iPad and Smartboard use in Education

A question for developers - can I link my iPad to the Smartboard in my classroom ?
If not could an app be designed to do this ?
( The Smartboard links to the class computer at the moment and has a touch sensitive screen).
The possibilities for displaying and using interactive lessons using an ipad seem quite exciting, and also opens up a lot of opportunities for lesson apps to be made for the ipad !!
If an app for this already exists could someone tell me it's name .
Many thanks.

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

HI there Mark. Could you explain how it is done with a Samsung galaxy tab? What connector types etc are required and where can they be bought from?

THanks

Smart has not yet released an app for either iPad or Android so at this point there is no need to look at connectors,etc.. At any rate, this is an iPad forum, not an Android tablet forum.

There is also reflectorapp.com that will do mirroring via Airplay. It will also work with Windows XP. Airserver is very nice too. Just unfortunately it doesn't work with Windows XP.
