- Download this app for your iPad or even your iPhone (!)
- Download SplashTop Streamer on the desktop you want to control
The streamer works on PC as well as Mac, which is good news for the ever-growing population of loyal Apple fans, and the app will cost you $1.99 for your iPhone or $4.99 for the iPad. The Streamer service is free. Once installed and after a brief, easy set-up period, you'll be able to control your desktop or laptop from the comfort of your iDevice as if it was touchscreen-operated.
How does it work in the classroom?
If you're running a classroom management software, for instance, SMART Sync, then you can use SplashTop on the same machine running SMART Sync and use those features on your iDevice while you aren't near your desktop. In other words, you can have the ability to constantly circumnavigate your classroom and never have to take your eyes off a single student's computer screen.
Even if you're in the school building but there is a substitute in your classroom for various reasons, you can use SplashTop to monitor what students are doing in your class even while you're away as long as you can access the network. You can even install the SplashTop Streamer on all student computers and access those machine whenever you need to access them.
