Who's got a Dual-User Activboard?

[LisaD]

I've seen that Promethean now has a new Activboard called the Activboard 300 Pro which has built in dual user capability.

See this link:

I also see that there is an upgrade available for existing Activboard (most models) called Activarena.

Anyone gotten their hands on either of these yet?

Yes we have the Dual User pens. They are awesome!

Tell us about it! I'm dying to know how it works! Have you had the chance to use it with students yet?

Don't worry, Lisa.

I am too waiting for it to take place in Singapore

I ordered mine on the 15th and am patiently awaiting it's arrival. The reseller said to give about a 2 week since it gets shipped from Promethean. I'm super excited.

Lisa you can come over and play when I get it since you're just down the street. The kids start on the 10th so give it a couple of days and you can check it out in the classroom assuming I have it by then.

Isnt this feature just a gimmick?
Im interested in seeing how often this feature will be used?

I used this features at Partner Meeting in June and it is great thing that you should have an experience. There are two toolbox, one is for teacher and one is for student. Pens are totally different than current ones. It is not rounded so thus it does not drop to the ground from table by rolling. Right click is moulded and no risk for loosing :)

New boards....Super. I loved it. It is like a big LCD TV with black frame.

In Turkey we will start to sell within a 2 weeks, they are on the way coming to Istanbul :)

Thanks Promethean who developped this.

Ours was installed a week ago, but school is starting up and I haven't had time to play. Maybe Saturday. We only have one board like this and I have 40+ techers who want to upgrade, not to just dual pens, but to this board.

[LisaD]

Other than dual user functionality, what makes the other teachers want to upgrade to this board and not just upgrade their existing boards? Which board do you have? It is the Activboard 300 Pro, I assume? Just curious.
