Congratulations!
Exciting technology opportunity!
You do not have to accept the Mimio. If you feel that you will not use it or be able to integrate it into your instruction, please let me know. If you don't want it, I will find someone else who is interested. The most important thing is that whoever accepts them uses them in the classroom.
If you are excited to have a Mimio and say yes, the district will offer some professional development. However, you will be expected to explore resources on your own to determine how to effectively use this technology to enhance your instruction.
Please let me know by Tuesday, September 17 if you are interested or if you would prefer me to ask someone else instead. You can either tell me in person or send me an email at messig@d124.org. If you have any questions, please let me know!
Thanks for your time!
