Take
Control Of Classroom Technology
Computers
in schools have the power to enhance the classroom experience for both
students and teachers. But the benefits can easily be lost to
distractive elements such as games, instant messaging, and web surfing.
Designed
with the needs of teachers in mind, Faronics Insight is the ultimate
classroom management system that empowers teachers with full control
over classroom technology and student progress. Faronics Insight
enables teachers to harness the educational and productive aspects of
computers, whilst minimising distractive behavior and temptations.
Teachers
love the fact that they can share their screen with students, provide
remote assistance to students from a central console, and monitor
classroom screens to ensure students are on task. Students appreciate
the ability to request and receive help directly in their workstation
session, and have their voice heard through classroom voting. With the
ability to disable applications, Internet access, and blank student
screens, teachers can quickly gain student attention when required.
Best
suited for classroom environments, Faronics Insight is changing the way
technology is viewed in the classroom for both students and teachers
alike.
