Wish List

I was wondering if we could have a wish list for this site.

I'll go first.

It would be good to have a thumbnail picture of an activity - especially for those people with limited download availability.

Symbols Wish List

I have cheated a little, and did copy and paste some images into my gallery, but I wish for a gallery of mathematic symbols, letters with accents, and similar sorts for those of us creating our own math lessons and teaching foreign languages.

math symbols

What math symbols are you interested in having in your gallery. If I have any that you are interested in, I could upload them.

Another solution is to use Alt codes when writing a mimio lesson. You can find alt codes for foreign languages here

I hope that this helps.

Math Alt codes

Thank you so much for this site. I am often left hanging when it comes to typing math problems because the math symbols aren't available on the keyboard. This is awesome!

Lessons to use in the Media Center

I would love to hear about how media specialists are using the MIMIO in their media centers or in their media lessons. It would be great to start brainstorming how the MIMIO could be incorporated into media lessons you have been doing for years. How have you modified your lessons to fit the MIMIO into them? Has anyone done this?

it would be good to....

search for teachers by their location and subject (can you do this already?!). I am in England and I teach Geography but I have no idea (if indeed there are any others out there!!) who else it would be good to chat to regarding my curriculum and subject... and how they are using their Mimio!!!

Multiple page view

One of my wishes is to have the multiple view on the side of the page like PowerPoint to make drag and drop easy. The gallery has been static now for a long time and nothing new has been added. We need a load of Flash tools eg hundreds boards, clocks, protractors etc and science tools to use. The quality of some of the graphics is very poor, eg the maps and the Human body. They are not cutting edge.

Hi Jo, You are supposed to

Hi Jo, You are supposed to be on holiday. I would like more multimedia galleries and resources

- like a compass
- the protractor to have the numbers on
- a dice we can add numbers or letters to ourselves

Maybe this needs to be a separate forum. What do you think?
I wonder what other teachers want.

Thumbnails and suggestions

You stole my thunder! I was going to say exactly those two things. Thumbnails are a must IMHO. Once you've downoaded them it's too late. We need two or three visible screenshots of the pages to decide suitability or otherwise.
Also a suggestions page speaks for itself.

I don't know if this will be

I don't know if this will be much help, but I always choose to Open them first before I Save. Then I can get a quick view of what the lesson is without downloading, going to my folder, double clicking, and then opening.

So when I open, I go to the "Multi Page" tab and just snag only the slides that I like, and copy them to my own .ink file. This way I never had to save the actual file that I downloaded, unless I want the whole thing.

Thumbnails would be nice though.
