- Air Display To Virtually Connect Multiple Devices
You will notice that I try very hard to stay away from products that cost money for this blog. But here is one that just might be worth it. Many people like to buy a cable to connect their laptop to a second screen. Well using Air Display,...

- Smartphone As Your Computer
Sorry to be on such a smartphone kick, but I am trying to get used to my new phone quickly. As most of you know you can edit your Google Docs items from any mobile device. My students who have tried it get a kick out of working on their phone...
- Relocating Your Lost Smartphone
Okay so two weeks ago my cell phone died and I went from a simple device that could only call someone (yes this is surprising for many who know me) to one who can now text (to my wife's relief) and get on the cloud from my phone. Bucking most...
- Print On The Cloud From Google Chrome

Printing from I Pad and Android
Printing from your phone or I Pad is not easy, and often not possible. You need Google Cloud Print or Airprint. Not any more! New software for Android and IOS devices allows you to print on any printer or copier to which your computer is connected.
For your I Pad or I Phone, Presto, which you can download from Colobros software allows you to print to any printer on your network. You download the software onto your computer and then your devices automatically find printers on your computer. You don't have to install anything on your device, only your computer. My I Pad found my home printer and all the printers and copiers at school. I tested it with a webpage on my I Pad. Printing worked like a charm.
For an Android device, you need ThinPirnt. You have to register and create an account and then ask the program to connect your printer. You also need to install the app on your device. I tested it with my Samsung phone. I went to a picture on my gallery and clicked share and "Print with ThinPirnt." It also worked like a charm.
Here is a full review of Presto and ThinPrintfrom All Things Digital.
