Teaching resource now in Malta 13/03/2009 Teachers across Malta and Gozo have been invited to join the largest global on-line community of teachers – over 280,000 – gaining access to some 10,000 teaching resources for free. This was announced at the Informatix Fair, at the Malta Fairs and Convention Centre, Ta’ Qali, where Forestals had a stand to launch the Promethean range of interactive whiteboards, backed by software and content to enable lessons to be more attractive and inspiring to students in the classroom. Alejandro Gutierrez of Promethean, makers of the ActivBoard range, invited teachers to log on the www.prometheanplanet.com and register for free to gain immediate access to the free content. Forestals is marketing three versions of the ActivBoard: the 78, the 95 and the +2. Both the ActivBoard 78 and the ActivBoard +2 have a board size of 78 inches (with an active area measuring 1,642 mm x 1,160 mm) while that of the ActivBoard 95 is 95 inches (active area of 1,930 mm x 1,448 mm). Promethean has devised a suite of tools, called ActivClassroom, to promote a unique educational experience which is now available to all those involved in education in Malta and Gozo. These include dedicated software to bring the whiteboards to life in bright colour, full movement and hands-on interaction; Learner Response Systems; one-to-one learning; and tools to engage students in the learning environment. Mr Gutierrez conducted a number of demonstrations on the Forestals stand at the Informatix Fair, apart from holding one-on-one meetings with the education authorities.
