It allows me to demonstrate software to participants and then to support students when they go to practice the learninig. I can support individuals without interfering with class flow and by selectively switching off show mode I can also allow advanced students to skip some instruction and work on their own."

"We started out looking for a product that would help teachers utilize our interactive whiteboards to their fullest potential. Using the share screen feature with our interactive whiteboards has proven to be a very useful feature in engaging the students and promoting a positive learning environment. Teachers love the ease with which they can share information between screens. The ability to centrally monitor what the students are viewing or listening to is also welcome. I was convinced NetSupport School was the best option for our classrooms and that has been proved over time. I have been very satisfied with NetSupport and will definitely come back for future software purchases."

"Our feeder schools allow their students to take time out during the normal school day to attend lessons at the Center. As so many lessons are computer based we have set up a system whereby students can come in and start the session without teacher input. Our Classroom Management tool, NetSupport School, lets us create pre-defined lessons and these can be pushed out automatically to the computers. Completed work can then be collected back in automatically by the teacher at the end. A handy information bar appears on each student screen and we can populate this with the objectives for the session."

"NetSupport School's range of PC and internet monitoring features help the instructors at NCCS maintain order in the classroom and keep students on task. The Technology Department are also catered for thanks to the Technician Console. This provides a range of dedicated tools that enable us to support and monitor all the computers on campus from a central machine. If an individual teacher encounters problems during a lesson they can quickly send an alert to the technician who is able to connect to the relevant PC or PCs and diagnose the issue. We are more often than not, able to resolve the problem without impacting on the lesson or having to pay a physical visit to the classroom."

Staff members visited another school within our district that was using NetSupport School. Our two concerns ahead of attending the demonstration were how we could better monitor students and the Internet sites they were visiting as well as having a learning tool where the teachers can interact via computer with students as a group or on a one to one basis. It didn't take long for NetSupport School to positively answer these concerns."

"We chose NetSupport School to replace a monitor display system in our student computer labs. Of the products we tested, NetSupport School provided excellent support for all the 32 and 64bit Windows operating systems we use up to and including Windows 7 as well as being fully compatible with the specific applications used in the Engineering Technology Department such as Inventor, Solidworks, MasterCAM and Ansys, which our existing solution wasn't. NetSupport School strikes a good balance between being feature rich yet easy to install and maintain and has an intuitive user interface which requires a minimum amount of time to learn. Finally the features for student feedback, recording and control will enhance the learning environment and provide today's media connected students with more options and opportunities to learn than they have had in the past."

"A number of products were tested but NetSupport School provided the best fit in terms of the class management functionality it provided as well as being the only product that was fully compatible with our NComputing virtual desktop environment. NetSupport School has greatly improved the interaction between instructors and students. This has proved to be particularly useful in the computer science department where instructors frequently need to troubleshoot problems that students encounter in their programming and other projects. With NetSupport School's range of collaboration tools the entire class can participate in this process. The instructor can project a PC screen to anyone else in the lab and with the Group Leader function can even let individual students take control of the process."

NetSupport School has proved invaluable in fully-automating the way we assess students. The built-in Testing Module lets us design bespoke tests and exams and then auto run them on each student PC. The real bonus is that the results are then automatically collated by the product enabling us to instantly provide feedback on the individuals success or otherwise! We are also indebted to the PC monitoring tools that come with NetSupport School.

We had then branched out into designing and using the Testing Console in order to re-stream an entire year group in Science. With the new version and the ability to integrate audio into the control and interaction abilities, we have seen the potential to have ad hoc language labs using our existing ICT infrastructure with nothing more than an appropriate headset. The product and support are both excellent and mean my support department can function effectively covering 6 ICT suites with just one technician sat at his desk - priceless!"

"We have been using Netsupport at Finchley Catholic High School for two years and remain extremely pleased with it. It gives us the ability to handle large ICT rooms effectively. The demonstration mode runs very smoothly and is, for us, preferable to demonstrating ICT skills on a whiteboard. All of the tools have been very carefully designed with classrooms in mind: blanking screens, disabling internet access and exhibiting one student's work to the rest of the class are just some of the very handy features. Our technicians have been able to install and manage it easily and we've found the official technical support very helpful as well as our dedicated account manager James, although we have hardly had to make use of them given how stable the package is. I really would not want to go back to teaching ICT without NetSupport; crass as it may sound, it has definitely become our 'killer app' for teaching ICT."

Using NetSupport School, I have been able prevent students from using email, from browsing the internet and from using software that they should not be using during class. I have also been able to monitor the students' PCs when they work on their projects. NetSupport is also useful when I give hands-on exams. During the exams, I can watch what the students are doing on their PCs and I can also make sure the students are logged in as themselves so they cannot get a file from another student's network drive.

