synaesthesia Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Judging interest currently, we have a shedload of Promethean Activotes (likely around 60) and also half a dozen Casio XJ-M130 LED projectors with a couple thousand hours on each. Any interest? Looking for around £150 per projector but not sure about the Activotes. Suspect the most valuable/useful part of them will be the batteries!
TomHD Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 I've struggled to give away our box of 30 Activotes for free
synaesthesia Posted July 12, 2017 Author Posted July 12, 2017 Yeah, that's my inclination Shame really, worth a small fortune and I think these have already been hand-me-downed from someone else in the academy group. Pretty much just leaves them going WEEEeeeee...
Dos_Box Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 I've struggled to give away our box of 30 Activotes for free Did anyone actually use them? Ever?
TomHD Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Did anyone actually use them? Ever? They've been in a cupboard ever since my arrival 4 years ago, same with the £15000 worth of SMART Tables and £25000 worth of Macbooks

Not a Mac fan but that is bad. As regards the Smart Tables, some of our admins and mods have experience of their inner workings if you ever need them unfixing
TomHD Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Yeah it is shocking! 5 years later they have seen little to no use and are now being sold to staff for around £350 a go. The guy/idiot who was NM before me thought that scratching the school's address on to the back of them with a compass was what one does!
john Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Wow! Not a Mac fan but that is bad. As regards the Smart Tables, some of our admins and mods have experience of their inner workings if you ever need them unfixing Do NOT let @Domino or @Ric_ touch them simple
localzuk Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Did anyone actually use them? Ever? We have 2 sets. I know 1 set is used nearly every day (as one teacher has adopted it as his own and just includes it in his lessons). The other? No idea.
synaesthesia Posted July 12, 2017 Author Posted July 12, 2017 Good god, SMART tables. I remember one of those arriving at a primary school as a pilot years ago. Wow, it was worth thousands. It was dragged out once soon after arrival and from then on it was used mostly for staff to eat their lunch off.
mavhc Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Why weren't they used? Seems like it's good to work together. No software? Better than the terrible RM clone, a giant table that wouldn't fit through a door, a short throw projector, and a touch system that used a pen so can't be collaborative
