Adora continues to captivate viewing, listening and reading audiences in the USA and beyond. And we can’t help but be humbled that she has chosen Promethean’s technology as a focal point for her thinking in terms of ICT. Here are a few recent national and regional programs:

Adora Svitak, 11, writes Tuesday about her visit to Whitney Young for her blog.
On Tuesday, February the 3rd, Adora Svitak visited Whitney M. Young Magnet School in Chicago, Illinois, to talk about writing and publishing.
The presentation utilized an Activboard from Promethean, accompanied by Activexpressions (a voting system which allows students to vote, text in in answers, etc.) The Expression technology immediately collects results from students.
When polled, the majority of students believed that the presentation was inspiring, motivational, innovative, interesting, and educational. However, they didn’t all immediately turn into scholars; when asked about their plans for action/publication, they jokingly responded that they would like to sit around watching TV. Adora said, “I read on your school’s website that you have a…100% graduation rate. I guess they’ll have to take out the thirty percent of you that responded [couch] potato.” She added, “I’m glad they still have a sense of humor!”
