Software that shows the iPad on a computer screen wirelessly in the same room

Trotter

Hi all,

I got an iPad for Christmas and I'm a teacher. I have a smart board in my classroom that's hooked up to a windows 7 PC. We have a wireless access point on the network but the pc is connected by cable to the network.

A chap I know is confident that I can use my iPad while walking around the classroom and have it reflected onto the pc screen and therefore onto the smart board.

Can anyone tell me how I'd go about this? I can connect the iPad to the wireless network fine, which is connected to the general school network.

Thanks!

I think 'Airplay Mirroring' is what its called, but Im not sure if theres a windows 7 client for it

There's one called Splashtop. Basically you download a free streamer onto your computer and download the whiteboard application.

It's €15.99 which is steep for an app but it's definitely worth it when you think of the benefits of the iPad in the classroom.

I am surprised that apple would allow such a thing to be honest...

Apple TV but only if the computer you're using has a HDMI port.

Splash top and logmein which is free will display the pc on the iPad.

Logmein was about 20 euro and now it is free. I would download it.

Splash top has a free version to try I out.


If you want to display the iPad screen on a projector you would probably need a piece of hardware called an apple tv but it does no work with every app.

My recommendation would be to use logmein and control your pc from the iPad. This would mean thar you could run pc programmes on the iPad.

I'll check that out. Its ideally the other way around that I'm after though. I want to be able to see the iPad on the pc screen (the smart board will automatically just show what's on the pc screen then so I don't have to worry about that).

You can get the apple cable that allows the iPad to be shown on the projector screen.

I use both splashtop and teamviewer. Teamviewer I find is more easy to navigate around. Splashtop is handy when you want to stream a media file to the iPad
