Apple TV directions

I have set up an Apple TV in your room; if you do not want to use it simply unhook the VGA cable and plug the VGA cable back into the white dongle.  The Apple TV will allow you to connect your laptop so you can move about freely or more importantly have students project up to the screen.  If you want to do have me show you we can set up a time and we can go over how.  If you want to go on by yourself I have written the basics down for you so you can get started.


1. To use it simply plug the VGA or the HDMI cable into the black box converter and then into the back of the Apple TV
2. Make sure the Apple TV is plugged into a power source and that the Apple TV has a light ( should already be)
3. Turn on projector
4. On your laptop, in the upper right hand corner select the airplay icon (to the left of your wireless icon) and the appropriate Apple TV ( ie. Apple TV US 005) the number is your room number
5. Once connected it will ask for the password which is your room number with a 0 at the end (ie 0050)
6. It should now mirror your screen
7. Students can do the same using the directions above
