Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I am an ESL teacher and conduct all my online lessons using Miro. Since I tried it for the first time, I fell in love with the features and tools it offers for lesson presentations. I can attach videos, audios, mind maps, pictures, emojis, and stickers to interact with my students. I can also use a timer during my lessons, which is very helpful both for me as a teacher and for my students. I can bring all the students to me on Miro when they get a bit lost on the board, so I don't need to waste time explaining where to find me.

Additionally, it is easy to operate, and I love the feature that allows me to hide my lesson from the student so they wouldn't see it in advance. I love Miro and can talk endlessly about how great it is for my work. I also use Miro for my other projects. What I would like to add to Miro is a tool that allows me to attach videos in different formats from my computer, because currently, I can only do it from YouTube. Thank you to everyone who brought Miro to life.

Pros

  • can attach photos , videos from internet, audios from your Google Drive, emojis, stickers, images from Miro's tools
  • you can highlight, draw, erase your drawing, create any shapes and any size you want
  • you can zoom in and out endlessly (at least it looks like that)
  • you can copy-paste PDF, images, photos and pictures

Cons

  • Main problem is that I can attach video links from YouTube but I wish to be able to do that also from my computer files
  • There is a problem with the lines which I want to put for underlining new words in the text and the line is trying to connect wrong dots on the frame and doesn't want to stay in the middle of the text.
  • One more thing is that sometimes it takes time to load properly the board and the presentations on it.
  • I increased my price for the lesson when I started to use Miro.
  • It probably takes more time to create a well presented lesson as there are a lot of options and it boosts your creativity. But you lose time on making the choice.
  • Miro definitely creates more interest in students and it is easier to keep them engaged.
If I understood this question correctly, it is easy to combine it with other products like using Zoom and sharing the screen with Miro or put on Miro different online activities like games, quizzes and so on.
Yes, it is true. You can work on one project with different people being in different countries. And you can see changes in your project immediately. And the project can be huge, or different sizes so you don't neet to print something out and to send it or email it. It is very convenient and fast.
I haven't really tried any other similar products but I've heard about Edvibe and even whiteboard on Zoom has now similar features, but as soon as you finish your Zoom meeting the information is gone from the whiteboard.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Miro's feature set?

Yes

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

It is well suited to do different types of presentations, projects, mind maps, tables and so on, even for private purposes like creating to-do list, planners, files with images, PDF texts.

I don't really know where it is less appropriate. Only for people who do their jobs outside. Anyone who works in the office can use it for some purposes.
