Easy to Use Classroom Management Software
We offer perpetual licencing with optional maintenance!
Instruct and Engage
Actively engage students and boost their learning outcomes
Screen sharing: Share your screen to all or selected students to help demonstrate a point or model a particular task.
Annotation tools: Annotate your – or a student’s – screen with arrows, shapes, highlights and text to emphasise key points.
Virtual whiteboard: A full screen interactive whiteboard is supported by a wealth of drawing and annotation tools. You can show it to the students in real time and, when needed, they can all interact with it.
Quick launch: Remotely launch or close applications or web pages on all selected PCs in a single action.
Hand out and collect work: Transfer files and folders/subfolders to one or multiple students. You can also collect files from students and enable them to choose which file to upload to you.
Chat: Open a chat discussion that all or selected students can join, enter their comments and share with the rest of the class – now with emoticons, making it great for student collaboration and supporting students with their work.
“… Impero didn’t really give our staff members the tools and the ease of managing the classroom. So I looked at NetSupport in comparison to other solutions, and I spoke to my mates about it and found they had bought into NetSupport. From my research I found NetSupport was the right choice for my environment in my school. It’s got a nice GUI (graphical user interface), it’s easy to find all the functions and when I tested it out and trialled it with my staff members, it kicked off really well.”
– Norlington School
Monitor
Easily monitor students’ activity, helping to keep them safe and on task.
Monitor students’ screens: Easily monitor student screens (even dual monitors!), the applications they are using, the websites they are visiting, what they are typing and who they are collaborating with – all via adjustable thumbnails.
Application and website controls: Monitor all students’ activity in real time – and view foreground and background applications and websites. Set only approved applications or websites to be used or simply prevent restricted ones from being opened.
Keyboard monitoring: You can track student keyboard usage across approved applications, to assess activity levels and topic understanding. Create lists of target and inappropriate words which, when typed, are highlighted in green or red respectively.
“We have used NetSupport School for a number of years and have found it to be an effective and evolving provision which enables teachers to deliver content to students in the knowledge that they are on topic.”
– Thomas Deacon Academy
Manage
Manage students and their devices to maximise your teaching time.
Blank/lock screens: Blank or lock all or selected students’ screens to gain attention and also lock their mice and keyboards.
Password reset: For students who are locked out or can’t remember their password, you can simply reset their system passwords without IT support!
Remote control: You can help a student by remote controlling their screen to instruct them or remedy their activity.
Power on devices: Power on or off (even student PCs that are not logged on) and log in/log out all classroom computers directly from your PC.
Extras: Manage printer usage and control the usage of USB devices and CD/DVD drives.
“The features allow the teacher to manage the class effectively across a range of situations. We find it more intuitive to use than rival products, while at the same time being feature-rich.”
– York High School
Assess and check progress
Reinforce key learning points and instantly gauge students’ lesson comprehension – all while keeping them fully engaged.
Student testing: Design customised tests including text, picture, audio and video questions. Once the specified students have completed the test in the designated time, the results are automatically collated, marked and made available for you to view.
Student survey: Get instant feedback from students during or at the end of a session to instantly capture their understanding of a topic.
Student Journal: This journal ensures all relevant information from a lesson is recorded for future review – from lesson content and teacher/student notes to assessment results and rewards.
