Answer:
Inserting backgrounds into your lessons directly from your saved pictures is so easy! With MimioStudio open, choose Insert-Background-Image. Browse for the picture you want, and open it. At this point, you can also choose how you want the picture placed, and whether it is to go on one page or on all pages of the lesson. Click OK, and the picture becomes the background of your page.

You can also save your favorites in your Gallery for ease of retrieval. With the Gallery open, click on New Folder in the toolbar. This will open a folder, which you can name anything you like. To save pictures to this folder, choose Insert File from the Gallery toolbar. Choose your picture, and it will appear in the Gallery folder. This method will keep all your favorites in one place for future use.

Answer:

You are wondering how to search for content created by a specific member which is very easy to do! If you select “Members” from the menu bar on the MimioConnect home page and then scroll down about halfway to the bottom and you should see “Search Members” on the right hand side. Simply search for the user you are looking for and once you find them click on their name. On the right hand side you should see a “Members Profile” box with a green border. Click on “Lesson Plans and Activities” and you will find all lessons created by that user.

Question:

How do you view individual results from your class on mimio vote? I have the test working perfectly with the votes but I don't know how to view the results. All I can get is a pie graph which doesn't tell me who voted already or who knows the right answer. Please help.

Thank you for your recent submission to Ask A Master on MimioConnect. We are so happy to have you as part of our growing online community. You are asking about viewing individual students results after using MimioVote. These results can be viewed from the MimioStudio Gradebook. Not only can you use the Gradebook to see student scores on assessments, but you can see how they did on each question.
