E d Te c h S h o w D a i l y 3 1 Th u r s d a y, Fe b ru a r y 6 , 2 0 1 4 ENCOURAGE GREATER STUDENT INTERACTION AND ENGAGEMENT WITH CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE NetSupport School provides instructors with the power to centrally instruct and interact with all student desktops and devices, delivering engaging real-time instruction. NetSupport School v11 helps facili- tate teachers to continually and instantly evaluate student progress. With the pres- ent model of BYOD gaining force in many schools, features such as managing roaming devices, monitoring and interac- tion and managing web activity are must- have ingredients when choosing a class- room management software. Built around current teaching prac- tices for continual assessment of learn- ing, NetSupport includes components such as instant student surveys and the customizable test designer, joined by a unique question and answer module. This module allows teachers to verbally ask questions of the whole class, gauge stu- dent answers and understanding, intro- duce new questioning styles to the lesson and develop peer assessment opportuni- ties, as well as track rewards against both the individual and, where appropriate, teams. NetSupport School also delivers a number of key features to further expand its relevance for today's classroom, including the digital journal feature that allows an instructor to electronically record key content that has been covered during a lesson, real time audio monitor- ing that permits the teacher to monitor all audio activity on students' computers, plus a range of cost-saving features including print management, which gives instructional staff an overview all of stu- dent print activity, and USB control to reduce the risk of virus introduction and increased system downtime. The technician's console, designed to allow district support staff the ability to discretely connect to any device and provide remote support, has been signifi- cantly expanded to provide a range of additional systems management tools, and the hand out and collect work feature along with file distribution now offers 10 times the performance of other solutions in the market while requiring lower net- work usage. Adding all new support for student iOS devices to its existing support for Android, Chrome and Kindle platforms, NetSupport School is truly the leading classroom management solution for emerging BYOD environments.
