Another 10 Great Apps for Teachers

Any list of "Best Apps for Teachers" quickly gets superseded in the new releases of apps. More and more apps each week are being released to assist teachers. Some of these are simple apps that perform single tasks exceptional well while others transform the way that we present in a classroom. Here are another 10 that might help to make the classroom a place of contemporary learning.

This first application is not actually an iPad app but rather a computer app. It wirelessly allows mirroring of your iPad including via a projector or TV. This one of the best wireless mirroring app I have come across.

AirServer: $15.00 AU

If your computer is connected to a secondary or alternative display, such as an HDTV or projector, your iOS device can use that display.
