Question: What does a culinary arts teacher and a technology teacher have in common? This sounds like a setup for a good joke. If you think of a funny answer please leave a comment. The only reason that I am asking is that in my school district we both have a Chromecast and we are having a hard time using it in our classrooms. Chromecast's don't like proxies.
To make a long story short, I brought in a wireless usb dongle and hooked it up to my computer in my classroom. I was able to use the wireless to connect to the Chromecast and the wired internet from the computer to look up web pages in Chrome. It did a great job of sharing the screen. I can't make it work with my iPhone 6 Plus. I can connect to it, but I can't play videos or do anything else that I would like to with it.
I am going to continue to work on this as I see the Chromecast as a potential big player in classrooms. I can broadcast a tab in Chrome to it without having to connect my computer to the projector. I would love to work from the back of my classroom while teaching
