Show an iPad on the Projector using AirPlay

With the reduction of the number of classrooms with interactive display screens we are exploring the use of mobile devices as a great way to replace interactivity and open up lots of new possibilities for how you use the screen at the front of the classroom.

Every teaching computer in the School is now setup and ready for you to connect any iPad or Android device to the screen.  

You can even use the girls devices or phones so long as they are on the School Wifi.

1. Log in to the teacher computer.  The software will not work until someone has logged in.

2. Grab an iPad and unlock it.

3. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the settings drawer

4. Click on AirPlay Mirroring to view a list of available computers.  The first part is the building name, NC = Northcote, SH = School House etc...  The second is the room name.  

If you are unsure of your computer name then check for a sticker on the computer itself or ask IT Services.

5. When you choose a computer you will be prompted for a code.  The code will display on the computer screen as shown below.  Enter the code to complete the connection.

6.  Once connected the iPads screen will be shown in a window on the computer.  You can full screen this or move it around the computer.  

Did you know that you can connect multiple iPads at the same time to view them side by side?

Can't see your computer?  Try turning the iPads wifi off then on again to reset the list.
