Software changes and development:

There have been some delays in the final release of Promethean's new multi user boards.  Sources here in the UK are yet to release a date when the board will be on general release.  However, the new voting tools Activ Arena have been available for some time and are beginning to change the ways in which these response tools are used in class.  The new voting tools allow students to write words and whole sentences; allowing for classroom collaboration in literacy and many other subjects.

Smart have now replaced their Version 10 beta with the completed, full version which can be downloaded from here.
