Enhance Teaching and Learning

Are your students more focused on copying notes rather than understanding the concepts? If so, mimio Xi can help. Attach mimio Xi to your whiteboard, connect to a computer and everything you write or draw is electronically captured - in color and real-time - so that it can be instantly saved and shared with students, parents and colleagues anywhere, anytime. Print, email or export class notes to HTML and post to a website.

 

Do you wish your classes were more interactive?

With mimio and a multimedia projector, you can turn the same whiteboard into an interactive touch screen. Project your desktop and onto the whiteboard and use the mimioMouse stylus like a cordless mouse directly from the whiteboard - in front of your class. Control PowerPoint presentations, surf the Internet, navigate education CDs.

Five thumbs up on mimio 1.5
"In the beginning , there were chalk boards, and they were good. Good, not great. Then came whiteboards with dry erase markers. Better, but there was still room for improvement. Enter mimio, a product that offers the benefit of digital capture, while letting you use your existing equipment." - MacObserver, November 9 2001
