If you had to guess which maker of Interactive White Boards had partnered with Pearson Education, Inc. to launch a cutting-edge solution for district and classroom assessment that will enable administrators and teachers to make increasingly powerful connections between assessment and learning, would you pick:
a) SmartBoard
b) Eno
c) Polyvision
d) Mimeo
e) Promethean
f) eBeam
g) Numonics
h) Interwrite
i) Starboard
Clue: Last week in a surprise last minute addition to the June 8, 2010, Board of Education "consent agenda," MCPS announced that they would be writing and selling curriculum to Pearson Education, Inc.
MCPS has over 3,000 Promethean Boards in classrooms around the county that were purchased by MCPS Chief Operating Officer Larry Bowers through a no bid procurement, without Board of Education approval.
Give up?
The answer is e) Promethean.
Pearson Education, Inc. and Promethean established their partnership last summer.
End the rhyme with "MCPS in the baby carriage".
So, what's your point?
