General Questions
Can I still get DigiCore if I don't have MimioStudio?
Yes. DigiCore Online is web-based so no software is necessary.
Can I access my lessons from home?
Yes. Www.mydigicore.com can be accessed anywhere with Internet. (MimioStudio software, which can be downloaded at www.mimio.com, is required on your home computer if you have DigiCore for MimioStudio.)
Can I upload my own lessons to myDigiCore?
This feature is currently unavailable, but your ideas and/or requests for any lessons are warmly welcome! Our dedicated team is happy to take all feedback into consideration so that we can continue to accomodate all of your needs.
What is the difference between a lesson and an activity?
Lessons include all key elements of a lesson design and are for supplemental instruction, whereas activities contain less of a teaching component but more practice towards mastery.
What is the difference between a teacher note and a teacher recommendation?
A teacher note, usually visible at the top of a slide, is about the functionality of a slide (i.e. Click the gray box to reveal an example.), whereas a teacher recommendation in the form of a pull tab includes collaborative strategies to be used within the content of a particular slide (i.e. Have students work with a partner to think of an example before revealing it).
