TBI, TBI de poche, tablettes graphiques : quelques idées simples.


Nous voyons passer de plus en plus de demandes et d'études concernant des tablettes sans fil, pour compléter ou remplacer l'usage d'un tableau interactif.

La question principale qui se pose est:

"Faut-il utiliser une tablette en complément d'un TBI, ou à la place d'un TBI ? - et même, faut-il utiliser une tablette tout court !".

Nous proposons ce genre de matériel (Trust, Wacom et peut-être un jour Calcomp) et j'aimerais donc bien vous donner notre position "commerciale" et "pédagogique" sur le sujet.

A l'Est, du nouveau. / Something new on the eastern front


Merci à Pascal Faure (Conseiller TICE de l'Académie de Nancy-Metz), de nous avoir invité à montrer notre technologie de Tableau Interactif à l'occasion d'un barbecue d'une journée Porte Ouvertes organisée à Santfontaine.

Tous les fabricants de TBI étaient invités et de l'avis général, le succès a été impressionnant et l'audience énorme (pour notre part, nous avons donné plus de 100 démos, ce qui a déclenché une légère tendinite chez Olivier !).

Dynamisme de l'Académie, intérêt des enseignants, ambiance sympa (voir photos)... Aucun doute, ça bouge bien dans l'Est en ce moment !

Exactement le genre d'événement à reproduire dans toutes les régions pour faire décoller l'usage des TBI, à mon avis.

Thanks to Pascal faure, in charge of IT strategy for the National Education Office in eastern France for inviting us to a nice barbecue an event dedicated to interactive whiteboards.

We gave over 100 demos a day and we typically just need more of the same, in all french regions, to let the interactive whiteboard market take off.

John, from Cox Communications: "I was very impressed with the support we got "


Thanks a lot to John for accepting to be interviewed about how he uses Speechi at Cox. It's always nice to see support efforts are appreciated by customers, even if support is 9 hours time-lagged !

1. What attracted you to Speechi initially?

After searching for a simple, cost effective program that would easily convert PPT to Flash that took around one week, we found Speechi. It seemed to answer all that we needed in one product.

2. What problems did you want Speechi to solve?

It takes a long time to learn Macromedia Flash and we needed to get PPT over to Flash format to save space and make the presentations easily accessible to anyone, even if they did not have PowerPoint or Office on their PC. Time is what Speechi is saving us the most, precious time.

3. How easy was it to get started with Speechi, and how many people use it regularly?

We had some initial problems getting Speechi to work on a corporate machine because of all the IT restrictions, but Speechi Tech Support from France helped us via e-mail and on the telephone. There are around ½ dozen of us in my department, I have shown two others besides myself how to use Speechi. It has a short learning curve and so far everyone has learned how to use it pretty quickly.

4. How do you use Speechi ?

We have many presentations we use during our new hire training, with Speechi, we can give the same presentation over and over again and have great consistency on the message we deliver, also, we can burn the Speechi to CD and students can take them to go over again if they need too. It saves us a lot time and provides students with more access to data and materials outside of the classroom.

5. Anything else ?

I was very impressed with the support we got from France, the founder called me multiple times before we ordered it to answer questions and their tech support was very good, and they were ½ way around the globe.

Thanks a lot Gunnar, for conducting the interview. (again !)
