Entering Equations into Mimio

Is there is better way to enter equations into mimio? Currently, when I have to enter polynomials or quadratic equations that I want in an ink file I need to have microsoft word open, use its equation editor, and use a screen clipping. Is there any easier way? Is this something that the mimio engineers could work on to include with the mimio updates?

equations

I do not think that there is a simple way to enter equations. I always have several programs open when I am creating a mimio lesson. I know that the it is worth the effort when I use the lessons in my classes. The students are engaged when I use these lessons.

I use the program Math Type. I tried using the equation editor in word but I did not like using a screen clipping because the background was not transparent. The colors were not clear. They seemed to have some black around the edges. These problems do not exist with math type.

For polynomials that do not require many special characters, I can type in mimio notebook using alt codes. I found these codes on the internet and copied and pasted them into a word document. I open this file as a reference when working on a mimio lesson.

I use the program Handy Graph to insert graphs into my mimio files. At times, I will use a screen capture from my calculator or the calculator software but again I like transparent backgrounds which I can have with Handy Graph.

Does anyone know if the

Does anyone know if the people who update/create mimio software are working on incorporating some of these equation typing capabilities into a new version of mimio software? For instance, typing fractions, square roots, etc? This would make life much easier on the math teachers!

equation writer

Windows 7 now has an equation writer built into the OS. This may be all that you need.
