Along with the Activboard, the district can get an Activote and Activexpression. These are tools that the students can use to take quizzes and tests. They can select an answer to a multiple choice question, answer true/false and yes/no questions and write answers and then send them to the screen.
Once the students answer the question, the teacher can see right away how many students got it right and exactly who got it right and wrong. The students' names can be written on the board or they can be assigned a number so teachers can identify their responses.
Also, teachers can take the scores from the quiz or test and drop them into their grade book.

Hi, I posted this in the Notebook forum, but will add it herre too. This should work on Mac (I don't have one or else I'd try) as it is web-based
There's actually a really nice free tool out there called OCR Terminal (www.ocrterminal.com). It's an online service that allows you to convert scanned images and PDFs into editable and text searchable documents. It's not bad at preserving formatting and layout. You can download the converted documents in .doc, .txt, .rtf, or .xml formats, which is handy because .xml can be uploaded into Senteo for quizzing.
