An
Android classroom, based on my humble opinion, means incorporating Android
devices and apps in teaching. But why not iPad classroom?
Well,
you can easily find so many relevant online resources, and they're basically
the same thing, which is how to wirelessly mirror your content on the big
screen in the classroom and devise handouts or worksheets with apps. Now, with
the help of Miracast, building an Android classroom can be as easy as pie even
for people who are not computer savvy at all.
So, what is Miracast? Simply
put, it is a protocol that mirrors EVERYTHING on your Android wirelessly onto
a projector or a TV screen. Then, you need to know if your Android is Miracast compatible,
and the answer is usually yes if you purchase it after July, 2013.
Second,
you need an Android dongle and a VGA to HDMI adaptor to connect to your
classroom's projector. An Android dongle, like ScreenBeam Pro, is a Miracast
receiver paired with your Android. As for the adaptor, it is used to connect the dongle to your classroom's VGA projector. That's pretty much everything you need to
know about mirroring your Android.
When it comes to
developing and organizing content for teaching, I use Evernote for my Butterfly
S. It's a free app both for Android and iOS, containing many cool features for
teachers to use like its famous counterpart, Explain Everthing. It allows you
to create notes, embed images and pdf files, capture any website screens,
annotate anything, to name just a few. When you create an account, you can access
your storage anywhere as long as Internet connection is available.
