Also needed is another piece of free software for the PC that runs the Smartboard.
#Smart bridgit conferencing software app full version#
Mochasoft does make a full version that costs 5.99$ but for the needs of the student in this case, the added features are not required. There are a few remote access apps for the iPad that are free that do not require additional hardware or costly software. The software licenses cost anywhere from 200$ to thousands, and like in the Smart solution, some require a dedicated server for that purpose as well. In many cases the app is free, but to make it work you need special software for the computer that is being controlled remotely by the iPad. There are quite a few out there and many are free. Not a simple or budget solution, but this led me to the search for other remote access apps. 2700$ for the software license and the need for a server to run the software. It is actually to interact with the Smartboard remotely from the iPad but you can see what is on the Smartboard on your iPad in order to do that. It turns out they have recently come out with a product ( Bridgit conferencing software) that seems to come close. Because they were using a Smartboard I started with Smart Technologies. The first step was to see if there was an app for that. However, in this case any way of seeing what was on the board in a closer view would be an improvement. Getting a better view from up close would be a more effective strategy for someone who is Myopic (nearsightedness).
In fact the student was recently diagnosed with severe Hyperopia (farsightedness). The student has an iPad and the teacher was wondering if there was a way that the image from the Smartboard could be sent to the iPad so that the student could view it up close and if need be enlarge the image. She has a young student who has vision problems and great difficulty seeing what is on the Smartboard from anywhere in the room. I recently had a request from a resource teacher in a remote school.
