WHAT IS A MIMIOBOARD? Last year our school was able to secure a "Mimio" board for my classroom. It is a version of a "smart" board, where you can interact with items on the whiteboard through the use of a projector. In no way do we know the intricacies of the board, but we've got a few of the basics down. Today we put it up for use and had fun with it. It's a portable electronic gadget that has to be attached to the wall each time we use it. The newness of the board made all the students want to try it. Our eighth grade Algebra class was writing answers to questions on mathematical properties. The sixth grade math we used it to work on order of operations problems. In both seventh and eighth grade Pre-Algebra we correctly identified ordered pairs on a coordinate plane.
There is a learning curve on this board just like all other electronics, but hopefully we'll be able to incorporate more and more interaction in the classroom.