There is software out there, but it seemed much of it was specialized for a particular task, and I definitely did not want 12 pieces of software.

"Since using NetSupport School, we are able to keep the students more focused on their task during the short time frame that we have them each week. When they come in, I have the Computers locked down so that I have their full attention while giving them instructions for their daily lessons. Then when I unlock them, I can monitor them from one central location without the fear of them going off track. NetSupport has also been a great resource for being able to demonstrate from my computer to theirs on new lessons and activities. This also helps in time management when the students don't even have to look away from their monitors to get instruction. One of the most valuable assets I feel is the ability to control each individual student's computer. This is great for individual help with a student or to be able to control that off task student. There are many other great features such as the test module and lesson plan module. This is a great asset that I would highly recommend to anyone in a computer lab situation."

As the computer teacher, I have longed for the ability to view the monitors of my students, to see what they are seeing and to see what they are working on as well. NetSupport allows me to interact with my students without having to leave the front of my classroom. It also allows me to broadcast an individual student's screen to the whole classroom (without revealing the identity of the user). I can also lockdown the classroom when I want the complete attention of every student.

"There weren't any other products we could find that would do what we wanted. Each of the three grade levels had different needs regarding what NetSupport School could do. The high school labs simply needed monitoring by the librarian and computer lab teacher - just so they would know they were being supervised even though the teacher/librarian was not in visual sight of the monitor. The middle school situation needed monitoring as well as print restriction and Internet supervision. The elementary school needed all the above, in addition to a way to monitor printing, take control of their screens, and broadcast individual screens to the lab. The addition of NetSupport School has made the librarian/teacher job MUCH easier and caused our students to be more conscious of what they are doing and how they are doing it. Implementing NetSupport School hasn't really lowered our TCO, but it has saved us having to find either volunteer or part time help to oversee lab use."

NetSupport School has proved to be an excellent purchase.We utilize the product in two ways. While teaching, it allows the Instructor to focus the students on what is being taught by limiting their own computer access. Secondly, NetSupport School allows the Computer Lab Technicians to restrict the websites and applications the students use in the open labs to reduce the number of viruses and spyware infections as well as assisting in sending messages and enforcing the Open Lab guidelines. The Customer Service from NetSupport has also been fantastic. Whether by phone or e-mail the staff are courteous and very helpful, resolving any questions we have in a timely fashion.

"As an inclusive secondary school with challenging pupils, we find NetSupport an incredibly useful tool to keep pupils on task. We find that we can avoid potential problems by, for example, setting NetSupport to only allow applicable websites and direct pupils to them right from the start, so the issue of asking pupils to “stop playing games” never even arises. We looked at other software products and found that NetSupport was the easiest to use, and this was extremely important as we want teachers to feel comfortable using the software and not daunted by it. We are pleased with the service we have received from our NetSupport account manager, and would thoroughly recommend the product to other schools."

The ability it gives to monitor student performance, as well as assist them during class without having to walk to their work station, is a key benefit of NetSupport software. I have saved hours of instructional time simply because of being able to monitor the students from my computer. As much as I have benefited from NetSupport, I have not mastered the program yet and am convinced that there are many more advantages waiting to be discovered from this great program."

"The Batavia High School CAD lab has been using the Robotel class management system since I came here 11 years ago. It was adequate, but limited. We will be moving into a new CAD lab next year, and I wanted a system that was more "state of the art". I was allowed to investigate what was on the market, and after I used NetSupport's 30 day free trial, I knew what I wanted for the new lab. NetSupport School V10 has all the functions I need to demonstrate and teach CAD to my students as an entire class, or in individualized groups. I can ask and answer my students questions through messaging and monitor their progress as they are working. The system is very intuitive, and I rarely need to consult the manual or help. My Robotel system crashed and burned, and the district bought NetSupport for my use for the remainder of this school year, as well as into the new lab."

I have now been using NetSupport school on the 32 student workstations in my elementary computer lab with students in grades pre-K through four. It is working great and my classes are running more smoothly, I am able to have a faster turnaround between classes, and the students love some of the features like announcements and being able to sign in on the register. NetSupport School has allowed me to achieve many of my desired outcomes in a quick and hassle free manner. I am now able to distribute and collect student projects with just a few clicks of my mouse. I no longer waste 15 minutes in the morning turning on each computer in my class and logging them on. I am able to remotely turn on and off the student computers as well as sign in under 90 seconds. The time I am saving allows me more time to prepare other aspects of my lesson without having to worry about the technical obstacles. The students are more productive as a result of the NetSupport School tools as well. I am able to redirect activities and broadcast example screens to their computer in a matter of seconds allowing me to easily demonstrate key concepts without students being distracted by games or the web. NetSupport School works better than I could have imagined, I am able to keep students on task and classroom disruptions to a minimum. This software is the perfect solution for any computer lab and I can not imagine trying to meet the needs of my classroom without it."

