Clever Boards

Unlike the Smart board, the clever board is not touch sensitive and requires a special, battery powered pen to function. Early generation Clever Boards have a 9pin RS232 connection that uses a Virtual Ink Mimio adapter to convert to USB and do the magic. Later versions have a USB connection straight in.

Using Mimio Software

Mimio Mouse is the software used to allow write on the board, highlight areas etc.

Allowing on the board writing

  1. Start Mimio
  2. Put your desired document / backdrop on the screen (e.g. a Word Document)
  3. Click the pen on the "mimio mouse" box
  4. Write what you want on the board
  5. then use capture (the camera icon on the Mimio Mouse bar) to take a screenshot of the work.

Mimio Mouse Controversy

When you elect to use the Mimio mouse software and begin writing, you are actually then seeing a screenshot of what was on the screen as you started. If you ALT+TAB away from Mimio Mouse you won't be able to write without switching back.
