How to Use Miro for Teaching

Quick summary

This walkthrough shows educators how to use Miro as a teaching tool by building an interactive lesson board with Kanban layouts, sticky notes, frames, voting sections, and presentation mode. Teachers can turn a blank Miro canvas into a fully structured, collaborative classroom experience that students can edit and respond to in real time.

Steps

1. Start with a blank board or a template and name your Miro board.
2. Make your students co-creators by leveraging Miro beyond a standard whiteboard.
3. Add a Kanban board to create your lesson overview.
4. Use frames and sticky notes to collect responses and reflections from your students.
5. Customize sticky notes by adding texts, colors, and changing fonts using the toolbar.
6. Add titles to each of your frames to structure your lesson visually.
7. Add a voting section to poll opinions or gather quiz answers.
8. Add shapes and text to make your board interactive.
9. Add comments to give feedback or instructions to students.
10. Add another frame to let students illustrate ideas or annotate content.
11. Right-click and export your lesson by clicking 'Export as PDF'.
12. Click 'Present' to use presentation mode and guide students live, allowing them to participate by editing or commenting.
