Greeneville, Tenn.—One of the worst parts of grade school? Chalk screeching on a blackboard. Well, luckily, those days are long gone. Instead, classrooms are going high-tech. Promethean Learning has chosen Greeneville High School to donate an interactive white board. The screen, controlled remotely by a laptop, responds to touch and clickers used by individual students. Teachers, parents, and students agree that these days, a high technology learning environment is necessary for a global society.

Aptera, with a range of 190 miles between charges, is intended to sell for around $30,000.
Why not design a fuel-efficient car that would allow a single driver onto California’s car-pool lanes?

For the next two weeks, classes using Promethean’s Activote Student Response System can participate in “Cast Your Vote: Decision 2008.” This online activity lets classrooms from around the world choose the next US president. Each participating classroom has been assigned a US state. Teachers are provided with flipchart templates to use in their classroom (which can be found online). The class will then use Activotes to vote for the president.
