Mimio Vote:  Using Quick Vote

Using "Quick Vote", in the applications of MimioStudio Tools, or from the middle button on your Teachbar, you can present questions and have your students respond to them. You never have to insert them into MimioNotebook. This works really well with websites for test prep or with other documents that you have already created as assessments.

Click HERE for a printable, downloadable reference card for the Mimio Vote toolbar.

****If you want to store student results, you must first put your class or classes in Mimio Gradebook. Only add your class to the computer that is used for your presentation.*****

Using Quick Vote:

1. On the toolbar, click the Applications icon, and then choose Quick Vote. Or, you can press the 2nd button on the MimioTeach to open Quick Vote.
2. Select the class that will participate in the activity from the Class list.
3. Click Start Polling icon, and then choose the question type to start polling for the question. When all students have responded, polling for the question stops.
4. To stop polling for a question before all students have responded, click Stop Polling icon.
5. Click the letter that corresponds to the correct answer for the question.
6. The results for the current question are saved to the MimioStudio Gradebook along with a screen shot.

Mimio Vote: Creating Assessments from PDF's or other documents

If you already have an assessment on a PDF or Word document, or if you want to select assessment questions from a website, you can use the screen clipping tool instead of typing in questions directly. Once you have your clipped question and answers on your Notebook page, you can add the "Questions and Results" from the Mimio Gallery. 

1. Use the screen clipping tool to put the question on your page.

2. Use the text box to add A, B, C, D to the clipped image, if necessary.

3. Open the Gallery and choose the appropriate universal question response. Double click it or drag to your page.

4. Click on the correct response. Click the gear icon in the bottom right corner if you want to change how the information is displayed to your students. Then, click the check mark.

5. Go to the Gallery and choose a results chart if you want to include that on your Notebook page. 

6. Click the "add new page" in the standard toolbar or go to insert, new page.

7. Repeat steps 1 through 5 to continue adding questions.

The video below will show you how to manipulate the Questions and Results for your Notebook assessment.
