Squirrels LLC Releases Reflector Teacher

NORTH CANTON, Ohio, Nov. 21, 2017 -- Squirrels LLC today launched Reflector Teacher, a new screen-mirroring application built on the Reflector technology that’s used in more than 100,000 classrooms.

Reflector Teacher allows students to share their device screens with the entire class from their own seat. Reflector Teacher is built on the Reflector Technology already used in more than 100,000 classrooms around the world.

Reflector Teacher is an education-streamlined version of the Reflector software that educators use to wirelessly display iPads, Chromebooks and other devices in the classroom.

“While Reflector is widely used in schools across the world, it wasn’t initially created with classrooms in mind,” Squirrels cofounder Andrew Gould said. “It only made sense to make a version of Reflector that’s optimized for the classroom.” 
           
Rewritten from the ground up, Reflector Teacher includes key stability and performance improvements that increase instruction time and decrease distractions by allowing students to connect faster and more reliably.

Building on previous iPad, Chromebook and Mac mirroring support, Reflector Teacher can receive Miracast connections from teachers and students using a Microsoft Surface tablet or other Windows computer.

Other classroom-focused features include the ability to quickly capture a screenshot of connected student devices, preconfigured preferences ideal for classrooms and compatibility with other Squirrels education-oriented apps: Reflector Student and Reflector Director.

Introductory pricing is available. Reflector Teacher is normally priced at $14.99, but a 20 percent discount is available for a limited time after launch. Existing users can upgrade at a better discount by opening Reflector 2 and checking for updates.

What’s new in Reflector Teacher?

Miracast
Reflector Teacher on Windows includes Miracast receiving support. Students and teachers using Microsoft Surface tablets and other computers can now easily share their screens.

Screenshots
Teachers can instantly take a full-resolution snapshot of any connected student device.

Screen Peek
Teachers can see a small preview of student device screens before showing them to the entire class.

Windows Specific Upgrades
On Windows, Reflector Teacher is located near the Start button instead of the system tray by the clock where Reflector 2 was located. Connected devices are now visible in a window that makes it easier for teachers to access.

Under-the-hood Improvements
Reflector Teacher was completely rewritten for stability, performance and speed. Connections are more stable, and connecting is faster and more reliable than ever before.

Companion Apps
Reflector Teacher is compatible with Reflector Director and Reflector Student. Reflector Director is designed to let teachers step away from their computer and continue to interact with mirrored student devices. Reflector Student helps students using iOS devices connect to Reflector Teacher and see peer devices.

Interface and Experience Updates
Reflector Teacher was redesigned for modern operating systems and classrooms. It includes interface updates that make mirroring and managing connected devices easier.
