Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
AirPlay Mirroring is compatible with Early 2011 and newer MacBooks Pro, so you can use AirPlay Mirroring. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
In order to mirror your MacBook to your Apple TV, you have two options:
1. Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. Open the App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. Make a backup of your files before upgrading. After upgrading, you will see the AirPlay icon on the menu bar.
2. Continue with Lion and use a third-party application as AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
