Step into any business school classroom and you’ll hear the groans of students buried under a mountain of content and data. Their digital desks are a chaos of endless WhatsApp threads, cluttered Google Docs, URLs, and academic cases. Amid this clutter, some adventurous souls try to navigate using tools like Notion, Almanac, or Slite. Yet, despite these efforts, everything still blurs into a relentless stream of text.
Enter Miro, a gleaming beacon in the fog of conventional text-based collaboration. This isn’t just another tech tool. In the conservative corridors of bschool’s, Miro (alongside options like Mural and Figjam) is nothing short of revolutionary. Here’s the typical scene: students overwhelmed by overlapping courses and team projects, losing sight of the goal. But Miro changes the game. It transforms the relentless text flow into a vibrant visual canvas where ideas don’t just sit idle—they dance, connect, and come alive.
The transformation is palpable. Students encountering Miro for the first time are visibly dumbfounded—wide-eyed and wonderstruck. It’s akin to the first time they peel off a piece of scotch tape. Sure, the learning curve is steep, but the benefits are colossal. Miro isn’t just about organizing tasks; it’s about reshaping how we communicate, innovate, and inspire one another.
Miro has turned the mundane into the magical in my classes, prompting students to rethink their approach to communication, time management, and collaborative sharing. It encourages better teamwork and a more seamless integration of ideas. I see a vast potential for productivity and creative apps to revolutionize campus life, turning education into a process not just of consuming information, but of creating and envisioning. If Miro has transformed your academic or creative journey, drop a comment below. Let’s inspire others to make the leap and see where it takes them.
PS* I have no affiliation with Miro and as such, no financial interests, or benefits.
I have used both Miro and FigJam. I think they are great collaborative tools, especially when you’re in a group setting that needs to brainstorm.
