“Science education in the United States is frequently described as ‘a mile wide and an inch deep,’” said Manny Perez, Mimio’s general manager. “As schools attempt to cover everything from physical science to life science, nothing is taught or learned in sufficient depth, a problem that really plagues science education. Our goal in developing MimioScience was to design a teaching tool that effectively and efficiently distills science teaching to its fundamental core elements: concepts, principles, and processes. The lessons’ targeted activities give students a way to apply and extend what they’ve learned through application and inquiry.”

Mimio has always been committed to delivering amazing innovation across our hardware, software and content offerings.  Today, we are pleased to announce our newest initiative – a collaboration developed in order to work to close student achievement gaps.  This new alliance gives us a unique opportunity to help educators leverage our best-in-class interactive whiteboard and student response system technologies with DigiCore’s common core standards aligned, integrated platform of supplemental digital math and language arts lessons and assessments for students in grades K-8.

MimioReading™ Software is in a Growing Number of Iowa Schools and Local After-School Organizations

In recent months we have had a great deal of news to share with you, our friends and customers, about Mimio’s proven educational tools.

Recently a customer asked us the following question: “I have been asked many times how Mimio got its name. Since the name can refer to the older mimeo duplicating machine, people ask why?” We are fortunate because one of the founders of our company happens to be our General Manager, Manny Perez, so we were able to quickly get our answer. Here’s what Manny had to say:

The opportunities for learning that collaborative classrooms offer have been discussed by educators in different venues. Some of these opportunities include the potential for taking a more active role in one’s own learning, developing critical thinking, and increasing participation.
