Using AirServer on the PC with an iPad

Image
Recently, our district stumbled upon a little software package called AirServer . We hadn't looked at it much in the past because it was originally available for only Mac computers. Now that it includes support for Windows machines, we can fully implement it across our district. Our teachers have reported a much higher level of success and satisfaction from this versus using an Apple TV (see the company's comparison here ). Several of the main factors are: A teacher doesn't have to switch inputs on the projector to see what is on their iOS device on the big screen, it runs on the computer and the mirrored image comes up automatically. Included in that idea is that there is no need for extra cables, it runs through the same connection as the computer. The size of the mirrored image can be tailored to fit the personal needs/wants of a teacher or the occasion. Go full screen when you need to, or resize the window to have it sit side by side with another image already on
