Website Used and Video Clip Watched:

This video clip and accompanying story was titled, "ActivProgress Case Study". The video highlighted how teachers at Mercer Middle School in Seattle used the ActivBoard, specifically ActivProgress, to enhance their classroom learning experience. The use of the ActiveProgress allows for students to individually select their answers and the teacher can see how each student responded therefore allowing her to give help to those who most need it without embarassing them in front of the whole class for their struggles with the lesson.I though that the connection between the ActivBoard and the tools that are associated with it such as ActivProgress can truly create a better classroom learning experience.

Question: How much does an ActivBoard cost? Has the addition of the ActivBoards in class legitimately raised test scores and student involvement? Evidence?

  1. ActiveProgress seems like an awesome way for the kids to stay engaged and enhance learning. Did the teacher actually test the kids and give them a grade with this tool?
