Mimio
|
Mimio records presentations (boards)
that are written on whiteboards. These "boards" can be saved to a
computer and later posted as web pages. Instructors are using Mimio to
record development of formulas, points in a planning process, and class
notes. Students may download the Mimio software for free in order to
play the presentations. Advanced users add audio and video to
presentations. With additional software (Boardcast) and Netmeeting and
an Internet connection, collaborative sessions can be conducted in real
time.
