Step 1 of 13

First off I must tell you this is not FREE. While I am all about free- this $15 App is well worth the money since it works the same as a $99 Apple TV. (This is available for PC or Mac)!

Step 2 of 13

On your computer go to www.reflectionapp.com

Step 3 of 13

You can "try before you buy" with the free trial. I started with the free trial and bought it the next day!!

Step 4 of 13

Once it is installed- you will find it in you Application folder.

Step 5 of 13

When you open the app- nothing pops up. You just see that it is a running application in the top left corner of your screen.

Step 6 of 13

Watch how I make it work!!!

Step 7 of 13

For a more professional presentation, view in full screen. Want to record what you're doing?? Reflection does that too!!

Step 8 of 13

This is the view in Full Screen mode. You can even make your black iPad white or vice versa!

Step 9 of 13

To get out of Full Screen mode- simply press the Escape key.

Step 10 of 13

Then to disconnect your device choose Close Connection.

Step 11 of 13

You can connect more than one device at the same time!! But only iPad 2 and up or iPhone 4S.

Step 12 of 13

I was reflecting my iPad and my iPhone as I was taking a picture for this Snapguide!

Step 13 of 13

reflectionapp.com - $14.99 - to project your iPad 2 or iPhone 4S - it's GOOD!! Hope this was helpful! See ya!!

You're Done!

Wireless is definitely the preferred method. As a teacher, I can see how that would be more beneficial. I work in a different environment where VGA connection is the norm for formal presentations. I hope to get an Apple TV some day. I use the Reflection App quite often.
