children and came away with new

ideas. TAIK will continue to invest inteacher-training so as to ensure that

our teachers are kept up to date

with the latest developments in

educating young children.

Why is TAIK using thePromethean ActivBoard?

growing online teaching community

with over 200,000 teachers now

interactive teaching content across

the globe.

The Activboard brings all of thesights and sounds of interactive

learning to life in an ActivClass.

Pick up the wireless Activpen,

touch it to the screen and the e-

journey begins. The Activboard is

fully integrated with the award-

winning Act ivpr imary lesson

development software, granting

TAIK teachers instant access to

thousands of resources and sample

lessons. Teachers and students can

hover over icons with the Activpento reveal their function. The

Activboard is built tough - to

withstand rough handling by

children.

Best of all, it’s a fully integrated

solution meaning its features are as

simple to use as they are dynamic

to experience. With Promethean’s

Activboard, TAIK teachers caneasily create engaging lessons and

captivate our students with a fresh

approach to learning. A learning

that they can see, touch, hear and,

most importantly, understand.
