The first question to answer is "What exactly is Promethean ClassFlow?" Well, according to ClassFlow's Top 10 FAQ's post from their community blog, "ClassFlow is a FREE collaborative learning software for the next generation classroom. ClassFlow is cloud-based and accessible on any device with internet access It simplifies the way that teachers discover, create, and deliver interactive learning. It also makes it easier than ever to teach and assess students in the modern classroom. ClassFlow is especially useful when students are using devices in 1:1 environments."
"ClassFlow is a comprehensive instructional delivery system that increases the depth of student and teacher engagement by providing interactive and collaborative use of classroom devices, digital curriculum, and assessments for learning." http://ClassFlow.com
Before ClassFlow, some of you may remember using ActivInspire software to create your Flipchart lessons. You may also remember visiting the website Promethean Planet for lesson resources, as well as, FREE and premium lessons to download. However, with the rise of technology integration and 1:1 initiatives, it was time for Promethean to catch up with the trends. As a result, ClassFlow was born and combines the best of Promethean Planet and ActivInspire: ClassFlow Lesson Delivery Platform and ClassFlow Marketplace.
With the Classflow Lesson Delivery Platform, teachers can deliver content to their student's 1:1 devices. This content can consist of complete lessons, interactive learning activities such as matching, sorting, whiteboards, etc.), assessments, polls, and more.

The ability to push out learning activities in real time for the students to complete on their devices is what I would consider Promethean's biggest improvement. When the students have finished, they can return it to you and you can choose to display their responses/answers with the class on your board. I think the video below does a super job of demonstrating the potential of ClassFlow in our 1:1 classroom environment.
