At CTS, we are investigating an effective method for mirroring iPads onto IWBs.

Displaying students’ creative processes on the iPad is essential for collaboration of learning, and opportunities for the students to become the teachers.

The following link reflects many educators thoughts on Apple TV and Reflector.

Below is Josh’s final thoughts after he stated the pros and cons on both forms of mirroring.

The cost is reduced significantly using the Reflector App ($12.99 vs $99.00) with lots of extra options, including recording AirPlay, multiple device support at one time, no switch video or sound, and various methods showing AirPlay. Reflector App would required a laptop or desktop to be used but most classrooms already have this available. Either way you need a WiFi network for the iDevices to connect via AirPlay.
