Go to What is AirMedia? AirMedia is an app for your laptop, tablet, or phone that allows you to wirelessly connect your device to the projector in a classroom. Laptops will display exactly what is on your laptop’s screen, as well as play video and sound. Tablets and phones will show static images, such as a.pdf or.jpeg. Watch the video above to see it in action. How can AirMedia increase student-centered active learning and engagement? AirMedia is a simple screen-sharing app that allows you more flexibility with the technology in your classroom.
It offers students the opportunity to contribute and participate in new ways. Content students create in or outside of class can be quickly shared with their peers and give you real time feedback of their understanding. Getting Started When trying to decide which type of device you might want to use with AirMedia, there is one important distinction to be aware of. Laptops (PC & Mac) will allow dynamic display, which means it will mirror what is on your laptop, including your cursor, movement, video, and sound. For now, the app for tablets and phones allows static images such as a.pdf,.jpeg, or screenshot, which means there will be no sound or movement. For basic instructions on using AirMedia, please read below. Visit the to download and install the app onto your device.
You can choose one of the four options: Windows laptop, Mac laptop, Android tablet/phone, or IOS iPad/iPhone. Go to a classroom or study room that has AirMedia and turn it on.
For questions about using the projectors or turning on AirMedia in a particular classroom, contact the for a demonstration at 817-257-7121. Once you have AirMedia turned on in your room, launch the AirMedia app on your device. (If the laptop app gives you a message that says, “No Devices Found,” press “OK.” This is not an error message.) The AirMedia app will ask you for the IP address and code, which is found at the top of the projected screen in your classroom. Now share your content.
On a laptop, your device may automatically show on the projector screen if you are the first one to log on. If there are others already using it, press “Play” to show your screen.
Press “Stop” when you are done sharing. Press “Pause” to freeze what is shown on the screen so you can prepare content on your device before showing. Press “X” to close the app. On a tablet/phone, you will have the option to choose which type of content you would like to show: documents, photos, screenshots, or web browser. Choose what you would like to show, select it, and then press the “Play” icon that will appear on top of it. You can also press “Stop” to end showing your content.
