Mimio is putting a new twist on conventional interactive
whiteboards with its MimioBoard™,
a fixed whiteboard powered by the award-winning MimioTeach™ interactive
technology. Designed to give new schools and those institutions that want to
upgrade their technology offerings an affordable, full-featured whiteboard
solution, the MimioBoard is both interactive and dry-erasable and easily
transfers created interactive lessons to other classrooms via its removable
bar. The MimioBoard, which integrates
seamlessly with all MimioClassroom™ teaching technologies, comes fully equipped
with the revered MimioStudio™ classroom software and supports both wired or
wireless operation.
Educators can get a first look and experience a
hands-on demonstration of the MimioBoard interactive whiteboard at the annual
International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) conference and
exposition. During the three-day conference beginning June 25, Mimio’s team of
teaching experts will also present a host of educational seminars and
demonstrations of its new MimioReading™ software suite at the Mimio booth,
#4113.
The advanced
design of the MimioBoard comes from the company’s commitment to research and
development, as well as insightful educator feedback. Its durable ceramicsteel™ surface easily withstands
the rigors of classroom activity. And
while the MimioBoard is a fixed installation, the interactive whiteboard
component, the MimioTeach bar, can be easily detached from the whiteboard and
transferred to other classrooms where it can turn an ordinary whiteboard into
and interactive whiteboard, quickly and easily.
The MimioBoard can also be used with either short or long throw
projectors, leveraging current projector inventory in schools and districts.
The intuitive MimioStudio software makes it easy to create engaging interactive
activities, record student answers, and integrates seamlessly with other
components of the MimioClassroom
suite, including the MimioVote™ assessment, MimioView™ document camera, and
MimioPad™ wireless pen tablet. Despite the comprehensive range of interactive
capabilities, with the portable bar and simple to use software, teachers can
set up boards and lessons in minutes.
“At the core of a child’s learning experience there
must be creativity, collaboration, and physical engagement. The new MimioBoard
offers teachers the opportunity to encompass all three,” said Mimio General
Manager Manny Perez. “Our goal in
developing this interactive whiteboard is to continue to offer relevant
technology tools that are original and intuitive, that dynamically engage
students, and that give teachers new ways to effect positive academic outcomes.
In essence, the MimioBoard is really where technology innovation intersects
with compelling content, for undeniable success.”
