As part of my work with the VITAL CPD portal, I have today downloaded the REFLECTION APP for my Mac Book Air, which connects with my iPhone 4S via AirPlay and allows anything that is shown on the mobile device's screen to be shown on the MBA (and therefore on a projector if one is connected).It also allows a recording to be made of the app as it is being used, which means that there is a chance to show other people how an app might be useful for education purposes, as well as demonstrate an app with students in the classroom, or teaching colleagues at a CPD event or departmental meeting...
You can also hear the sound that comes through any app, which means that you can listen to your music through speakers connected to a Mac (or PC) and record the sound of an app....
Once the app is installed, a double press on the Home button brings up the AirPlay button pictured at the bottom, which can be used to turn AirPlay on and off, triggering the app screen. The screen can also be positioned on the screen of the MBA in various ways.
The app costs $14.99
Some screencasts made with the App will be appearing shortly over on my VITAL Geography portal.
Remember that you sign up to this portal for just £10....
