Thank you for the great question! The MimioStudio Gallery has so many wonderful resources for teachers to use in lessons. The Racing Game can be found in the gallery, and can be used in conjunction with the MimioVote Assessment system.

Students will start their knowledge engines when you begin your race session with the Start template on any MimioStudio Notebook page. Next your students will be positioned for success with their MimioVote handheld units, as the anticipation of the red, yellow and green light countdown starts the race!

Students will now race to answer the question placed within a MimioStudio Notebook page using their MimioVote handheld units. The teacher can place a Progress template on the question page, or on the page following the question, and you will see it will automatically adjusts based upon the answers that students submit through the MimioVote units. The teacher can place the Progress template anywhere within your lesson, either on the question page, on a page of its own, or randomly throughout the lesson.

The Finish template can be used at the end of the activity, and it will show the top three places in the overall event. The Leaderboard template can be used at the end of the activity, and will show the overall places for the contest.

You will be happy to know that you have a few different options when it comes to inserting a table into your MimioStudio Notebook lesson. I’m not sure which application the table you are trying to insert is formatted in but you can try to copy and paste it in by right clicking on the table, select COPY and then once you are in MimioStudio Notebook simply right click again and select PASTE. You could also do this by using the menu options at the top of MimioStudio Notebook. If the copy/paste option doesn’t work you can always use the screen clipping tool (which is on your toolbar) to clip the chart and add it to your lesson. In this case it would be easy for the students to use various tools to annotate the table. Another option is to simply keep the table in its native application and use Screen Annotation which would freeze the screen and allow for you or your students to annotate the table. When using this method a copy of your annotations is automatically saved in your Gallery for future reference.

There is so much you can do with the amazing QuickVote! Remember you can use the QuickVote for on demand polling with any activity you are doing in your classroom. If you assign a class before polling you can also have results recorded in your Gradebook. Click HERE to watch a great video showing you all about the QuickVote feature! I would also recommend taking our wonderful FREE live QuickLearn sessions. You may find the MimioVote sessions particularly helpful. Click HERE to sign up!

What a great question! You can use the MimioStudio Vote Add-in function to create any type of MimioVote activity in Microsoft PowerPoint. MimioVote activities are created by adding question slides to a PowerPoint presentation. A Vote Add-in feature includes a variety of pre-formatted question slide templates to make creating activities in PowerPoint quick and easy. The Vote Add-in feature should have been added to PowerPoint when you installed the MimioStudio software. If you go into PowerPoint you should see an add-in button in the menu on the right. If you click this you should see vote objects over on the left that will allow you to enter vote questions into PowerPoint. You can’t open vote files in PowerPoint but you should be able to create vote questions based in here.
