Question:
Is there a way to insert a table?
- Submitted By:
- Terry T.
- Date:
- May. 9, 2013
Answer:You will be happy to know that you have a few different options when it comes to inserting a table into your MimioStudio Notebook lesson. I’m not sure which application the table you are trying to insert is formatted in but you can try to copy and paste it in by right clicking on the table, select COPY and then once you are in MimioStudio Notebook simply right click again and select PASTE. You could also do this by using the menu options at the top of MimioStudio Notebook. If the copy/paste option doesn’t work you can always use the screen clipping tool (which is on your toolbar) to clip the chart and add it to your lesson. In this case it would be easy for the students to use various tools to annotate the table. Another option is to simply keep the table in its native application and use Screen Annotation which would freeze the screen and allow for you or your students to annotate the table. When using this method a copy of your annotations is automatically saved in your Gallery for future reference.

Question:
How can you use MimioVote Questions with existing PowerPoint lessons?
- Submitted By:
- Lynn A.
- Date:
- Feb. 28, 2013
Answer:
What a great question! You can use the MimioStudio Vote Add-in function to create any type of MimioVote activity in Microsoft PowerPoint. MimioVote activities are created by adding question slides to a PowerPoint presentation. A Vote Add-in feature includes a variety of pre-formatted question slide templates to make creating activities in PowerPoint quick and easy. The Vote Add-in feature should have been added to PowerPoint when you installed the MimioStudio software. If you go into PowerPoint you should see an add-in button in the menu on the right. If you click this you should see vote objects over on the left that will allow you to enter vote questions into PowerPoint. You can’t open vote files in PowerPoint but you should be able to create vote questions based in here.

Question:
How much do you love using Mimio in your classroom?
- Submitted By:

Answer:
Valentine's Day is upon us, and I have a new love - to be honest.
After decades of teaching, of striving, of reaching
young minds in the halls of my school -
I find myself having a blast in my class with a tool that is totally cool!It's white and it's sleek - completely unique
in the way it can get students learning.
And the Pad is so rad that my students are sad when the
clock shows that class time is burning.They come to my board with nary a cord,
and move things around with a stylus.
They're having such fun, they don't even run
when the bell rings -
They almost seem tireless!When it comes to a test, my class does it best
When using the MimioVote.
The colors are pleasing, anxiety-easing,
and quickly the students take note.
The answers come surely, and admin says purely
my students aren't missing the boat.So here's to this Valentine's Day
and hooray for the Mimio way!
Engage, interact!
Let's all make a pact
to use Mimio every day.
