Google Cast for Education

-


At the ISTE conference in July 2016, Google announced a new tool that would allow students to wireless stream or cast their chromebook screen to a teacher computer. This new tool is called Google Cast for Education. I created two videos to show you how this works. The first video is from the teacher side of the tool, and the second video shows you how the students will use the too.


Set-Up for Teachers:


Teachers need to make sure the following are done before they can start using Google Cast for Education:





Set-Up for Students:

Students need to make sure the following are done before they can start casting their screen to the teacher:
  • Chrome OS must be updated to version 52 or higher.
  • Students choose which teacher device to cast to.
  • Students choose to cast either a single tab or their entire desktop.
  • Students cast from their desks. No need to bring Chromebook to front of room, or share presentation with teacher.
