What alternatives are there to Activstudio from Promethean?

That piece of software makes it easy for teachers to create content for 
use in their classes and can be used in tandem with a physical 
interactive whiteboard which allow their pupils/students to get involved.

A powerful and easy to use content creation tool that is easily used 
with an interactive whiteboard can mean a lot. Not all teachers are 
going to want to use subject specific software. All teachers would 
however appreciate being able to make their own stuff for their classes.
