This turned into a Target/HIT. Thank you to everyone who offered
suggestions.
Original question:
Have been enjoying my iPad that my husband bought for me. I'm going
nuts with the apps! <g>... Have found several apps that would be
great tools to use in my library with the kids on the Smartboard. Is
there any way to connect my iPad to the Smartboard and project the
information to the board? Thanks!
Replies:
1. I am sure there is a cord that you can connect with the computer.
I connect my ipod. I would call radio shack or apple.
2. I have a friend who has researched this extensively, and unless
they have come up with something in the last month, currently there is
not a way to do it. She even talked with the Apple people who
designed the iPad. I will be seeing her in a couple weeks and I'll
check with her again to see if there has been any progress.
Not only can you not connect to the SmartBoard, you cannot even
connect it to a digital projector.
3. It will depend on the apps. I was going to show some apps in a
workshop and bought the connection. According to Apple, it depends on
whether
the projection information is written into the app. Pages, Keynote,
Numbers, and other Apple apps will project.
4. I did not think you could connect the IPAD to anything! Please let
us all know what you find out ok? I hope I am wrong.
5. A very quick check of Mac forums say no to the connection.
6. It is possible to project the contents using the VGA adaptor for
the iPad ($29.99). A future possibility is through the USB camera
connector.
During my refresher classes with smart this week, I inquired regarding
apps for smart phones (including the iPod, iPhone and iPad). There was
unofficial prospectives for these apps, although not known. I know
there is more to come, as other interactive board manufacturers are
working on this.
I will be investigating the USB possibilities and apps for the board
use.
7. My guess since I haven't worked with an iPad yet, would be to
connect your iPad to your computer, then use the computer connected to
the Smart Board
for your display...
Well, 3 replies say NO, you cannot connect them, and 4 replies
suggested you COULD/SHOULD BE ABLE TO or CAN. Will have to
investigate this VGA adaptor. Thanks!
