Boy, oh boy...how time flies! Seems like we were just starting the year, now the kids are bringing home report cards to end the first quarter. October brings with it many opportunities for us to visit with folks as we'll be all throughout the area attending shows and conference. Check out the complete list here this month and be sure to reach out to us to schedule a visit at your school while we are in the area. The end of the quarter also brings with it the beginning of the holiday season, so be sure to keep an eye out for creative templates or resources from Mimio as they always do an excellent job of providing holiday content.

GradeCam is still receiving calls from customers who are still using Windows XP and wondering why they are experiencing issues.
If your district is still using Windows XP, please realize that Microsoft stopped supporting that version in April 2014. Therefore, the only thing GradeCam can really do is provide a plug-in that may be "compatible" with XP.
However, the usage of GradeCam in an XP environment is not supported.

Mimio Fall Webinar Series
Mimio's Fall Webinar series kicked off in late September with a webinar by Nebraska's own Jason Schmidt on Seamless Integration of Curriculum and Technology.
Most recently, Technology Director Dr. Roland Rios presented Classroom Collaboration with Mimio, where participants learned many tips and suggestions for using the updated tools in MimioStudio 11, as well as the MimioMobile application, to encourage collaboration in the classroom. Remember, if you cannot attend these webinars, go ahead and register for the webinar, and the recording and webinar Q&A sheet will be emailed to you. It is a great way to get the information when it is convenient for you. Coming up on October 23, 2014, is the webinar Getting More From Your Lessons with Mimio. Mimio Masters Lindy George and Claire Pavia will offer instructional design tips that will make your students' learning experience much more interactive. In addition, they'll show you how you can incorporate mobile devices to make lessons more engaging and collaborative. This webinar will be great for current Mimio users who want to improve the Mimio lessons that they create. Register today!
