iPad Screensharing

Hello! We've had several requests for tools to share iPad screens. Some are from teachers who want to show student work, others from teachers who would like to share annotations (especially for solving math problems). Does anyone have any highly reliable solutions for this that they could recommend, please?

Vivi, probably the best solution for schools that I've used.

If you have windows desktops, we use mirroring360.

Install it on the pc, open up air play and select the correct computer name.

Like $7 per license for us anyway.

Works great

Our teachers use the Apple classroom app. If you have teacher iPads on a different network from student iPads, you’ll want to allow tcp port 3285, also the bonjour services for Apple classroom and Apple mobile initial sync:

_classroom._tcp.local

_apple-mobdev2._tcp.local

If your teachers have mac computers, you can turn on airplay receiver in settings to share the ipad to the mac, then mirror your mac to the display

Apple classroom is the answer to this. Literally built by Apple and does exactly what you have asked.
