When Regis decided to do a one-to-one device progam and give every student and faculty person an iPad, a lot of the logistics fell on me. The problem with the AppleTV is that it requires HDMI, and therefore an all digital flow from device to switcher to display. That gets very expensive very quickly when you are talking dozens of enterprise level classrooms. I found AirServer as a piece of software that cost us (at the time) $2 per classroom to stick it on the computer in every classroom. Then with a tweak to our new wireless infrastructure to run mDNS across networks we had an instant airplay receive with existing equipment. One month later I asked for and got my first raise from them.
No help for Lesley though, who has bizarrely decided classrooms don't need computers. And apparently isn't providing laptops to adjuncts.
I find it's transformative to teaching when the teacher can be anywhere in the room instead of having to take center stage.
