•   Essential to this being used in the classroom of course would be having an
Apple TV so you can connect your iPad to the projector.

Educational Apps
•   Splash Top app allows you to connect with other computers. The trick is that both computers must be on. You can view what your students are doing on their computers when they are working on them. And you can view and work on your

off when you leave school.
