Overall Satisfaction with Miro
I use Miro to support learning and group work in college math courses that are being taught "synchronous remote", which means we meet in Zoom at a scheduled class time. For presentations, Miro is preferable to a traditional slide show because students can review past slides if I move on to another slide before they are ready and can work on the slides for student presentations. For group work, students have a common workspace and can share and review each other's work.
- Participants have access to all the material all the time.
- It provides a common workspace with easy-to-use tools that encourage collaboration and creativity.
- It is reliable. I teach multiple classes a day, five days a week, and Miro has ALWAYS worked.
- I create PDF files with lots of equations and mathematical symbols and "sometimes" I have to export them to JPG in order to have them import correctly into Miro.
- Even though I am teaching remotely, I get to know my students better and am able to give them more individualized instruction and feedback.
- Ease of customization allows me to come prepared and still be flexible in response to students' needs.
I haven't used Miro for class projects yet.

Two years ago, Miro had better features for the price. Since then, I haven't tried another product because Miro has worked so well.
