Thinking about getting a pocket project. This looks sweet.

"This is great if you have an HDTV, but most classrooms do not. This is where the HP HDMI to VGA converter comes in. "

I'm confused. I think I might've missed something... Why do I need this app? All it does is what AirPlay does already, doesn't it? If one has an AppleTV connected to either a projector or a TV, using the built-in AirPlay iOS 5 feature I can see whatever I do on my iPad on the screen (projector or TV). AND if I simple connect my iPad to a projector via cable 90% of the apps have VGA out - it works. SO WHY do I need this app?

From reading the documentation it appears that this app will enable mirroring with the original iPad. Not having access to an original iPad at the moment I can't confirm this though. The app also works on the iPhone 4 according to the site.

"As an investment for 21st century teaching and learning Spring Cottage Primary School has invested in a MacBook Pro, 16 16GB iPad 2s in Key Stage 1, 16 16GB iPad 2s in Key Stage 2, 63 iPod touches for children in Year 6, Apple TV and new projectors in each classroom and a managed wireless system."

"Dreams come true, and I'm thrilled to share this one with you. Using the $15 Reflection App on an Apple computer, it's now possible to MIRROR the screen of an iPad2 or iPhone4S right on your screen. This essentially makes your Apple computer function like an AppleTV for iOS mirroring, except you don't need to purchase and install a $99 AppleTV with a HDMI cable. This is HUGE for teachers and anyone else needing to share an iPad screen with students over a projector. "

"Often I speak to teachers who are so ready to redefine their classrooms but simply don't have the resources to go 1:1 at this time. While I point them to this page to start thinking about grants, there aren't always open funds ready to dole out $15,000+ to teachers. If you are in this situation, and have a projector, laptop, and perhaps one teacher iPad, here is a "recipe" for how you can leverage these devices on a daily basis... and still work some magic. "

"Since our last post, NYC public school teachers participating in the Arts Achieve pilot have had 3 months to start working with their new projectors, iPads, styli, microphones, and other tech stuff."

An update from a iPad pilot program. Not surprised to see findings emphasizing the utility of iPads as collaboration/sharing and creation devices.

I've been using elmo camera and/or screen shots for trainings up until now - this will be a game changer.

Doceri is an iPad app that provides an alternative to interactive whiteboards at a fraction of the cost.  Doceri lets an educator control and annotate on a computer connected to a projector from anywhere in the room.
