 Has the innovation you are proposing to the Board already met critical mass in society? › Yes! The technology bug has hit our department. The Promethean Board has met critical mass. The lead teachers and I have already went to the web site and studied the dynamics and benefits of the Promethean as well as all the resources that are available.

 Defining the need for your innovation: › Finding a new way to present lessons that would appeal to the different learning styles of the learners. › Diagnostic data from the TABE test shows areas of deficiency in the following areas:  Interpreting Graphic Information  Recall Information  Clues in Content  Construct Meaning  Evaluate/Extending Meanings

 Matching your innovation to that need. › The Promethean Board and the CPS system (clicker system) will allow for immediate feedback as well as interaction between the students and instructors. › The interactive feature of the Promethean Board will address the different learning styles of the students. › Access to other resources will assist in enhancing the lessons and comprehension of the students
