The link that I found to be most helpful for researching the Promethean Board is located here:

One of the most interesting things that I researched in regards to the ActivBoard was the steadfast reference to relating to as many learning styles as possible within the classroom. Through this dynamic experience of visual, aural, kinesthetic and even logical interaction, the ActivBoard is a great tool for reaching students on their level. As typical students today are products of technology, this very advanced and developed technological tool is very applicable to students. It helps grab the attention of very distractible minds and keeps students focused on the lesson while allowing them to engage and interact with the material.
Question: How reliable is the technology and programming of the ActivBoard? Too often it seems that technical difficulties can ruin a lesson. What happens if entire units and segments revolve around the use of the ActivBoard and then the programming encounters an error or is corrupt?
I like that you talk about how the board appeals to the different learning styles. And you also have a valid question about how reliable the active board is.
