I had a guest speaker today come in and show Raz-kids.com, a website that helps with literacy. I hooked up my laptop to the smartboard and then demonstrated how to hook up my iPhone as a remote for the laptop. We heard the story, could read the story and had a short content quiz at the end. The guest speaker was a little shy, so didn't want to use the remote or the smartboard, but it was all good int he end....
I used Rowmote, which has to be downloaded onto the laptop, as well as an app for the iPod touch/iPhone/iPad for everything to work. As long as they are on the same wireless network, all should be good.
Just as an add on, as I was getting this post ready, I noticed that the app Splashtop Remote is free today.... it does the same thing, and is free...
...and just after I finished this post, I got this link in my head... using Pages (a piece of software for the Mac to ePublish my own book to iBook; something to save trees and further blur the line for cell phone use in the class)
