This document discusses a wireless screen mirroring app called Splashtop that allows users to control their desktop computer from an iPad. It allows teachers to circulate around the classroom while still controlling presentations, opening links and apps. The app also provides digital annotation tools like highlighting and drawing on documents. Teachers can use it to display questions to students and have them respond directly on the iPad. Setup only requires downloading free apps to the desktop and iPad, and the iPad then detects nearby computers running the app to connect to wirelessly.

2.  Allows you to move around your room, yet
still be in control of your computer
 Wirelessly connects your ipad to your
desktop or classroom computer
 You can do anything from your ipad that you
can do directly from your desktop
 Cost: $19.99

3.  We all know the importance of circulating
around the room during instruction
 Better than clickers that allow us to scroll
through a power point, but still limit us from
clicking on links, opening new windows, and
other such actions
 Colored pens (in the form of your finger!) are
available to write on top of
documents, circle, highlight, and emphasis
important points

4.  Can provide questions at end of period and
have students circle their answer, write in
their thoughts, or other type of interaction
to check for understanding
 With splashtop whiteboard, we can do all the
activities and computer perusing we could do
sitting in our chair at our desk…except from
anywhere in the classroom!

5.  Once you’ve downloaded the app, you will
be given simple, clear, step by step
directions that are easy to follow
 In these directions, you will learn that you
will download a free and easy program on all
desktops that you plan to “take over” with
your iPad
 You only have to download this one time
 When you’re ready to instruct from your
ipad, simply open the app, and your ipad will
search and find any nearby computers that
have the downloaded program
