EdTech You Should Know – Episode 3

Mirroring and Screen Sharing with Reflector, AirParrot, and Slingshot

On this week's episode we talked with Drew, the co-founder of AirSquirrels (the firm that produces the great apps we are discussing today).

Drew and I talked about the following three apps in relation to mirroring and screen sharing:

Reflector:

“Reflector is an AirPlay receiver that allows you to wirelessly display your iPad or iPhone on a number of devices. It’s available for Mac, PC and most Android devices. Mirror your device on a big screen without wires or complicated setups.”

AirParrot:

“AirParrot adds AirPlay screen mirroring to any Windows or Mac computer. Wirelessly connect a computer to a TV and stream movies, music, photos and more to an Apple TV or computer running Reflector. AirParrot is the only Windows screen mirroring solution, and it's a great Mac AirPlay alternative.”

Slingshot:

“Slingshot allows you to share iOS device screens, Mac and Windows desktops or specific applications. Share with anyone, whether they're across the world or in the same room. Simply start a session, share your device and then invite others to join in! A number of collaboration tools are included, too! Video, audio and text chat are paired with collaborative note taking, file sharing and more.”
