I am a teacher with a classroom set of iPads. I recently used the Apple Remote Desktop program in our computer lab to monitor the students and loved it. Is there an app (Mac or iPad) that I can use to monitor my students as they work on their iPads that works like Apple Remote Desktop?
Thanks,

Allot of the newer iOS devices support AirPlay with Mirroing. This lets the device stream video & audio to devices like AppleTV. There is an application called reflector that lets Multiple iOS Device stream video to a Mac Computer. Last time I used it, I could get away with streaming video from 4 devices to the computer.
The thing about airplay is the user on the iPad has to chose to stream video, instead of you choosing to look at their screen.
Lan Desk offers some teacher/student tools for ipads. http://www.lanschool.com/lanschool/features/ios-student The catch is that the student has to have the app, and open the app.
Thanks for the ideas. We do have an Apple TV in the classroom with AirPlay. I looked at Refelctor and it appears to only be available for 5 devices, which costs $55.00. I would like to be able to manage all 30 at once. Lan Desk has some cool features, but again costs $20 per student. If there is one program/app I can buy and not have to purchase per student or multiple copies, that would be best.
Thanks again.
