<p>While my only experience with the two different brands is from seeing them used in the classroom, I feel like the Promethean boards are more versatile and their software seems to be much more beneficial for especially elementary school classrooms. In my school system Smart Boards are used in math and science classes while Promethean Boards are used in English and special area classes. </p>

Recently our district has ordered several of the Mimio Teach. It is a magnetic bar that snaps to the surface of a white board transforming it into an interactive board. It can be easily shared between staff because all you need to do is download the software, plug in the the wireless usb hub and then snap the bar on your board. They are about $800. They work just as well as any interactive whiteboard I have used. Another great feature is that you can use your dry erase markers without fear…

<p>In our system, we are using the Promethean IWBs and the teachers love them. However, many only scratch the surface of really using the boards how they are intended. We are pushing them every day to allow the students to take control of the learning. The voting devices are a great addition. They are really what get the kids and teachers excited about the IWBs. </p>

<p>Our teachers’ main complaint is projector bulbs. When the projector bulbs blow, they have to wait for a replacement. This basically renders the board useless until the bulb is replaced. Usually the IWB is right in the middle of the room, so you have to continue on either side to continue teaching. So, we began to take a look at the Brightlink short-throw projectors. They use a pen like the Promethean boards but their image can be displayed on a regular dry erase board. So, if the bulb blows, you can still use the board. So far it seems to be working out. </p> I would be very interested in…tag:www.classroom20.com,2010-11-23:649749:Comment:5713752010-11-23T06:54:26.436ZPablo Benvenutohttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/PabloBenvenuto

Okay. It is an online version. You have to upload your files first. That's the negative.<br />
I tried to upload two files but I had error messages each time.<br />
The software is still in Beta late July.

Wow! Let me get this right. It is free and can be used on any OS, any interactive whiteboard and you can create and save your own files?<br />
<br />
If so that's worth shouting about.

I researched this a while back and found that you could only use Promethean's preset files, and are not able to create your own files. I guess if you own the software and have a key that will be different.
