It should be the kids manipulating the board and the teacher just facilitating. The Vibe makes this possible.

Educator’s FAQ
  • What are the key differences between Vibe and Promethean interactive whiteboards?

    The main differences come down to flexibility, cost, and simplicity. First, Vibe is designed as an all-in-one solution that adapts to your teaching style—whether you’re in the classroom, teaching remotely, or managing a hybrid setup. You get the same powerful experience no matter how your day unfolds.

    Second, student collaboration comes at no extra cost. While Promethean’s proprietary apps limit how many students can work together on a shared whiteboard, and their Explain Everything app charges based on student count and collaboration time, Vibe Canvas lets unlimited students collaborate on an infinite canvas with no time restrictions. Your students can dive deep into group projects without watching the clock.

    Third, Vibe integrates seamlessly with over 250 apps you likely already use in your classroom. Instead of learning entirely new software, you can use familiar tools like Google Workspace, Microsoft Teams, and educational apps your students love—just on a bigger, smarter display.
