The complete MimioClassroom™ suite of interactive technologies is used in over 600,000 classrooms worldwide. The suite includes the MimioTeach™ interactive whiteboard; the new MimioBoard™ touch board, which features six-pointTouch 360° interactivity – the highest number of standard touch points available – for best-in-class performance; the MimioDisplay™ LED touch display; the MimioBoard interactive whiteboard; the MimioProjector interactive projector; the MimioVote™ assessment; the MimioMobile app; the MimioView™ document camera; the MimioPad™ wireless pen tablet; and the MimioCapture™ ink recorder.

The next section includes an at-a-glance infographic highlighting the top five things to consider when making a panel purchase. In addition, the guide examines the benefits that learners garner from use of the displays, and includes collaborative lessons that can be implemented using displays or conventional interactive whiteboards. The lessons are organized into these subject areas: science, math, language arts, social studies, and art.
“Mimio has always been dedicated to helping educators bring more collaborative learning to the classroom,” said Perez. “Interactive displays are the first major step in education for intuitive technologies that let students engage with lesson content through high-definition imagery, as well as with the learning process and each other via touch technology.
