Mirror Your iPad to Your Mac with Quicktime

AppleTV is a great device to have but if you're shy $99 and have a Mac, there is another solution. Quicktime. That is if you have OS X Yosemite or newer!

When you tether, see also: plug-in, your iPad to your computer, open Quicktime --> New Movie Recording, you have the ability to begin mirroring your iPad to your Mac!

Once you click the carrot beside the record button, you should see your iPad as a camera source. Select your iPad as the camera source.

If you want to create a screencast of anything on from your iPad, simply follow the steps above, press Quicktime's record button and go to town! Your computers mic will pick up your audio, Quicktime will be capturing your every move on your iPad! Once you are finished you can save the file to your computer or begin compiling a "Playlist" in Google Drive like I suggest in this post.

Now if I only had a longer iPad cord...

Let me know what I can do to help you #Edtech on! ~ Ryan

Classroom Benefits to Screencasting

Screencasting is the effort of recording your device's screen while narrating the actions taking place on the screen, similar to a think aloud while reading a book.

Use Drive to Share Video Playlists

Google Drive is a great way to work, collaborate, and share with anyone across the table or across the world. Video is no exception to these rules! Richard Byrne recently posted that he recommends privately sharing videos through Google Drive on his FreeTech4Teachers blog . I would take what he says one step further.

This is great to be aware to because using this knowledge you can easily create a playlist within your Google Drive for students to access. Here's how: Create a folder in Drive, giving it a relevant name to the topic. Set the share setting to "Anyone with the Link can View". Add relevant videos to the folder
