MimioClassroom Product Suite Nominated for AV Awards 11

DYMO/Mimio Named Finalist in “Systems Product of the Year” Category for AV Interactive’s Premier Industry Award

London – August 11, 2011 - DYMO/Mimio has been named a finalist in the AV Awards 11 competition for its MimioClassroom product suite. The multi-award-winning product line was selected by a panel of judges as a top contender in the “Systems Product of the Year” category for offering an innovative range of products that work independently or seamlessly together, are easy to use and very affordable. Winners will be announced at a gala dinner on Friday, September 30 at the Hilton on Park Lane, London.

Established by AV Interactive, the UK’s leading audio-visual publication, the AV Awards recognize the best AV companies and projects and publicize high-quality work happening across the industry. Now in its 12th year, the AV Awards is the only award to examine the industry’s breadth and depth and celebrate the industry’s best.

“We are excited to be considered among the world’s leading AV technology providers for this coveted industry award,” says Laurence Huntley, general manager, DYMO/Mimio. “We designed the MimioClassroom product suite with teachers and students in mind, creating products that were not only intuitive and easy for both teachers and students to use, but that would also get students engaged and excited to learn. To be recognized for this work by such a well-known and respected establishment as AV Interactive is truly an honor.”

The MimioClassroom product suite comprises the MimioTeach™ interactive system, the MimioCapture™ ink capture system, the MimioVote™ assessment system, the MimioPad™ wireless tablet, the MimioView™ document camera and the MimioStudio™ software. These components seamlessly integrate, saving teachers from the hassle and frustration of learning complex system components with different and unrelated user interfaces.

MimioClassroom products can be purchased individually or together. Its MimioStudio software provides a common user interface among the MimioClassroom products, saving users precious training time. A highly affordable solution, the MimioClassroom suite enables schools to teach interactively at a fraction of the cost of similar technology.

DYMO/Mimio currently holds various design and utility patents and continues to make strides in designing interactive teaching technology tools that help teachers save time, are easy to use and set up, and allow teachers to simply teach.
