Interactive Whiteboard products such as mimio can be used for a multitude of functions, from recording notes or ideas, facilitating meetings to capturing brainstorming sessions. Below is

just a few ways that schools and organisations can use mimio;

Mimio can be used in many applications including a basic primary school classroom. Interactive Whiteboards are perfect for front of class and whole class instruction as well as allowing students to be more interactive and engaged. A teacher can project shared readings, such as a story onto the whiteboard and highlight new vocabulary words. They can project images of different pictures (shapes, animals, etc) and point out the differences or features of each. Children can then come to the board and interact with the computer software directly using Mimio.

At secondary school level there is a greater emphasis on students focusing on concepts rather than taking notes. In this instance teachers can archive class notes while students focus on understanding the lessons presented instead of copying the board. For example, teachers can capture the steps to solving a multi-step math equation on the interactive whiteboard and email the solutions to students or post them to a website. With the VCR-like playback feature, students can rewind and replay the sequence of steps ensuring that they arrive at the right solution. This feature is extremely valuable for absent students, who can be emailed the notes done in class with the Mimio.

Mimio classRoom enables teachers to share whiteboard notes with students in real-time in a networked environment. It encourages students to participate by allowing them to electronically submit questions, comments or answers which can be addressed by a teacher during class or saved and answered later.

With the Mimio playback feature, students can refer back to and review notes as often as they need to. With the zoom feature visually-impaired students can magnify a word, equation or diagram so that it is visible. Best of all, mimioBoard is compatible with the most commonly used assistive technology products.

Now your colleagues can devote their full concentration to the information being presented on the interactive whiteboard knowing that the whiteboard notes are being electronically captured.

With Expo™ dry-erase markers inserted into the mimio stylus pens, everything that you write or draw on the interactive whiteboard is digitally recorded – in color and real time! – in a highly portable and versatile digital data format.

Mimio boardCast™ is a revolutionary communication tool that allows users to stream ink and audio together over the Internet (live!) or archived for on demand viewing. It can record and add your voice synchronously with your whiteboard notes so your audience can simultaneously see and hear your presentations . boardCast™ is perfect for all one-to-many broadcasts such as presentations and training lectures.

When used with a multimedia projector, you can use of the mimio stylus pens like a cordless mouse to control (click, right click, drag and drop) computer applications and documents directly from the interactive whiteboard.
