Projecting your iPads - Things to know

By Colin Davitt
How to project your iPad
(This post is assuming your iPad has been updated to iOS 7)

On your laptop
  1. Type AirServer
  2. Click on AirServer
Note: AirServer may already be running on your laptop.  This initial step should have to be done only once.  You will set this program to automatically run in a following step.


Return to your desktop (Hint: you can hit the Windows key + D to quickly return to the desktop.)
  1. Click the small up arrow in the lower right corner of your screen.  This will reveal the hidden icons.
  2. Right click on the AirServer icon then click Settings.


  1. Check for updates... you need to be running version 1.9.1.0 or above.
  2. Make sure Start AirServer when anyone logs into Windows is checked.  This will automatically launch the software when you log into the computer.



On your iPad
  1. Use one finger to swipe up to reveal the taskbar.
  2. Click AirPlay



Find your name on the list and click on it.
Note: There tends to be 15-20+ teachers on this list.

Toggle mirroring on.




You should see your iPad appear on the laptop.  This process will allow you to project the images and sounds of your iPad through your LiNC system.

    Thanks for your help. Here is one mysterious thing.....so my airserver on my laptop says it is up to date but the version it is running is 1.1.8.0. Everything works but just thought I would let you know. Wanted to share some ways I use it. I love sharing an app with the staff-in fact we are going to use it this week. Thanks!

Who is emailing me? The Blue Man Group??? (Add an image to your Google account.)

By Colin Davitt
WHY It is always nice to put a face with a name. Sometimes we need a tiny little reminder of what someone looks like because we don't see them very often. Follow these steps to add/change the image associated with your Google account. HOW Open your email. Click your image. It might just be a blue circle if you have not added something already. Click Change . Find an image you like. Your amazing new image will appear. From now on everyone can put a name to a face!

You will be away from your classroom for a bit and probably won't be checking email on a regular basis. Wouldn't it be nice to have Gmail respond for you alerting whoever is emailing that you out enjoying your summer? Setting up your vacation responder is pretty simple, a few clicks and a save. Start by clicking the gear icon in the upper right corner of Gmail. Scroll way down the page. Look for the vacation responder section. 1. Click to turn the responder on. 2. Add your first and last days away. We would recommend adding something short and to the point for the subject line. 3. Whatever you add here will be the body of the email you are automatically sending out. It would be a good idea to tell them when you are planning on returning and who to call if they need immediate assistance. We also recommend not checking the two buttons at the bottom. 4. Save changes . That is it. Now your inbox will automatically alert people that you are not in your...
