On this Multimedia tool, participants can explore on their lap tops different literacy ideas for students to interact with. By clicking on the lessons for synonyms and antonyms, you will be transferred to PBSkids and interact with Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Students can listen to songs, create stories, and watch videos. This is one example of lessons that can be created with Mimio. =====
