Miro Tools

Interactive Tools

When digital documents such as worksheets from textbooks are added to the board, they appear just like static images. However, Miro is an interactive platform. You can type directly on anything, including even the thinnest line you draw, and freely adjust the color, size, and shape of all elements.

Fill in the Blanks

As a teacher at Lhexis, I make a few adjustments to lesson materials using Miro tools before sharing them with students. For example, in fill-in-the-blank exercises, I place a rectangle over each blank and predefine the font size and color for the expected answers. Once everything is ready, I share the materials. All the student needs to do is click the blanks and type their answers.

Matching

Many other types of exercises can be done without any prior adjustments. For matching activities, students can simply draw lines between items.

Drawing-Based Exercises

Students can answer multiple-choice questions or highlight text using simple tools like a pen. The tools introduced so far eliminate the need not only for physical books but also for notebooks and pens. Since exercises can be completed directly on the board, this setup offers a more practical and trackable digital workspace compared to the traditional paper-based format.

Google Drive

Lesson materials are stored in Miro, while supporting content like audio files and answer keys is neatly organized in Google Drive folders. For easy access, these folders are also listed within Miro.

Dinleme Dosyaları

Listening exercises are an important part of both lessons and homework. Since audio files are played by the teacher through the video conferencing app (Zoom), students don’t need to access Google Drive during the lesson. And although the audio is hosted on Drive, it continues to play in the background just like a YouTube video. This makes it easy for students to complete their homework.

Answer Keys

Since students can change the colors of objects in Miro, they can easily mark their mistakes when comparing their answers with the answer key.

This way:

• The teacher can quickly see where the student made mistakes and provide explanations or share extra resources.

• Repeated mistakes reveal what’s missing more clearly over time.

• As all work accumulates on the same board, the pattern of correct and incorrect answers forms a kind of visual progress chart.

This allows both the student and the teacher to comfortably track the learning journey.

Comment Tool

People with access can tag each other and send messages within the board. The main purpose of this is to communicate with people who aren't currently on the board. Since comments can be added to any object, they’re great for sharing tasks, directions, or simple requests without needing to go into too much detail.

iFrame – Embedded YouTube Links

A YouTube video has two different types of links: the regular share link at the top, and an “embed” (iFrame) link that appears when you click the Share button. With this second type of link, YouTube videos and playlists can be embedded directly into a Miro board and played without ever leaving the platform.
