I am looking to project everything I do on my iPad so my students can see it. I do not have internet in the room I am working, but someone told me that wouldn't be an issue. Is it possible to project it without internet?
Apple TV
You should be able to mirror the iPad screen to AppleTV but only when iOS 5 and appropriate AppleTV2 software update are released.
As this relies on wi-fi technology you will have to have at least a wi-fi LAN - internet will probably be needed to initially enable HomeSharing on both devices (you could do this elsewhere), then so long as you don't need to display protected material it should just work over a wi-fi LAN but you will need something (eg mi-fi device) to set that up.

You don't need an Apple TV or Internet, the iPad 2 will mirror it's display to a TV or other display with either the Apple VGA adapter or the Apple digital AV (HDMI) adapter.
I have the same question. I'm also a teacher. Once iOS 5 is out and if I have Apple TV, can I mirror exactly what is on my iPad to project onto my interactive whiteboard without the use of an internet connection? I want a wireless solution so I can walk about the classroom with the iPad but my class has no internet connection, at least not one that I'm ever allowed access to with a non-school device.
I assume I need the following:
iPad2 + iOS 5
Apple TV + iOS 5
HDMI to VGA adapter from Apple TV to PC which is then connected to data projector
Possibly some king of switch to switch between monitor/PC display to projector and Apple TV display to projector
To mirror using with Apple TV you will still need a wifi-LAN as explained above.
Can I project my iPad 2 screen through Apple TV without internet?
