With Apple TV, you can use AirPlay to wirelessly stream the content on an iPad to any HDTV. Use it to lead a class brainstorm, or walk everyone through a presentation. Your students can connect with Apple TV just as easily, giving them the ability to share projects and other work on the big screen. And with iOS 8, students and teachers can also connect iPad to Apple TV without first connecting to the school network. This means anyone in the class can present or share their work even if they are not on the network or if Apple TV is on a different network.

Students (on the same network as the Apple TV) can quickly and easily share their work with the whole class. 

 

Ways to use the Apple TV in your Classroom alongside an ipad device:

  • Simple be untethered – freedom to move around.

  • Demonstrate apps or sites

  • Display pictures of student/teacher work

  • If you have more iPads in the room, students can share their screen on the Apple TV

  • Students/Teacher can present/share from anywhere in the room.

  • Annotate documents live with your students

  • Using iBooks and highlighting sections/words for discussion

  • Display Apps so all students can see on a big screen (Ex. Explain Everything, Book Creator, etc)

  • Mirror your iPad’s screen onto a television, monitor, projector, and / or interactive whiteboard (IWB)

  • Watch specific YouTube or Vimeo videos without having to use a seperate device.

  • Watch National Geographic media with no need for a subscription to cable or even a television.

  • Watch live events or news from around the world with Sky News or the new CNN Go app.

  • Hold a Skype Classroom chat with another classroom using your iPad but mirror the screen onto your projection screen so everyone can get involved.
