Going Google (Part 2): Chromecast

I never thought of that one: simply plugin the Chromecast dongle into your classroom TV and you can show YouTube videos and mirror the screen of your laptop or other portable device. No, this is isn't perfect, but I can't imagine a cheaper solution to connect your classroom TV to the Internet. Does anyone here have TV in their classroom so we can try this? Here are some ideas of what we could do:

• Streaming Video Magic with Chromecast (Profhacker)
• Teachers: Use ChromeCast for Wireless Presentations on Desktop and Mobile (Ted Curran)
• Review: Chromecast – Will it Work in Your Classroom?
• Possibilities for Chromecast in the Classroom
• How Chromecast can be used in the classroom and how to test it without the actual device
