E d Te c h S h o w D a i l y Th u r s d a y, Fe b ru a r y 6 , 2 0 1 4 2 6 ELMO ADDS TT-12I TO CLASSROOM SOLUTIONS ELMO Company Ltd., a leader in educa- tion technology for more than 90 years, recently launched the all new TT-12i Document Camera. The TT-12i, the suc- cessor to the popular TT-12 document camera, is now webcam compatible and UVC compliant, which means it will seamlessly interface with other technolo- gy in the classroom. A component of the popular ELMO Classroom Solutions bundle, the TT-12i displays and enlarges any type of teaching material with vivid, true color reproduction. The webcam capability of the TT-12i enhances lessons with increased interac- tion and participation. If a student is absent, the teacher has the ability to record the lesson and upload it to the Internet. The absent student will be able to instantly watch the recorded lesson and keep up with the rest of the class. The TT-12i also has the capability to save live images, play back saved images, pause live images and record time lapse video. A zoom dial and autofocus button allow users to see the tiniest details. When its 12x optical zoom is combined with its 8x digital zoom, images can be enlarged up to 96x. The TT-12i camera column rotates 300 degrees and the camera arm rotates 180 degrees for virtually unlimited angles. Classroom presentations can be saved on external memory such as an SD card or USB flash drive. The TT-12i can be connected to a computer screen, a projector or a monitor to suit your classroom needs. Some of the exciting fea- tures the TT-12 has to offer include split screen, highlight and mask feature. With the TT- 12i, audio enhancement can be added to classroom presenta- tions via the built-in microphone or an external microphone input. As an alter- native to those teachers who do not want to worry about connecting to a comput- er, the TT-12i can be used as a stand- alone product. The CRA-1 Wireless Tablet, another component of the ELMO Classroom Solutions bundle, allows users to anno- tate on a live image from anywhere in the room. The Wireless Tablet works seam- lessly with the TT-12i, and the teacher can conduct the lesson while walking around the classroom and interact- ing with his or her students. If a computer is accessible, the teacher has unlimited possibil- ities with ELMO's Image Mate Accent for SRS software. Image Mate Accent works with the third component of ELMO's Classroom Solutions, the Student Response System. ELMO's Student Response System allows teachers to quiz students in real time to receive instant feedback from each student, while keeping stu- dents engaged and focused throughout the lesson. The TT-12i, CRA-1 Wireless Tablet and Student Response System all work seamlessly together to create ELMO Classroom Solutions. Visit ELMO at booth 1435.

GET THE MOST OUT OF CLASSROOM MOBILE DEVICES WITH MIMIOMOBILE The MimioMobile application is the lat- est addition to the MimioClassroom fam- ily of products. MimioMobile allows for classroom interaction with Apple and Android devices. The MimioMobile application can be used in multiple ways. Teachers can use MimioMobile to control their desk- top from their mobile device, share con- trol of the desktop with student devices, turn student devices into student response pads and create a collaborative learning environment in the classroom. MimioMobile allows teachers to send an activity from MimioStudio to up to nine different student devices. These students can then work simultaneously on the MimioStudio activity as the teacher or the entire class watches their progress. The student work can then be saved onto the teacher's computer. "The way the MimioMobile app push- es activities out to student tablets is a really exciting feature," Doug Pennekamp, CEO of Education 2000, said. "Teachers can send an interactive work page to students on their mobile devices and the teacher can monitor the work of each student." Student devices can also be used for assessments with MimioMobile. Students can respond to multiple-choice questions, numeric, short-answer and short-essay questions. The teacher receives the student responses and feed- back immediately. "There in no longer a need for the classroom sets of stu- dent response pads that many schools have used in the past," Pennekamp said. "The mobile devices that students most likely already have can be used in replace of those classroom sets with MimioMobile." The MimioMobile application also allows the teacher to control the comput- er desktop from anywhere in the class- room. The teacher can then pass control of the desktop to any student that is logged in to the class. "The teacher can choose what student they want to respond and send the comput- er screen to that student's device without the student even getting out of their seat," Pennekamp said. "The MimioMobile app allows for stu- dent tablets and phones to be used in multiple ways that makes learning and classroom participation fun." To use MimioMobile, teachers link the MimioMobile application downloaded on the mobile devices to the MimioStudio classroom software on the teacher computer. Current Mimio users can use MimioMobile for a free 30-day trial period. MimioMobile currently works with iPads, iPhones, iPod Touch and Android devices 3.0 with Honeycomb or higher. MimioMobile will also work with the MimioPad 2 wireless pen tablet and the MimioVote assessment system.
