My district no longer purchases Elmos. This has been a really fantastic and affordable solution! I love mine!

I was excited to come upon MirrorMeThis last year when I was attempting to teach students over Zoom. It was a blessing! I used mine pretty much every day, and quickly got one for each of my students. It was great for checking planners, and was much less awkward than holding books or materials up in front of the camera. 

I use Math manipulatives a lot, and could never see what the students were doing off camera. (Though I frequently knew it had nothing to do with my lesson!) It was impossible for some of them to explain in words when they weren't understanding, but with MirrorMeThis they could show me and I could see in a glance.

I loved being able to keep them on task with encouragement, which I can do now because I can see them working in real time. It was also wonderful to be able to correct them quickly, when before so much time was lost waiting for students to tell me when they were ready to go on, or wasted by repeating tasks if there had been a misunderstanding.

Even having their materials sitting ready on camera before beginning a lesson was such a time saver and stress reliever for me. That simple little mirror really helped us to connect in a more personal way despite the distance.

In the future I plan to have the students give or record demonstrations using their mirrors. Even the ones who didn't want their faces on camera were willing to play with their Mirrors. Thanks for making my life easier and my teaching better.

My Honors Geometry student needs to be able to take words and turn them into a math diagram. He must show me the geometric diagram he has drawn before he starts to complete the work.

With my regular Calculus student, I need a much faster way to "SEE" the notation and step by step work that he is doing in real time. Waiting for him to take a scan or pict, to then upload or email, for me to open/download, to provide him feedback all while still teaching the class just isn't working. MirrorMeThis solves this need for real-time back and forth.

This is really cool! I’ve done so many things to make writing show up...phone connected and stacked on cans was the best I had. Ha. But it didn’t allow kids to show me - just me to show them. I do think young kids could use this. I’d love to try it!!!

It's a little periscope - a mirror at 45 degrees. Attach it to the webcam on a laptop and you can write/draw under it to show on a zoom meeting. Like a present day overhead projector.

Thank you for those amazing gadgets. They solve so many problems. It's great when Charlie uses it because then I can see his writing.

My mom is an artist and I thought this would be an amazing way for her to craft with my daughter during Covid!!

These are wonderful, what an incredible tool! Teachers are bringing home large projectors to try to do similar work — but this is much better!

During science class I used MirrorMeThis to showcase several different species of milkweed.

— Kimberly, Homeroom Teacher, New Hampshire

Those mirrors are amazing!!! It’s awesome for the kids to show their work, especially when using manipulatives they can’t hold up.

MirrorMeThis will be super helpful for some students, especially those in art electives or data-driven classes like economics.  This will be very beneficial for a lot of the teachers, specifically in the math department.  Many of those teachers already have tablets and styluses they screen share with to show handwritten work, but they tend to have trouble operating the tablets correctly.  Also, many teachers seem to prefer writing on paper to writing on a tablet.

MirrorMeThis is a benefit to my teaching students when we are working on orthographic and isometric drawings by hand.

My daughter, who is a HS senior, wishes her MATH teacher would use a MirrorMeThis instead of trying to use her mouse to show how her students how to do their maths.  She said her teacher’s mouse-handwriting is illegible and SLOW; she thinks a MirrorMeThis would be perfect — then her teacher could use her pencil on a piece of paper.  Voila…problem solved!

Today in my poetry class I needed to draw a template for my students' poems and have them simultaneously draw along with me. Because my voice gets muffled when I hold up my drawing/paper to the screen, I needed to speak, hold up my paper, and then put down my paper to draw the next step, explain it verbally, and then hold it up again. With the MirrorMeThis, I can do this all in one fluid step, drawing the template at the same time as I speak to the students and they do their template drawings.

I saw Leslie today and she mentioned that her document camera stopped working, but she remembered the MirrorMeThis and it saved her science lesson. The fact that it doesn't need a tech support person to operate is definitely a bonus.

— Becky, Grade 4 Teacher, Vermont

Wow that is exactly what we need! We were talking yesterday with our daughters on how they wanted to share their drawing skills with their friends and we were thinking about elaborate setups with microphone stands and clamps for a phone and such for a tabletop recording - but this will make that so much easier! :)
