I enjoyed our sessions on Thursday! I am so glad that you are enthusiastic about this new solution. This post contains some notes about the Mimio software and hardware.
If you have any questions before my next visit, feel free to call me or email me. I have also reserved the lab (2nd Floor at Central Office) on Mondays from 3:15p to 4:30p. These will be informal, drop-in sessions. We can go over core skills OR advanced skills. If you want help with files that you have already created to make them more interactive for your students, just bring those with you on Mondays to the lab.
I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!
