comment on. I think Promethean's software suite of applications is far
superior to Smarts. Promethean spends a lot more money and resources on
their software. The trainings that I went to by Promethean instructors
focused almost solely on using their software rather than focusing on
the hardware.
I am now at a school that chose to go with Smartboards. I actually like
the boards a little better than Promethean, primarily the ability to use
your finger to move things around. The down side of Smartboards is the
Notebook software is not that great. In addition, I have gone to
several training classes and the trainers seem to want to focus on the
hardware rather than how to use Notebook and the other curriculum
resources.
If I had to go with one, at this time, I would select Promethean. The
power of interactive whiteboards is the tools you use with them, and
Promethean has such a great set of tools available you can use right
from day 1.

Subject: Re: Polyvision eno board - your thoughts?
If I can piggyback on this post, I'm also interested in people's =20
focused thoughts on SMART vs. Promethean vs. Terry's Polyvision product.
I'm looking for the best fit for our Lower School for now as teacher =20
interest grows. I have my own thoughts on this but am curious to hear =20
what others who are actually using them have to say.
I'm not looking for a wider general discussion on interactive =20
whiteboards or using Mimio or tablets with wireless projectors instead.
