MimioBoard Touch 780T Interactive Whiteboard

I'm Chris Leonardo director of R&D; at Mimio and I'm here to tell you about MimioMobile. We created MimioMobile to leverage existing mobile devices in classrooms around the world. The app provides features for both collaboration and assessment. MimioMobile was designed to be easy to use and easy to implement for both students and teachers. One of the challenges of integrating mobile technology is getting teachers up and running as quickly and easily as possible. We believe MimioMobile provides a solution to this problem. Simply install a single license on the teacher’s computer and unlock the MimioMobile features for all mobile devices in the classroom. Connecting these devices is as simple as using our QR Connect process. To use the QR connect functionality, the teacher displays the code at the front of the classroom from MimioStudio, and the student from their desk clicks and points the device. And that's how easy it is to get your class up and running with MimioMobile.

The two main features MimioMobile supports for collaboration are the control feature and the collaborate feature. The control feature allows the teacher to pass desktop control to a student's mobile device and have that student control the desktop. The collaborate feature allows small groups of students to work together on their mobile device and then share their work with the rest of the class. Now I'm going to show you one of the collaborative features of MimioMobile. Sitting in front of me our four students each with their own mobile device. But this could also be for groups of students sharing the mobile device and the software supports up to nine devices. I'm going to use my teacher mobile device to launch the collaborate feature. You’ll notice that the screen is split into four different areas one for each device being used. I can highlight one of the students work and we can see that this student has a grasp on the percussion but needs to work on woodwinds. This is an example of one of the collaborative features of MimioMobile the control feature is similar to the collaborate feature but the teacher can pass control of the desktop to one student. When I launch control you'll notice that the list of the mobile devices in the classroom are displayed and the teacher can choose to pass control to student three. Student three can then work from their desk on the activity in front of the whole class. At any point in the lesson the teacher can decide to take back control from that student.

MimioMobile supports multiple types of assessment responses including multiple choice and open response. This allows the teacher to conduct real-time formative assessment in the classroom. Now I'm going to demonstrate the assessment features of the MimioMobile app. I can pull the class with a multiple-choice question about prime numbers. Once all the students have answered on their mobile devices the correct answers displayed and we can look at the results. Noting that most of the class understood the question. Moving on I can ask a second question an open response question about planets in the solar system. While the students type their answers note the different mobile devices being used both large and small tablets as well as phones. Again when all the students have answered the correct answers are displayed. Note that the software provides immediate feedback based on how the students respond about how well they know the lesson. we hope you are as excited to use MimioMobile as we were to create it.
