Kind Words From A Happy Customer    
   
We received a nice email from customer Rhonda Turner last month that reassured us of the quality tech support that Mimio provides, as well as lifted our spirits.
 
Mr. Frank,

Thank you for your email.  Mimio is working great.  The teachers are really excited about using Mimio.

A compliment to pass along.  One of our teachers experienced a Teach stylus that stopped working.  I contacted Mimio tech support and a new stylus was shipped right out.  Engaging Technologies is a great place to purchase Mimio and a great source for after the sale help.

Thank you!!

Thank you, Rhonda, for sharing your Mimio tech support experience with us and for your kind words!  
Product Updates
Mimio Releases New Document Camera With HD Imaging 

Mimio released a new document camera this month, a fantastic upgrade to the MimioView. Like the MimioView, this camera fits in seamlessly to the Mimio Classroom Suite. However, the new MimioView 340H document camera allows you to instantly capture HD pictures and live HD video (1920x1080) to incorporate into your lesson. 

In addition, the new model of the MimioView document camera uses a single USB (Type B) connection vs. the previous mini USB connection, providing increased reliability with the connection and connector.

Engaging Technologies In Action

MimioCapture at West Valley Trauma Center   

 Teachers who are extremely comfortable teaching with a chalkboard or whiteboard can sometimes find technology integration in the classroom disconcerting.  They have a good rhythm going and may be resistant to going full circle to something new.  


The MimioCapture allows educators to take advantage of technology and the ability to easily broadcast and share notes written on a whiteboard, but allows the presentor to use the good ole' standby - dry erase markers.

If you're interested in how MimioCapture works, take a peek at the video below in which Fred Killingbeck of Wizard Education gives an impromptu lesson to better understand Congestive Heart Failure (CHF).
