Please click HERE for a downloadable, printable, reference guide for MimioStudio Tools. Below are some brief videos demonstrating the MimioStudio basic tools. Some videos refer to an older version. However, the only difference that I see in the videos and the updated version is the icon for the eraser. It is in the same place on the toolbar. It just looks different.

CORE SKILLS II
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)
"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.

****Tip: Use singular search terms to get more results.
*****Tip: Think of the Gallery "folder" organization just like your computer. When you search for a file on your computer, you drill down from , "My Computer", "C:", etc... There are sub-folders when you see a + sign (or an arrow on a Mac).
******Tip: You can copy and paste any image, template, multimedia or lesson into a folder of your choice. You can also drag and drop images right into the Gallery. Just make sure you have the folder highlighted that you want the new image to appear, then drop it into the lower portion of the Gallery.
* IF you want to create your own sorting activities, you can always get a template from the Gallery and use your own text boxes and other images from the Gallery.
