I found these websites helpful in figuring out how to use a Promethean Board. I have realized that I do not have access to a Promethean Board, but I can learn about the skills through online tutorials, and advice on how to use basic skills. Until I am a teacher, employed by a school and placed in a classroom I won't know exactly what technology I will be using, but it is convenient and helpful to have general knowledge about the board.
I learned management tools of the board, for instance:
- how to calibrate the board
- how to use AcivPen, which is basically your mouse to the board
- how to use ActivInspire Toolbar
- how to make flip charts
I found these websites useful:

Some questions I have: Why is the ActivBoard more expensive than a SMARTBoard? What are the differences? Why isn't the ActivBoard touch screen? What do you use both pens for?
