What do you like best?

I have tried many classroom management softwares in the past. This is by far the easiest and best to use. It allows me control my class at ease and gives me the reassurance that everything is above board within my classroom. The tools I like the best is the broadcast tool, my classroom can often be bright, being able to broadcast my screen means all students see what I am doing right in front of thier faces. I also like the fact you can lock their screens so that when I am speaking I know everyone is focusing on me instead of doing something else on the computers. Another tool I really like is the open website tool. This means I can open any website on the students computers without having to tell them the address and waiting for them all to open the site. Similiarly, I am able to share files with them which will open on their computers without them having to find them within a folder stucture.

What do you dislike?

Sometimes when broadcasting it can lag - especially when doing this with 30 computers. If it crashes during broadcasting it is very difficult to cancel the broadcast and has lead to students losing work. Viewing the computer screens can sometimes be hard to see as you can zoom in but there are only 2 settings - no inbetween which would be useful.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I am able to see what my whole classroom are doing without having to walk around the room. It also allows all students to see what I am doing regardless of where they are sat within the classroom.
