However, if you want to control your computer you must pay $30 for a software download onto your computer. The app is free for the ipad and can be used with apple TV. Once again, Splashtop does not allow this. With class websites, blogs, and flipped classrooms gaining more ground in schools Doceri makes posting a lecture, notes, or presentation simpler then ever (Video 3). In the playback mode the user can speed up or down the presentation and add stopping points to the presentation. With timeline the user can playback their presentation, edit, add audio, and add new slides. Doceri refers to this as “Timeline” (Video 2). Each stroke of your finger or stylus is recorded separately. Doceri also acts as a screen cast program and as an interactive whiteboard. Splashtop does not do that either.ĭoceri does more than just control your computer. Another example of its robust platform is when you are holding the iPad in portrait mode and hold your finger down on the top screen an arrow will appear drawing your student’s attention to a colorful hand or arrow(Video 1). For example, while controlling my computer I can switch between screens (if your running dual displays) with one click. Which, by itself, would have sold me on it, but it does so much more.
I had connection issues and the touch was not as accurate as I had hoped for.ĭoceri does control my computer with pinpoint accuracy and a intuitive interface. I had tried apps like SplashTop (Whiteboard) and it was OK, but it didn’t wow me. I use them as a way to get out from behind my desk and in the pit with students. I was in search of an app that would allow me to control my computer from my iPad, allowing me to be mobile inside my classroom. Interactive whiteboards and slates serve many purposes. Often when looking for apps you find a handful that do basically the same thing with minor changes. Last year I was introduced to an app that changed my life, Doceri.
