Why do students remember everything that’s on television but forget what is in a classroom lecture? According to the research found in How People Learn, visual media make concepts easier to access and recall. New technology is now available to enable schools to leverage copy-protected content such as movies, documentaries, television shows, and music into lessons to enable both interactive learnings as well as sharing of student-created content.
This article will look at the following uses of media – and how the latest wireless screen mirroring systems can enable virtually any type of media to be leverage for learning.
With hybrid and flipped classrooms, sharing certain types of media can be a challenge. Many classrooms have wireless screen mirroring systems that don’t support the HDCP copy protection standard – forcing the teacher to either abandon the use of commercial media or string up long cables to the display. Here are some wireless screen mirroring options for the most popular types of commercial and student-generated media.
Documentaries such as BBC’s Blue Planet are some of the most engaging types of content that teachers can use in a classroom. The quality of production and engaging images are draw students into the topic. However, in a flipped classroom, the media player may not be able to use the classroom wireless screen mirroring system if it doesn’t support HDCP. This can impact not only DVD and Blu-Ray content – it also can limit the use of streamed live and recorded television signals from cable boxes and satellite receivers.

For services such as Apple iTunes and other content aggregators, a teacher or student can download a copy-protected movie and play it from their computer on a display. While virtually every classroom projector and interactive display can provide the HDCP authentication to enable media to be streamed to the display, many wireless screen mirroring systems either cannot pass through the HDCP authentication from the computer to the display or simply don’t document this function – resulting in the content not being able to be wirelessly shared.
