Here's what New Zealand teachers have to say about ActivBoard technology

'The software supplied with the board is amazing, it is great having so many resources at your fingertips. The flipcharts that are available to download have saved teachers hours of work and have been easy to adapt to suit the needs of students. Creating new flipcharts has also been very easy to do.

The training and support given by Envision has been excellent. The trainers are teachers themselves which means they understand the needs of teachers and have provided us with excellent ideas and resources. We are extremely pleased with our decision to go with Promethean ActivBoard.'

'Although it is a major investment, we have found ActivBoards to be entirely worth the money spent on them. Children are visual animals, being stimulated on a daily basis by different types of electronic media. The boards are big, bright, noisy, lively and most importantly collaborative and interactive.

The IWB has shown itself to be an unsurpassed tool for establishing sharing, co-operation and respect for one another in the classroom. Viscount School has definitely benefited from the installation of their ActivBoards and we look forward to further improved training and learning outcomes.'

Keith Gayford, Principal, Viscount Primary School, NZ

'What attracted me the most was the flexibility of the solution in terms of delivering the whole curriculum to our small rural school pupils, and also how visually appealing and simple the programme seemed. The wide range of resources was another draw card. Being rural we have multi-level classes and being able to meet individual learning needs though accessing and also creating a variety of learning opportunities and activities makes the solution a valuable teaching tool in any effective teacher's kit.

The response from the children has been outstanding and their involvement in this 'hands-on' technology has motivated them, developed creative and exploratory thinking as they search the tools, resources and various possibilities for presenting their work. The highly visual nature of the learning has been extremely engaging for all students.

The support from Envision has been excellent, from the initial efficient installation process through to the expert professional development that has been delivered at our site. The training received has been personalised to meet the varying needs of my teaching staff and highly effective.'

Dianne Prendergast, Principal, Lauriston School, NZ

'We were so impressed with the learning and motivation impact on both students and teachers with our initial investment; we have now put ActivBoards in nearly every classroom. As we all know, our students are digital learners and we as schools and teachers have to catch up.

The ActivBoard solution motivates and empowers teachers and students and has given Northern Southland College a new spring in its step. I believe ActivBoard technology is the next significant step forward in bringing interactive digital learning to the students today and tomorrow. You won't get me into a classroom without one now.'

Wayne Duncan, Deputy Principal, Northern Southland College, NZ

'Throughout the whole installation process we found Envision Presentations to be extremely professional. All work was completed to a high standard and in the desired timeframe. Envision responded to our many questions with patience and understanding; and the professional development for staff was superb with all skill levels catered for. The Facilitator presented the professional development in clear, comprehensible terms enabling staff to feel confident while learning about this new technology.'

'We enjoy excellent support; the large and growing user base, both in New Zealand and around the world means the product is well supported both hardware wise and by the growing community of teachers creating and sharing resources.

The ActivInspire software is excellent. Lessons can be pre-prepared and there is already a large library of New Zealand based content available'
