As a side note, ActivInspire is one of my go-to applications for digital whiteboarding and interactive building in the classroom. While it took some getting used to not being able to look down at her art as she was creating it with the Bamboo, she took to the tablet pretty well, and enjoyed being able to manipulate her computer from afar. The wireless kit comes separately from the actual tablet, and includes a battery. The Wacom seems to have a bit finer fidelity than the Promethean tablet, and possess dimensions that almost mirrored the Macbooks we have in the district for teacher use. I will be working in a new school district in the fall. Did the see the massive size of the USB hub above for Promethean wireless devices?

Tablet Battle! Wacom Bamboo vs. Promethean ActivSlate – The Tech Savvy Educator

Did the see the massive size of the USB hub above for Promethean wireless devices? I have been using a Promethean board and Activslate sofyware my classroom for the past five years. Does not require an interactive display to function Connectivity: Wirelessly with the ActivHub 2.

Instant-on mode ensures immediate interactivity and reliable, wireless connectivity while sleep mode provides longer battery life. She uses her document camera for drawing examples, but that tethers her to her presenter podium. The hardware has proven to be effective and work almost flawlessly. When the district said they would no longer be the technological support for our HP Tablets, I took it upon myself to step outside of my comfort zone on behalf of my department and use the Wacom Tablet.

Unfortunately, this district is very limited in resources and does not use Promethean activxlate. While students enjoy interacting in front of the class at the ActivBoard, teachers also want connection and freedom sortware movement—to instruct from student desks, stimulate debates from the four corners of the room and direct lessons during group projects. Short charge time—Requires only 3 hours to attain full battery charge. The more acfivslate use it, the better it becomes.

I wish our district had the resources to outfit classrooms with whatever type of device teachers wanted, but alas, that time is far off. The ActivSlate is one of those work-duty grade devices, built to take a lot of abuse, tumbling, fumbling, and still work like a champ.

Students felt comfortable using either tablet, but the teachers seemed more willing to hand the Promethean ActivSlate over to students more so than the Wacom Bamboo Create.

Tablet Battle! Wacom Bamboo vs. Promethean ActivSlate

One art teacher in particular that spent the most time with Wacom Bamboo tablet was really looking for the freedom to move around the room, without losing access to our additional USB ports on her laptop. Long battery life—Lasts two months on average or 21 hours under constant pen-to-surface use. As a side note, ActivInspire is one of my go-to applications for digital whiteboarding and interactive actifslate in the classroom. I came to love it! I wanted to put it up against one of the Promethean ActivSlate wireless tablets that a few of our teachers have to see how it compared.

That is, if you have the additional student response devices clickers. The Promethean ActivSlate has seen limited success in a few classrooms in our school. For example, I like to incorporate apps like geogebra into my lessons.

Other than that, the biggest beef I had with the unit was installing all of the software drivers and applications that it came with. Since the tablet acts as a mouse, would I still be able to access Activinspire on my computer?

I have used the Wacom Tablet for years now an older version of what is listed above. Interact from Anywhere in the Classroom In an interactive classroom, nothing is static.

If you can use the program with your mouse, then you can interact with it using the Wacom or the ActivInspire Tablet. At eoftware beginning, I was very skeptical as I did not see myself being able to look at the screen instead of where I was writing, but that is a trained skill.

A wireless, fully integrated, notebook-sized tablet, ActivSlate uses the same ActivPens as our ActivBoard, is small enough to sit on a student desk, and is light enough to be passed around the classroom.
