Air Projector

I was just introduced to the coolest iPhone app ever!! It's called Air Projector. It is a free download (there is a paid upgraded version too) for your iPhone or iTouch that allows to take a picture of something and send it to the classroom projector over the Wi-Fi!!!

I know. I know. I know what your thinking.

When will I ever use this in my classroom?!?!?

This semester, we have just put two document cameras into circulation. These cameras are a great way to show student work during class.

You! Over there! Show us how you solved this problem--simply slide the paper under the document camera and Voila! the whole class can see the solution.

But what if you don't have a document camera in your room?

With this new app, simply take a photo of the students work, go to a pre-determined website (this site is displayed in the app) at the computer that runs the LCD and it automatically will project the photo on the screen.

How cool is that?

Okay. I'm a tech nerd.

Here's how to use Air Projector:

1. Go to the app store and download the free version of Air Projector.
2. Take a picture of something i.e. student work; lab set up etc.
3. On the computer, go to the pre-determined site..this is listed on the bottom of the screen in the app. (http://10.115.141.189:8081
4. Voila! The picture should appear on the screen
