There are a bunch of programs that you can install on your Mac to make it an AirPlay device for wireless streaming of your iPad. If you can plug the iPad into the MBA, then you can use Quicktime Player as a free option. With the two connected, open up Quicktime Player and choose File->New Movie Recording. QT will automatically enable the iSight camera on the MBA, so on the bottom near the Record button there is a dropdown, click on it and you should see the iOS Device (iPad). Select that you should now be seeing the iPad screen..

You don't need to actually record anything..
