Jackson Road Elementary - Mimio Core Skills II - May 14, 2014

Atomic Learning has several training tutorials for Mimio. Just click HERE and when the page opens, log in with your normal GSCS credentials. Then, in the search box, type in Mimio.

Inserting files- You can use files (Word docs, PPT's, PDF's, images, multimedia, etc...) that you have already created, in Mimio Studio Notebook. This is a great feature because you and your students can see the whole document and annotate right over it, anywhere on it. Documents become a part of the Mimio Notebook page so there is no need to "lock" them. 

*Locking -Don't forget, if you insert images, you will want to "lock" them. 
>Select object
>Choose "Format" from top menu
>"Locking"
>"Lock"
(You can also right click on the selected object)

*Ordering -The last item you insert on to a Notebook page will be the top. If it happens to be an image that you want as a background, you will need to change the order. 
>Select object
>Choose "Format" from the top menu
>"Ordering"
>"Back"
(You can also right click on the selected object)

 Click here to see a brief video of the 3 methods of inserting your files.

"Screen Clipping"- This is how you can capture ANY image and bring it into Mimio Studio. If you can see it on your computer screen, you can clip it. You can even use the free-form tool to capture JUST the image without the background. This video refers to Mimio version 8. However, you perform the task the same with version 11. Don't forget, if you want the image to remain static on your Notebook page, "Lock" the image. 

"Screen Annotation" - You can use the Mimio tools to annotate over Word, PDF's, or sites from the Internet. Any time you perform the screen annotation function, it is automatically saved in your Gallery. Once your screen annotation file is in your Gallery, you can drag it into your Notebook file. To exit screen annotation mode, just click the "mouse" icon, next to "annotation" icon. 

"File Attachment" - You can attach files right into your Notebook file. They become a part of the Notebook file; similar to attaching a file to an email. You can drag attached files into your Notebook software or open the files separately to annotate over them.
