Mimio Resources:

You must have Mimio Interactive Software on your computer in order to be able to use these files.

* Some of the files below are marked with *: this indicates that file has been imported from a 'Common File Format' - an issue with the display of these is that you will have to Zoom In and then Scroll to the North West on Page 1 of each


Note that MimioStudio can also open

  • SMART Notebook files (.notebook type) so visit our page at smart_-_ireland.html

  • Gaeilge
    • Dathanna Dathanna: an exercise (i nGaeilge) to learn the names of colours. ...Left-click to run directly or Right click (and Save As) Dathanna.ink (204 KB) This particular file also has some pictures in it - these are downloaded within the file so you don't have to do anything extra. However, there are also some Sounds included: while the Mimio file will still work (but you won't hear anything!) it may be useful to download these sounds separately. I have created an Archive ('zipped') file which you can download dathanna.zip (445 KB) . After you download this, Windows (or a third-party program) can 'unzip' this file for you: right-click on the downloaded file and choose 'Extract All'. If both the downloaded dathanna.ink (mimio file) and the dathanna Folder are, for example, on the Desktop, you will now hear the sounds from the Mimio file. To change location (in order to keep the Desktop tidy), save the Folder called 'Dathanna' in the same folder location as your Mimio file called dathanna.ink.
