This document provides an overview of using AirPlay to project content from iPads onto a classroom display. It discusses how AirPlay allows teachers freedom of movement while presenting and enables student collaboration by having students project content from their own devices. The document outlines the objectives of learning about AirPlay, how it works, and two key features of freedom of movement and collaboration. It provides examples of using AirPlay for student presentations and interactive lessons. Finally, it suggests some education apps that can be used with AirPlay like Nearpod for interactive lessons and Socrative for quizzes.

7. Two great features

8. Freedom
Airplay allows you to walk around the classroom while
presenting from your iPad.
For example:
■ Use your iPad for your presentations through an interactive
Power Point, or other app.
■ Show content from your iPad using many of the available
apps.
■ Use your iPad to pre-record a lesson and have a substitute
present it.

9. Collaboration
Airplay allows students to project their content, to share their
ideas and collaborate with the rest of the class.
For example:
Students can project from their seats allowing them to become
active participants of the class.
Or they can produce projects in their own iPads and present at
the board.
They can bring questions from homework and project from their
own electronic device.

device mirrors it shrinks the others on the computer’s screen to make
room.
