Using Reflector
- Open the Reflector app on your computer. Remember, there is no Reflector app on your iPad. When it is open, you will see an image like the one above on your dock.
- Double-click the Home button on your iPad. With your index finger, swipe on the bottom of the screen from left to right until you see an image that looks like the one at the left.
- Click the image and look for the name of your computer. Tap the name of your computer and also make sure that "Mirroring" is on.
- NOTE: Your computer and your iPad must be on the same wireless network. For example, your Macbook and iPad must both be on DR-HS-STAFF or KING-STAFF for you to mirror your iPad. If you want your students to mirror their iPads, you would want to switch your computer so it was on the Student wireless network, the same one the students are on.
