Real VNC, HTML 5 and Differentiation

After Mr Jamiesons post about using AirDisplay I used that idea and gave a pupil my iPad with the presentation running on VNC to my desktop machine (I have extended desktop turned on) so one pupil had the slide they needed the rest of the class could see their task. So the iPad allows effective differentiation.

Real VNC is rather nifty in that it allows you to left click and other functions that other VNC clients do not.

HTML 5 - It's the bees knees if you listen to Steve Jobs! But it will do everything that Flash currently does and more. Flash has never been and will probably never be supported by IOS devices but with this announcement by Adobe the answer might just be around the corner!

Another point about HTML 5 is that you need to use Firefox, Safari or IE 9 (Beta). It's just so new! Here is a nice example of what it can do.
