My goal for the series is to provide you with not only the bare essentials surrounding the topic but to provide a deeper scope of all the things from A to Z needed to get you in front of your audience with the iPad. Regardless, if your presentation takes place in a Classroom, a Conference room or an Assembly Hall.
The simplest way to present with the iPad is to connect your tablet directly to a projector or TV monitor. I recommend going with HDMI if you had to choose. With one single HDMI cable, audio and video can pass through together to your projecting device.
With the introduction of iOS 4. The first requirement is not difficult to overcome since there are alternative ways to bypass not having access to Wi-Fi in a classroom or conference room. But the second is important to note since AirPlay is only available for the iPad models 2 and up and requires iOS 5 or later. Before explaining how to create a wireless network let me point out that if your presentation requires internet access — this will not work.
To create a wireless network, I like to use and recommend to other Apple gadgets. Before your presentation preferably the night before define a Wireless Network using your iPad or iPhone and the Airport Utility app. Then connect the two units the airport express and the Apple TV via an Ethernet cable. You can define the connection between the two via wireless, but in this case, I prefer relying on the older method of connecting things via an actual cable than to do it wirelessly. By the way, if you think that this extra step and precaution might be a waste of time and money, ask yourself do I want to take a chance walking into the unknown?
Also, one huge benefit when creating a personal wireless network besides not having to think about losing connection due to uncertain technology is that you could set the network to be private password protect or public. Remember your goal during a presentation is to think about your audience and delivering value to them, and not about equipment failure or getting hacked. Sign up to get the free Newsletter.

Connect with him on the Facebook Page. Thank you for your blog. The instructions sound really simple; but as a novice techie who is used to only doing power point presentations the old fashioned way by computer with MS power point and an LCD projector, I am overwhelmed by them and feel lost. I know, like all disciplines, technology has its own language and terminology.
Unless you understand the terms used, it is almost impossible to understand the instructions. I am a retired teacher classroom and inspirational instructor from the old school who loves to use visual representation of the material I am covering.
I would like to also be able to use videos from the Internet, but have not mastered that skill either. Perhaps you can help me — maybe about doing presentations from iPad wireless for dummies,?!?!?
Thanks for any help…. Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and the suggestion. Stay tune.

Do I need to turn something on within the iPad? Hi Michael: I am trying to get some Keynote for iPad questions answered. I have been into Mac stores asking questions with no real questions being answered properly as people have not really used Keynote.
I have a 16 Gb iPad 1st generation 5. I understand this will not work with the keynote app. I also have an iMac computer I think I will purchase a iPad air. I would like to use the iPad to a projector on the ceiling onto a large screen. In the future I may have to move a number of projects back into the iPad to get portions to add to my new project.
Can this be done? Is 16gb big enough to add projects into it with pictures in each or should I be thinking in getting the 32gb iPad? Can PowerPoint projects be moved into iPad Keynote?
I was recently at the big box electronics store the blue one looking for this same information and the applicable cables to attach my iPad Air to a projector; 2 blue shirts later I still got the wrong set up. Your blog should be required reading for anyone who retails apple products!! Glad you found the blog and the information helpful.
Thx, Michael. I have iPad 2 and a monitor without audio output. I connect the two with HDMI cable. Do you have a suggestion on what I could use to override the audio signal and force it to use an external source?
