Chromecasts & Cast Moderator Future

[MTDT]

Hi all,

 

I was hoping I could start a discussion about what people are doing now that Chromecasts have been discontinued.

We were able to get a decent number before this was announced, however some of my schools have not been so fortunate.

 

The schools without remain on fairly old IWBs that don't have built in casting options, so I am at a bit of a loss on where to take them.

We cannot replace the IWBs so freely due to cost and I wonder what options that leaves us with if we have no access to Chromecasts.

We have recently invested in new Chromebooks for teachers and it would be fantastic to marry this with a casting option that works like cast moderator.

 

What do you guys do at your schools?

Hi, we had the same problem when microsoft discontinued their adapters and we've got some chromebooks too, we went with Vivi. It's a subscription but it has been worth it, and does some cool extra stuff.
We've got a mix of projectors and older boards so it's nice its consistent for the staff too

I haven't heard of Vivi, I will take a look into that now. Thank you
