Use the Apple TVs tab of Network Profiles to configure each Apple TV device whose credentials you would like to send to the iPads using the Network Profile. This allows the iPads to connect to an Apple TV device using AirPlay without the need to know or enter the password of the Apple TV.
This also allows the teacher to use the AirPlay function in Teacher Tools to choose a student device and send a command to the device to start broadcasting to a selected Apple TV to display the student iPad to the class.
When adding an Apple TV, you will need to enter the Device ID. The ID is found from the device itself and is in the form xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
TIP
Want to use your computer and projector to display a student iPad without an Apple TV? Look for third-party apps that allow iPad mirroring to computers such as Mirroring 360 from Splashtop and Reflector from Squirrels. Some apps even allow multiple iPads to be on your screen (and projector) at the same time. These apps make your computer appear to be an Apple TV so that the iPads can AirPlay to your computer. Then your computer can display the iPad to the class through the projector. When using one of these apps, you'll use the address of the network card in your computer as the Device ID configured in Securly MDM instead of the ID of a real Apple TV device. On Windows, this can be found from the command prompt with IPCONFIG /ALL.
