I like many aspects of this software - being able to privately message a student when you can see that they are not on the website or assignment they are supposed to be on is a favorite, but there are many features that I found beneficial.

I never learned how to update all of the remote computers from my main computer when updates were issued to the software, so that required time and effort duplicating the installs to every student computer.

Keeping students on task as well as being able to model for the students on their screens so that all could see the example clearly was a real help. Also, being able to project a particular student's screen to the others as examples of what to do or not to do without identifying the student was helpful.

Able to make mentors make blended learning easier any time.

The affordability of the gadget to be used.

The Spyware management support system.

The NetSupport where internet provider in my country does not provide a 100% agreed signal.

LanSchool has been an absolute game-changer in my classroom. During virtual education and the pandemic, they became used to gaming or otherwise tuning out during class, then Googling all the answers once it came time to complete their assignments. This behavior carried over into the classroom this semester, and I have had to resort to LanSchool to manage it. Using LanSchool, I can block specific websites and applications during class, check in on students to ensure they are on task, and blank student screens when they need to focus on the front of the classroom.

LanSchool is one of the few programs that I cannot really think of a downside to using.

The big problem that I'm solving with LanSchool is minimizing student distractions from their laptops during class.

It is nice to centrally track, restrict the exposure and sharing of programs and pages on other screens. It helps to differentiate a lesson greatly as everyone actively engages in the subject. Students will look at my screen and follow my pattern in a small window. You don't have the problem that because of lighting issues or their classroom location, a student can't look at the monitor in advance.

It could be a little difficult to schedule lessons with many different teachers. Scripting is too technical to configure. A simple Quick Launch Transmission tool should be given to allow me to claim that you have these next computers in this room rather than open outdated configuration files.

I recommend the implementation of this platform, it is innovative and intuitive. makes the interaction between the teacher and the students very dynamic.

By limiting / removing constant distractors, all students can be held in charge. It is an instrument for helping teachers in the learning of students. Lack of student screens facilitates class unity and encourages a deeper comprehension of a concept which was difficult to do in the past without seeking any other way of making the student screen appear on the wall, having the class "meet" or having the student describes the issue audibly and hopes that the students will understand.

I like that this software allows me complete control over the screens in my classroom. I don't have to worry about getting up and walking around the classroom as much to monitor screens because I have all of the tools necessary to do that from the front of the room at my desk. I also really like the fact that I am able to control screens and devices from my computer, this gives me more control over what is going on in the room. My favorite feature would be that I am able to set a list of blocked websites that students are not able to visit on their computers. I am also able to put everyone on the same website or page, or open programs with the click of a button. It is very nice software that allows me more control and to worry less about little things.

The interface is not amazing and you have to go into menus sometimes to get features. Also when it freezes or gets buggy you have to completely close and reopen the program which can take some time to do.

See if all of the features offered are right for you. Also know that unless you pay yearly you will not get upgrades to new features in the future, but you will still have access to use it as it is installed.

Being able to monitor screens in my class without constantly walking around the room.

What I like best about LanSchool Air is the digital features such as monitoring a student's computer screen, viewing them all at once, and being able to easily send private messages to each student.

I dislike that I am not able to view student history.

Being able to communicate with each student through messaging to not disrupt the class while they are completing their classwork.

I like that I can view student search history and send messages to individual students.

Students can disconnect their Chromebooks.

There is a 25-60 second lag depending on the speed of the school network.

I'm realizing how often students have another tab opened in the background. With Lanschool, I can walk around with my computer while I'm helping other students. This helps me to see what is going on no matter where I am in the room.

I love being able to see all screens at once. I am able to push out website to all students at once. Sending private messages directly to students allows me to communicate with my students without disrupting the learning of others. In setting up LanSchool Air, I love the ability to sync with Google Classroom.

I wish I had the ability to view students' history or click/exit off different tabs that my students may have open.

Try it!

LanSchool Air allows fewer classroom disruptions, heightened classroom management, and the assurance that all students are on task at one time.

My teachers love the ability of LanSchool Air to integrate with Google Classroom making class management a piece of cake! The ability to 'curtain' the chromebook and also push out websites is great for the younger grades.

Still waiting for the ability to share teacher/student screens with the class.

If you are a G Suite for education user and utilize Google Classroom, this is the easiest and most effective product for student/device management in the industry

Prior to LanSchool Air, class/student management took way too much time and resulted in students not showing up, or showing as blank screen.
