This document discusses using the iPad for education. It is divided into three parts. Part 1 discusses screencasting the iPad screen onto a large display using AirPlay. This allows lecturers to project teaching materials from their iPad while walking around the classroom. It describes the necessary equipment, including an iPad, Apple TV or Android box, HDMI to VGA converter if needed, and a wireless internet connection. Diagrams and step-by-step instructions are provided for setting up and using screencasting. Part 2 will discuss using iPad apps to create teaching materials, and Part 3 will cover using iTunesU to share materials with students.

Part 1 – Screencasting Using AirPlay.

6. Screencasting using AirPlay
Dr Azma projecting/mirroring wirelessly the screen of his iPad onto the screen.

7. Scenario
• Imagine you as the lecturer walking around the
class, teaching and talking at the same time,
using your iPad to project the teaching materials
onto the screen, not tethered to anything. Cool
isn’t it?isn’t it?
• Even cooler, students who want to present
anything or highlight anything, can also do the
same, projecting from their iPad/iPhone/iMac
directly onto the screen. A true democracy of
sorts. I really enjoyed doing that during class with
Dr Azma.

8. What do you need to screencast?
• In an ideal situation, the institution would
provide everything required such as wi-fi
connection, Apple TV and LCD Projector.
• The lecturer can just waltz into the classroom• The lecturer can just waltz into the classroom
with his/her iPad and start teaching.
• Unfortunately it is not so at most places, so
we have to create the necessary infrastructure
ourselves.

9. What do you need to screencast?
• iPad/iPhone/iMac – as the content source.
• Apple TV (RM729 for 32GB; RM949 for 64GB)
or Android box such as Minix Neo X8H
(RM690) with AirPin Pro – as the wireless(RM690) with AirPin Pro – as the wireless
receiver.
• TV/LCD Projector – as the display.
• HDMI to VGA converter with audio (RM60)– if
the display device only supports VGA.
• Wireless internet connection (wi-fi).
