| RESEARCH INTO POSITIVE EFFECTS OF INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARDS
Research carried out in 2009 in some 50 schools in the US involving 79 teachers and 3400 pupils found that the use of the Promethean ActivClassroom technology resulted in a 17 -20% improvement in understanding and retention over those not using the ActivClassroom methods.
Of great importance in achieving these results were the experience of the teacher and their experience and confidence in using the technology. Teachers with 10 years experience and using the technology for 2 years or more got the best results.
The pupil group was broken into a test and control group of approximately 50:50.
