All Roads Lead to Chrome...Cast for Education

Teach and Learn From Anywhere in the Classroom

Do you ever have students hold up whiteboards to show their answer? Maybe put student work under the doc cam? Do you ask students to share a document with you so you can share it with the class? Now you can do all of these things with a Chromebook and a projector. The ability to cast with a Chromebook is now here for Jeffco. Similar to using an iPad with Air Server, Cast for Education lets you share your computer screen from one Chrome browser to another.

Teachers invite individuals or groups of students to cast by selecting individual email addresses or   by inviting classes that are set up in Google Classroom. Students have the choice of casting one tab or their entire browser. Teachers will be prompted to accept or deny the requests. Sharing ideas and thinking digitally is easier. Now teaching and learning can happen anywhere in the classroom. 

Things to Know:

It is free.

Only one screen can be casting to the teacher's device at a time. 

It DOES work with Chromebooks, desktops, and laptops.

It DOES work in a BYOD environment

It does NOT work with iPads.
