Imagine this with me.... You are in the middle of an amazing lesson and you decide to turn on your Apple TV to Airplay the most awesome student work you've ever laid your eyes on. You turn the projector on and it happens. A bunch of movie titles appear before you can get your iPad connected. From the back of the room you hear a student say "Are we watching a movie today?" or another student says "Suicide Squad! I love that movie." And then the discussion starts about which movie was best and who has seen what. Now, you spend the next few moments reigning them back in to the lesson. If you have an Apple TV in your room, this or something similar has probably happened to you at one point or another. There is a way to prevent this derailment from your amazing lesson plans. Let me introduce you to the Conference Room setting. The Conference Room Setting allows you to set a static picture to be displayed when you turn your Apple TV on. Yay! No more distracting and/or inappropriate movies to disrupt your class. When you turn on the Conference Room Setting, you select the picture you want displayed and then restart the Apple TV. When the Apple TV turns back on, you will see the picture you selected along with information about how to connect to your specific Apple TV. For specific directions on setting this up for your Apple TV, watch the video below.
