Helpful for unchaining you from behind your desk.
Community Review for Splashtop Whiteboard
My Take
Splashtop unchains me from standing behind my desk so that I can run presentations while standing amongst my students. The load time is sometimes slow and I'm not sure if this is a network issuer or an issue with the app. Some of the controls and gestures are not very self explanatory which makes it sometimes difficult to use. I wish you could change the settings to turn off certain gesture functions. For example, a 2-finger tap will turn on trackpad mode (which seems like an utterly useless feature) and it's difficult to switch back once it's activated. Despite these annoyances, I depend on Splashtop daily in my classroom.
How I Use It
I use Splashtop to control my computer from my iPad while I move about the classroom. I am able to play presentations and videos from my computer while I am circulating around the classroom, thus preserving my proximity to students. In addition, I can use the on-screen annotation tools to highlight items on my computer screen.
