Send/Collect Files
The daunting task of distributing and collecting homework and tests is easy in LanSchool v7.6. Simply select a file and send it to the students. When it is time to collect the file, click the Collect files button and the file is automatically brought back to a unique location on the teacher’s computer or network drive.
For power users, the send/collect files feature also supports environment variables, wildcards and subfolders.
Power On, Logoff, Restart, Power Off
Turning machines on and off can take 10-20 minutes every day. Get that time back with LanSchool’s Power features. Selected student machines can be powered on, logged off, restarted or shutdown with the click of a button. The power on features only work with desktops that support the Intel Wake-On-Lan standard.
Multi-remote control
Unique to LanSchool v7.6 is the ability to do multi-remote control. This feature allows the teacher or administrator to take control of multiple machines at the same time to perform administrative tasks or log the machines in at the same time.
Remote Login
Remotely log in Windows computers using the same credentials for every computer.
I am a math teacher and use LanSchool quite often and it is great.
Before this program I was reluctant to use the computer lab in my class because I was sure that some of the students would be like I was in school and get some “goofing off time”.
Now other schools have come to Mason to see what we are doing because or school is at the top of the region. LanSchool is one of the things that I recommend because I can keep the kids on task when we use a computer based program for the TAKS test (State Test).
