MimioStudio Tools

>Highlight "MimioMobile"
>Click "Activate"
>You will then need to put in the license number. Please email me when you are ready to do this. I can not post the license number here but I am happy to email it to you.
Then, download the MimioMobile app to your mobile device and have your students do the same, if you want them to use this app in class. When you all have the mobile app downloaded, follow the steps below. Also, you can view the guide and videos below for more information.

Just use the tools at the top of your mobile device. Remember, you can always take back control by clicking the blue button on your device.
