It’s a perfect base on which you can build a full Multimedia Learning Experience. The Antiglare Surface from Promethean enables us to work seamlessly for hours together. The Active Inspire Software provides a lot of advanced tools which in turn help the teachers to prepare their lesson plans well in advance.
