Connect it to your Smartboard!
The easiest way to connect your iPad to your board is to use a mirroring software on your computer. Using a mirroring software gives you the ability to quickly jump from displaying your iPad to using other programs on your computer. Check out reflector or Air Server. Most mirroring software also allows you to record what you are doing on the iPad. (You can use this to show students how to find a specific app or log into an app on the iPad.)
- Other options include hardwiring the iPad to the board using a VGA or HDMI adapter. These options do not allow you to easily switch between iPad mirroring and programs on your computer.
- Apple TV is another popular option that allows you to mirror your iPad onto a Smartboard.
