Spent the last two days in Boston attending mimio train the trainer training. And yes, I even rode a train to get around in Boston. Anyway, for those who don’t know, mimio is a less expensive interactive whiteboard solution, one that is simpler than the other, more familiar boards.
One of the reasons for the cost effectiveness is that mimio does not rely on providing a board. There is a bar that attaches to any existing white board, so no need to remove an existing board, or retrofit a complicated room. The capture bar can be attached with simple picture hanging tape strips, so there isn’t any cost for installation either.
The training I received makes me excited to bring what I’ve learned back to the teachers in my district. And now that I’m certified, I can!

Maybe I should upgrade to pigeon for my next network upgrade. I wonder how long it would take my ISP to offer carrier pigeon as an option. Just think of the bundle of services: satellite TV, phone service, and Internet pigeons! Read the BBC article for more details.
