Moore Elementary Mimio Core Skills _ December 6, 2013

Hi Moore Elementary Staff,

I enjoyed our sessions on Friday! 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 email me. I will also reserved the lab (2nd Floor at Central Office) on Mondays from 3:15p to 4:30p, beginning again in January 2014. These will be informal, drop-in sessions. We can go over core skills OR advanced skills. If you want help with files that you are working on, if you want to make your Mimio files more interactive for your students, OR if you need help beginning new Notebook files, these work sessions are for you. These sessions are to help you, no matter how experienced you feel with Mimio Studio. I look forward to seeing you in the new year, both at Moore and at the lab!

I hope you all have a great Christmas!

April
