Yes you can connect to them wirelessly and there are number of ways you can do it. Number 4 is the best option for most schools.
1.
You can purchase a wireless module at about $110 each – they
plug into the projector and then with free software from Epson you can connect
to them via your wireless network.
a.
Please note you will need an app for your ipads and will only be able to
show videos, web pages, text and photos – not currently running apps like angry
birds.
2.
You can connect a network cable to them and then your projector become
part of your network – and you connect to them via software from your computer
or the app from your ipad
a.
The same restrictions apply to your ipad content.
3.
You can purchase an apple TV (@$110) and connect it to your projector
via the HDMI – you then need to add the Apple TV to you school network. Once it
is on the same network as you ipads you will be able to airplay directly to the
projector.
a.
No restrictions, what is on your ipad will be shown on screen
b. If you
have an apple computer you should also be able to airplay wirelessly
c.
If you are using windows machines you will need software like airparrot
to stream you laptop to the projector. @$15 per computer. http://www.airsquirrels.com/airparrot/
4.
This is my favorite option as it is the cheapest and easiest to achieve
- You can get a piece of software call airserver @$15 that turns the computer
connected to the projector into an Airplay server (like an Apple TV).
a.
This means
That you can use the computer as your main teaching computer - an interact with it.
ii.
You can also use ipads when needed with no cables
iii.
It can also Miracast – something that newer laptops and non apple
tablets have built in. (use airparrot otherwise)
iv.
It can be done almost immediately and doesn’t require any cabling or
hardware.
AIRSERVER can be purchased and downloaded from here

Please note in all options – the touch/pen based
interactivity on the board only works with the computer attached to the usb
cable – you can’t control your ipad from the board.

Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. I’ll give you a link on your web blog. I recently came to know about http://machinesuae.com/, their Buy Multi Purpose And Latest Projectors are very effective.
