iPads and SMART Boards

[Ann Zimmer]

Here's a question....... I have teachers who have iPad apps and want them to be able to project and use them on the SMART Board? Any ideas? Thanks guys!

Since you can't really use the SMART Board to directly interact with an iPad (we don't have drivers made for running a SMART board with iOS), you might want to try looking for a Remote Desktop application.  Basically, one that allows you to share your iPad's home screens with your computer and interact with it.  from there, you could interact with the computer, and by indirect association, the iPad via the computer its been connected to.

 

(crude) connection diagram would look like this:

 

iPad >>>>> (connecting with a remote desktop app) < Computer (Displaying iPad home screens via remote desktop app) >>>>>> (Direct connection via USB/BT) < SMART Board

I do use SPLASH top which let's my iPad emulate my computer...... but I want my iPad apps to work on the SMART board.... so it's the computer emulating the iPad.Make sense?
