 ActivPanel Pick 6 Back-to-School Kickoff promotion is available to preK-12 customers in the United States and the District of Columbia. (U.S. territories not eligible) Offer is only applicable on orders with a minimum of (6) 70” ActivPanel units. For every 6 units of 70” ActivPanels purchased at a reduced price, in a single order, purchasers in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia can choose between two options: 1 (6 hour) day of Professional Development OR 6 ActivPanel Mobile Stands.  The Professional Development option is not available to purchasers in Alaska and Hawaii, therefore the offer in those states is for every 6 ActivPanel units purchased, the customer is entitled to 6 ActivPanel Mobile Stands at a reduced price. Eligible customers can choose to receive all stands with their purchase or a combination of stands and days of Professional Development, however, a maximum 3 full days of Professional Development can be earned per customer regardless of the number of ActivPanels ordered. Additionally, ActivPanels must be ordered in increments of 6 so an eligible customer who orders 11 ActivPanels will only get 1 day of Professional Development or 6 stands. By way of example only, if an eligible customer purchases 40 ActivPanel Units, the customer can choose up to 3 days of Professional Development so the remaining benefit under the promotion would entitle the customer to 18 stands.  Alternatively, the customer could choose less days of Professional Development which would correspond to the customer receiving more stands. Promotional pricing and bundle offer applies to qualifying orders received August 24, 2016 through close of business PST December 2, 2016. If an eligible customer chooses Professional Development days with their purchase, they must be scheduled AND used by May 1, 2017 or it will be forfeited by the customer.  The Professional Development Day delivery date is subject to availability of Promethean Education Consultants. All Professional Development delivery days must be scheduled with a minimum of 10 days’ notice to Promethean for travel purposes.  Each Professional Development Day shall have no more than18 participants per session.  Each day shall consist of 6 hours of Professional Development.  The full six hours must be used in one day and will not be split into multiple days. Additional days requested require consultation with your Solution Sales Executive and are subject to additional cost.  Offer is not available with special bid pricing or volume pricing.

Chromebooks Are The Next Big Thing

by . Posted on
Acer Chromebooks are the talk of the education realm.  Chromebooks take only seconds to start up and provide users with thousands of different apps, virus-protection, and a cloud to store and save data. According to Chris Smith, Director of Education Technology Communication Services Bath Central School District in New York, with the use of technology (such as chromebooks), “teacher’s roles [are shifting] to become supporters of learning and [helping] students understand what it means to be adaptable and collaborative” (Beyond Textbooks, p.3). Many schools are beginning to “flip” their learning by making students responsible for the independent study of material at home (that goes beyond more than just homework) while having teachers act as simply a guide in the classroom. With chromebooks, students are able to watch lectures or lessons while also having the opportunity to expand their learning horizons by participating in online tutorials… all from the comfort of their own homes, freeing up time in the classroom for more one-on-one learning experiences and interactive learning projects. Acer Chromebooks provide students with a new sense of independence. Now-a-days, students will need to possess a whole new set of skills in order to be successful in our technology-driven society. In the Bath Central School District, the IT department gained enough resources to connect their entire school district and are now able to focus their resources on curriculum and professional development, shifting the focus from the teacher to the student.Our future generations need to learn to become independent, collaborative, responsive students. Using Acer technology such as chromebooks, students can rely less on their teachers and more on themselves. Chromebooks and other technological sources allow students to apply what they’re learning to the real world using means such as video conferencing and blog sites.
