LanSchool v7.5

Remove Distractions and Improve Learning on PCs, Macs and Thin Clients.

Teachers today are faced with the challenge and opportunity of using technology to teach. Computers are amazing educational tools, but they can also be a huge distraction to learning. The Internet, instant messaging, email and games are a constant temptation for students. 

LanSchool improves teacher effectiveness and student achievement in a lab, laptop cart or 1:1 program by returning control back to the teacher with an inexpensive, reliable software solution. 

LanSchool v7.5 removes these distractions so you can teach more effectively. No classroom management solution is simpler to install, easier to use or better suited for teaching in a computer-based classroom.

LanSchool works on any mix of PCs and Macs, and now includes a free app for iPad, iPhone, or iPod.


LanSchool helps teachers to:

·Facilitate learning by allowing the teacher to show their screen to the students

·Remove distractions such as the Internet, applications, USB drives and printing

·Keep students on task through real-time thumbnail monitoring

·Get student’s attention by blanking out their screens

·Remote control and chat with students

·Assess student understanding through student testing

LanSchool Announces Apps for the Apple iPhone, iPad, and iTouch

LanSchool now includes support for the Apple iPad, iTouch, and iPhone with a new app called the Teacher’s Assistant.The Teacher’s Assistant allows teachers to perform critical classroom management features such as thumbnail monitoring, sending messages, blanking screens, voting, limiting the web and applications.The free app can pair with either Windows or Mac teacher consoles.Once paired, it allows unfettered access to students from anywhere in the room.

In addition to Teacher’s Assistant, LanSchool has a free student app that allows teachers to assess and interact with students.The LanSchool Student app turns an iPad, iPod and iPhone into a student response system and allows either school owned or student owned handhelds to become classroom response devices.Teachers can ask students questions and the results come back in real time. Students can also ask the teacher questions without raising their hand.

Comes with 3 years of upgrades and support and will even fly in an engineer if it can't be resolved over the phone. This is easy to do since it virtually has no problems.


District licenses are available, call or email Cyndy



Thumbnail_monitoring_thumb

Thumbnail View

Thumbnail monitoring allows the teacher to quickly view each student’s screen. At a glance, it is easy to see which students are on or off task.

Administrators can monitor up to 3000 students at a time.

Console_details_thumb

Details View

The details view shows columns of information about students. By sorting on the column teachers can quickly see the computer, who's logged in, their current application, last visited websited, last question, channel number and version of the software.

Keystrokes_thumb

Keystroke Monitoring

Cyber bullying, using proxy sites and inappropriate use of the Internet are constant problems in schools. To prevent and help provide evidence, LanSchool v7.5 automatically logs all keystrokes on student machines. (This can be disabled if your organization has policies against keystroke monitoring) Weeks of keystrokes are kept in a rolling log that can be watched in real-time or exported to a .csv file.

The student login, date, time, application and keystrokes are all available from the teacher’s console.

Snapshot_thumb

Screen Snapshot

If you happen to catch a student inappropriately using their computer, click the Snapshot button and a picture of their computer, with the login name, computer name, date and time stamp is created and saved on the teacher machine.

Internet_usage_thumb

Internet History

Internet history shows a list of the websites visited by a particular user with Internet Explorer. LanSchool now prevents users from deleting their Internet history.

Running_programs_thumb

Running Programs

Students love to look busy, but play their music and games in the background. View Running Applications shows all of the applications that are active on the student machine. Even if a program is minimized you’ll be able to see it and optionally add it to the allowed or blocked applications list.

Cross Platform

LanSchool v7.5 supports any combination of computers running Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP-32, Windows Vista-32/64, Windows 2003 and 2008 Terminal Server, Citrix, NComputing X and L series, Mac OS 10.4 and higher.
