2. What is mimio?
Portable hardware with easy-to-use software that turns your whiteboard (flip chart, etc.) into a tool similar to a Smartboard.
Records, plays back, prints, and shares whiteboard information
Can also be used as a mouse pointing device when your Windows Desktop is projected onto your whiteboard
Can convert any whiteboard or smooth surface into an electronic whiteboard
Connects to any PC
Uses standard Expo markers (when placed in stylus)
Transports easily from one classroom to another or mounts for long-term installation

3. How does it work? Captures handwritten text and drawings in color
Uses infrared and ultrasound technology to track the position of your marker stylus and eraser on the board
Files are recorded as data files do you can keep on CD-ROM, etc.
