  1. Hey Jasmine,
    I like your topic but I think it might be a good idea to add some kind of measurement of student success instead of just whether or not the students liked the delivery method. You might be able to add some activities with quizzes or tests and see how they do with and without the promethean board. It's important which way they like better but most of all, it's about how much they are learning.

  2. It would be great to provide teachers with some premade activities to implement in their classroom. SMART Technologies has an exchange with pre-made lessons. If Promethean has something similar, I'm sure teachers would appreciate the resource.
