Promethean has revealed its next, ActivBoard 500 Pro-series. The ActivBoard 500 will enable the use of new and emerging multi-touch functionality, similar to that used in Apple and Microsoft (Windows 7) applications. This flexibility allows teachers to reach students in a variety of ways or modes, supporting a wider range of learning types. Users will have the ability to easily move and scale objects with finger-touch using natural hand movements, in conjunction with the precision of the ‘pen’ for tasks such as writing or drawing. This offers a more intuitive and efficient way of performing tasks and allows for more collaborative classroom activities.
