I am preparing to give a teacher's perspective on using iPads and iPods in the classroom in a few weeks. (Don't worry- I will share all my ideas and handouts with you guys as well.) I discovered a new toy that I think is pretty awesome. In fact, it is on my "must have" list. This little, portable device is called Apple TV. I will be using this for the first time during my presentation so I will let you know how it goes.
It allows your iPad 2, iPhone 4S, and such into the remotes so you can project your image onto your Promethean boards or TVs in school. Best yet, it is wireless!
I know many teachers are asking how to users their iPads with their boards and there are many ways. This is just one way... but this way allows the users and views more bang for their buck. (I would hate to spend $30 on an adapter when this is more, but wireless and has so many more options.)
I would love to use this to demonstrate apps to my class. I hope that one day I get one and I can list a whole bunch of other reasons to use it.
How could you or would you use this device in your school?
How do you project your Apple device if you do not have one of these Apple TVs?

I bought an adapter to connect my iPad to my promethean board but I never thought about using my appleTV. I can't wait to hear more about how you use it. Thanks for the great info. Look forward to more!
