Installing and Licensing AirServer on Your PC/MAC

In your email, you will have been sent a Licensing Key for AirServer. This software allows you to display what is on your iPad, on your computer. This means that you can walk around the classroom with your iPad and display its contents on the projector when your computer is connected in the normal fashion, You DO NOT need to download an App on the iPad for this to work.

I you have a PC…

  1. You will need to install Bonjour from Apple http://support.apple.com/kb/DL999
  2. Download Directx 9 from Microsoft and install http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109
  3. Download AirServer and install http://www.airserver.com/en/Download
  4. If prompted, change the windows firewall settings to enable a “Work” environment for the AirServer software.
  5. Paste the key (as provided in your email) in the AirServer Software
  6. Vai your AirServer Settings, add a password so you have exclusive control over which IOS device interacts with your computer.
  7. On your iPad, double click the home button, and swipe the bottom row of icons to the right to reveal the option of sending the iPad image to the computer (and hence the projector)

If you have a MAC…

Log in to the windows image on your machine and follow the same procedure.

Picking Up Your iTunes Voucher - Year 12 Teachers

Available for collection is a $50 iTunes voucher for use with your school iPad.

This money is primarily for the exploration of Apps which are relevant for your Subject Area. More generic Apps that are for all subjects (such as Word Processors, Spread Sheets, Adobe Readers, Drawing Tools, etc.) can be purchased centrally and pushed out to staff and students via our management software, and so do not need to be purchased with these funds.

Once a purchase is made, you will need to forward a copy of the receipt you receive from iTunes to [email protected].

When we receive a copy of the receipt, we will add the details to a Google SpreadSheet which will contain the details of all purchases made. In this way, you will be able to see who has bought particular Apps and get some feedback from them regarding its appropriateness for your situation before buying it yourself.

Please drop by the IT Support Office to pick up your $50 which can be added to your private iTunes account. And don’t forget to forward the receipt sent from iTunes to [email protected].

Essential mirroring software for your PC/MAC

There are a couple of options available, but the simplest, cheapest and most effective appears to be AirServer. It is available from http://www.airserverapp.com/ and can be downloaded for free for 7 days.

We will be using this software approach rather than dealing with the expense of installing AppleTVs in every location where there is a projector. We will be purchasing this software for you in somehow, and will let you know how this will take palace shortly.
