Mirroring your iPad to your MacBook

During our iPad training, you were able to see me demoing the mirroring of the iPad to my MacBook. Many of you asked how you could do the same thing. I have been installing the program on your machines to do this, but I thought this little step by step tutorial might come in handy for you as a reference piece. You can download it here, but I am posting it below in case you really just need a quick refresher.

If you did not email me about adding this to your classroom, please do. We will get you up and running ASAP.
