Chromebook to Apple TV?

I'm a teacher who is part of an iPad pilot in school, so I just received an iPad to use in the classroom, along with an Apple TV hooked up to my projector. Because I have a Macbook and an Apple TV at home, I'm comfortable with using Airplay, etc.

However, I just also received (different grant), access to 25 Samsung Chromebooks for my students to use. I'd love to be able to connect to the Apple TV to project the screen of the Chromebook as well. Is there any way this can be done?

Thanks,

Stacey

You can not install that on a Chromebook. They are Linux based, and I am not sure if you can install apps on them at all. They are basicly just for web browsing.

You can not use AirPlay, nor can you install iTUnes on them. So i doubt you would be able to use them with ATV.

Hello,

You can now get AirParrot for Chromebooks (You can find it in their Webstore too), and it will send to Apple TV or their other software Reflector. I plan to do this (Run AirParrot on Chromebook, streamed to my MacBook running Reflector) to make help videos for my school district. We have had a huge increase in iPads and Chromebooks in the district. (And I welcome Chromebooks as an alternative to cheap PCs. If you can't do the price of MacBook Airs, it's better than $300 Dells).
