Technology is all around us. We see it everywhere we look...grocery stores, department stores, gas stations, doctor offices, and of course in our schools. With technology becoming more and more prevalent and necessary in the classrooms, managing the content our students view and the time they use computer can be just as important.
LanSchool classroom management software removes the distractions of instant messaging, e-mail, games, etc from students learning so teachers can teach more effectively. The following features are available from the LanSchool software:
Reduce Student Distractions
Teachers can reduce student distractions by Blanking Screens, Limiting Applications and Limiting Web Browsing on student computers. This helps direct student attention from their computer to the teacher and keeps students on task.
Monitor Students
Ideal for monitoring student activity within a classroom setting, the Thumbnail feature allows you to view all screens as well as see the current application and website that the students are running. Teachers can send messages to all or individual students.
Assess Student Understanding
Students can be quickly polled during a lecture with true/false or multiple choice questions.
Help Individual Students
Students can silently Request Help from the teacher. A small question mark appears on the thumbnail with the student question, which indicates they need help.
LanSchool would be a valuable asset to any classroom where computers are being used to help keep students on task and focused and provide them assistance when needed without them feeling embarrassed about asking. Students will feel more confident in asking for help and teachers will have the ability to assess student's understanding of the material.
