Enter the iPad 2 with the new iOS5 update and all of a sudden you have a low cost teaching tool that is teacher friendly and completely mobile throughout the classroom. With the new update, you can now send whatever is on your iPad screen wirelessly to your projector or large screen monitor. This is truly a game changer.

Some very easy ways to integrate that projector and tech in your class!

Very cool, good to use with group or class using projector.

Great for your projector when teaching time.

Great idea for writing prompts, could be done online or on projector with kids doing own and sharing back to teacher/ta typing/submitting to website.

"The premise is simple - five random images are shown on a screen. The idea is that the reader then becomes the writer. Taking the images shown, students then write, trying to link and weave a story through the five images."

Great with the projector!

huge resource library of things to use with your projector (made originally for IWB classrooms) From cool apps like random grouper (puts your kids in new groups for discussion/work randomly and on the screen) Word magnets (create poetry/writing as group/class using fridge magnets, have a look!

This weekend I had the great pleasure of participating in my first webinar: The 3rd Virtual Round Table Online Conference. It was an amazing experience, I had the pleasure of "running" into many friends from my PLN and loved the sessions I was able to attend. During the Unconference we all decided on some topics of interest and then each went to a virtual conference room to discuss the theme we had chosen. In the room I went to we talked about error correction - ways we do it, when we do it, etc. We shared ideas, our experiences. There were some great ideas, and I chipped in with an activity I really enjoy doing and the students have the greatest time with it. But most importantly, I believe it to be one of the most effective ways of error correction, because the correction is made by the students; they correct sentences they've written. (By the way, for those of you who were in the room, I am sorry if I stumbled or did something wrong - I was extremely nervous about speaking there!)

What a cool way to have fun with language, use the projector and have kids work in teams collaboratively. :)

For those with a projector? yep!

Create poetry with images and text prompts. Great for use with the projector to make class poetry, or to play around with language.

Everyone is so excited about tethering the iPad 2 to a projector, admittedly very cool, that we have missed something else at least as good if not even better! Go all the way: make the iPad 1 or 2 into a complete interactive whiteboard solution!

With iOS 5 you can now use AirPlay to "mirror" your entire iPad screen and display or project it. All that is required is an iPad 2, the new iOS operating system and an Apple TV (which sells for around $100) that connects to any TV, monitor or projector with an HDMI interface. You can project your iPad with a couple of simple steps ... and it works wirelessly! Here's how:
