As the iPad makes us more and more mobile, there are still a few school and classroom tasks that require sitting in front of a computer desktop. Imagine if you no longer had to sit at your desk, but could connect to and control your computer desktop - or your Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) - from anywhere in your classroom. In this webinar, you will learn how to do just that by using your iPad and Splashtop Remote. Chris Casal will show how you can use Splashtop to operate your computer desktop and perform annotations and other IWB tasks directly from your iPad. You will also discover what sets Splashtop apart from other Virtual Network Control (VNC) apps and ensures a more stable, reliable connection.

19. Keep in mind
Remote Desktop is literally a remote control
of your computer
Not an Interactive White Board replacement
control your IWB remotely from your iPad
use WITH your IWB, not instead of
not a replacement, an enhancement
Access your desktop anywhere on your
network
depending on your district’s firewall, you
might be able to access your computer

20. Summary
$4.99 is well worth the expense to take full
advantage of the mobility of the iPad
$19.99 for the Whiteboard app is great if you
have a laptop & projector but no IWB
the iPad isn’t a replacement of other
technology items, it is an enhancement, a value
added item
your whiteboard is a focal point of your
classroom, but now you don’t have to be at it to
use it

21. Closing
Your iPad is a mobile device, use Splashtop
Remote Desktop, or any VNC app, to make the
most immobile of technology, your Interactive
White Board, accessible from anywhere...
