The company’s Activclassroom solutions help educators motivate, engage, and educate learners all around the world. The company offers three applications including Activboard, the world’s most durable interactive whiteboard technology; Activstudio, a software platform for secondary teaching; and Activprimary, the only product designed specifically for use in primary schools and kindergarten. To help outside the classroom, Promethean offers training and support to ensure maximum results and return on investment, while also hosting the world’s largest online interactive whiteboard community.
“Educators are increasingly leveraging multiple technologies to enhance teaching and learning within the classroom,” stated Mark Elliott, President of Promethean. “Our partnership with Simtrol reinforces our commitment to providing integrated solutions for education and establishes the Promethean Activclassroom as the unifying platform for integrating these technologies and simplifying the lives of teachers and administrators.”
“School systems will immediately benefit from our integrated device management capabilities that enable management of assets at the classroom, school, and district levels. We are excited to partner with a visionary company like Promethean to offer our device management expertise to improve the educational experience and help schools to reduce operating costs,” said Oliver Cooper, Simtrol’s CEO.
