Customer Reviews
Awsome Resource
If you are new to the Promethean Activstudio software, this is a fantastic starting point for information. Having said that I have been using the boards for about two years and I have picked up some great tips from these podcasts. An excellent resource to accompany the boards.
Activ tips are a great resource
This is a great option so that I can refer to the tips on my iPod at any time. My only criticism is that the titles for all the podcasts are the same with only the date differentiating them, which can make it difficult to find the particular tip I want to show to a colleague or refresh my memory about - nevertheless a fabulous resource.
