Using an iPad - Reflect It!
​(Or a Chromebook for that matter)

Reflector® is a wireless mirroring and streaming receiver that works great with Google Cast™ and AirPlay™. You can mirror your content to the big screen without wires or complicated setups. Play games, watch movies, demo applications or present from the palm of your hand. Reflector® is produced by Squirrels software.

Reflector is a wireless mirroring and streaming receiver that allows you to connect almost any combination of devices to your computer at the same time. Each device mirrors in real time, and the layout automatically adjusts when new devices connect. Compare, compete or collaborate—Reflector presents and organizes multiple devices of any type with ease.

Reflector also allows you to record your device screen. 
A number of recording options make Reflector 2 the only piece of software needed to create demo videos, walkthroughs and tutorials. Include your voice in recordings, and add frames to the final product for a finished feel.

Reflector is an application for your Mac or Windows PC. Once installed you can wirelessly mirror through the projector your iOS, Android, and even Chromebook device using your computer. While the Apple TV or Chromecast are great devices, they can be limiting in a few ways. In the case of Apple TV is is expensive, for Chromecast the devices that can be mirrored are limited. Reflector solves both of those problems. Reflector is relatively inexpensive ($14.99 or less in quantity). You can mirror nearly any device using reflector. ​

There are 2 Reflector apps available for iOS as well.

​Reflector Director is designed to let presenters step away from their Mac or PC and continue to interact with audiences. Use Reflector Director on an iPad or iPhone to emphasize certain screens, or use it to choose which screens are being shown. Reflector Director allows mirroring to become part of the environment.


Reflector Student was designed and created specifically for use in classrooms and schools. It helps students connect to Reflector 2 over restricted networks. Also, students can now get a live look at other peer devices from the comfort of their own desks and mobile devices.
