We used the iOS app for the presentation. App: Random Name Selector - FREE We used this iOS app to draw names. We used the free version, but there is also a pro version for $2.99. Software: Reflector - $12.99 This is the software we used to wirelessly mirror our iPad during the presentation. This software is available for Mac or Windows. Web site: GoSoapBox - FREE Web-based clicker tool. We used this for our surveys. Hardware: Lightning to VGA Adapter - $49.00 We used this to connect the projector to the iPad. If you have an older iPad, you'll need the 30-pin to VGA Adapter. Tip: Save Web Site Icon to iPad Home Screen We saved the GoSoapBox web site to the home screen of the iPad so it was easy to access. It looks just like an app icon.
