Google Cast For Education

As we purchase more and more chromebooks, it only opens up more and more great opportunities to do amazing things in our classrooms.  It seems like everyday I learn new ideas from teachers and colleagues.  One tool I have really been excited about is Google Cast for Education.  Many of you have personal Chromecast devices which you use in your homes.  In the past, due to network security issues we have not been able to make that technology work in our classrooms.  However, the Google Cast for Education app can now make it possible for a student using a chromebook to share their work onto the large projector or digital panel so all can see.  I have been using it a little for a year now and I believe most of the "kinks" have been fixed.  In a nutshell, here is how it works:
1.  Install Google Cast For Education using this link onto the device you want to "host" For Example:  Mr. Martin Teacher Computer  (the device you want the student to share TO)
2.  Go to the share settings and add those people you want to share TO you.  (Note:  you can add an entire Google Classroom class in one click if you are using Google Classroom)
3.  Go to the settings of the device that will share and click cast:  The Host computer should show up.  For Example:  Mr. Martin Teacher Computer.
4.  You have two choices:  1.  Cast your tab only (Only the information in that tab will be shared)  2.  Cast your desktop (Everything on the device will be displayed)
Here is a short video explaining it as well.  Give it a try and let me know what you think...
