unit” flipcharts that our team created for our team technology project." - -  Denise Porter GM Students Thanks for giving my class and school promethean boards.  They are cool and awesome because you don’t need to have to use a white board or a marker.--Tay B. Thank you for the promethean board.  You guys are the coolest people for that.  The board makes learning more fun.-- Becky D. The promethean boards they are so helpful. Now we don’t have to take the pain of erasing and instead of writing all the words you can just type them. Thank you for the boards.-- Zach ......Some schools don’t ever have them. There are games and flip charts on the board. We are so fortunate.--Marshall Thank you for providing the promethean boards in all of our classrooms. We all love to do our work on it and play with it! It has also affected learning because we used to use the white boards and that was boring, but now everyone loves to pay attention to the board.  Again, thank you soooo much!--Caroline S. Without the promethean boards, I might not be able to understand the subjects as well as I do now.  Thank you.-- Rachel W. Thank you for providing us with the wonderful promethean board. We use it every day. It is really fun because it teaches us in a fun way.  You guys are really nice.--Connor W. ..............We love using the promethean board because you can draw stuff so easy. The flip charts are great and I learn a lot. Thanks again G.M. Foundation -- Blake Thank you so much for providing us with all of the promethean boards. They are so much fun.  They make every lesson fun. You were so kind to provide them for us.--Hannah L.
