A TECHNOLOGY EXPERIENCE I HAD THIS WEEK  DESCRIPTION: This past week we have received four Mimios. The district technology leader held two professional development days. The first day, she showed us the basic concepts and how to set it up. On the second day, we were able to actually use it and create indiviual accounts. The other science teacher and I tried to work with the science content section. There was a question and answer session. However, some of my questions were unable to be answered because the technology leader was unsure of alot of things. As of right now, we can sign out the Mimios, however we only have one projector that everyone has to share.

IMPACT: During the two days, I learned a couple of basics. I now have some idea what a Mimio is and how to work it. I have created an account and have worked hands on with the device. There are alot of things I need to do on my own so that I can become more familiar with program.

INTENT: After the two days, the capabilities of the device are still unclear. I have had experience with a SMART Board, however the Mimo is new to me. I have created an account for the Mimo, so I will work with the program and try to create some of my own material to use on it. I am going to research the device the best I can to try and take advantage of it. I want to incorporate the device into my curriculum the best I can. However, before I can do that I need to know how to work the device in and out and be aware of its capabilities.