More than a 'big brother is watching' software, students can stay seated while the teacher demonstrates concepts on screen and/or works with selected students one-on-one. In addition, when teaching strategies require monitors to be locked, the software accommodates this and can display one students screen to all other monitors. If you don't want your students on the Internet and are unable to constantly monitor each individual because of your work with individual students, NetSupport allows you to block this application, as well as others to help maintain student on-task time.

With Title I funds we recently purchased 30 laptops along with a laptop cart to provide classes and/or workshops to our parents, students, and teachers. The main purpose, though, was to use the laptops for our very successful A-ST@R Program (After School Tutoring @ Roosevelt), which has grown from 7-10 students per day in November/December 2007 to 50-70 students per day by the end of August 2008. With the laptops serving as an additional resource for our students, we are now providing tutoring to between 100-110 students per day. Our A-ST@R Program runs Monday through Friday from 3:15 to 5:30 p.m. and offers tutoring, study hall, and detention hour removal for our students. Students are able to use the laptops and their wireless Internet capabilities to complete homework assignments or to conduct research for their classes. NetSupport provides us with a perfect solution for monitoring those students that are using our laptops during A-ST@R hours. We have support personnel that monitor this function in order to ensure the students' focus on academic content and that they are visiting appropriate websites.

There isn't one particular feature that stands out. I like the total package. Your software allows us to have more than one tutor, and that feature is most important because we have two computer teachers in our lab. (One of the main reasons we switched from Altiris Vision.) We use the send and receive function a lot. I used to go around to each computer manually installing shortcuts etc... 35 times. What a time saver! I can give oral instructions to the younger students while they are working via the announce feature. They are so funny, they stop and look around and smile. They said it sounds like they are on an airplane. I have been telling the other technologists about your software. Many of them use a projector to teach from. NetSupport is far more engaging!

From the network administration side I can tell you that the program was breeze to install. That's exactly what I look when deploying new applications. As a network administrator I don't have the luxury of spending one or two days learning how to deploy an application. You've done a great job in developing a simple an effective installation process. Thanks!

The City College of San Francisco recently set up a Computerized Assessment Center. As part of our requirement, we evaluate several CBT software products and finally decided on NSS 6.0, we then later upgraded to 7.0. It is very user friendly and the tech support is always prompt and Courteous. My sales rep for NSS, Mr. Phil Austin, always follows-up on our questions and concerns. Overall, the product is very easy to set up, install, and train the faculty and staffs to use.

I cannot say enough positive things about Netsupport School. Three years ago, I was searching for remote control software that was geared for the teacher, and nothing kept the educational environment in mind... until I found Netsupport School. Not only does this software keep the classroom in mind, I cannot imagine teaching technology without it. It is by far the best Remote Control software there is - in any platform! I bought it for my school and since then, two other schools in the district have jumped aboard. We all love it, and could not teach without it. I feel like I owe half my salary to this software. After all, it does half the work! I cannot say enough... Thank you for this software. It is simply the best!

Thank You. I love this program. The kids must stay on task at their own computers to see what I want them to do. I break the tasks up into small segments and return the computer screens to them after each segment. There by no one gets lost. It is a tremendous resource for special needs students and slow readers. Every school that has multiple computers needs this program. It is better than the expensive smart boards, in my opinion.

We are a university, and as such, cannot address your survey questions about profitability and increased production. We purchased NetSupport for use in our Skills lab because we had a problem with students not staying on task during class. They would surf the net or check their email. NetSupport gave control of the classroom back to the instructor. The lock feature is perfect for lecture time and the ability to monitor individual machines while the students work is invaluable. I don't know how you can use this data as you market your product to businesses, but rest assured that we are happy with your product.

I have found NetSupport be an absolute lifesaver in running my middle school computer lab. Recently, I had to load photos for a project my students were working on. Instead of going from one computer to another (25 in all) loading the photos, I was able to load them in one shot, with just a few clicks of the mouse. When our district got slammed by the Blaster Worm last week, I was able to run the fix and install the patch remotely, again without having to sit an each computer individually. The ability to monitor and assist students as they work, collect their work and distribute files has made NetSupport the best software investment that our school has made.

Here are a couple of items I really like about NetSupport School: 1. Excellent tech support. They are always ready to either answer the questions and help solve the problems when I need them. If for some reason a solution cannot be achieved at that time, they work to find a solution and get back to me when the solution is found. 2. The ability to scan the whole classroom and ensure students are on task and working on the appropriate assignment. 3. The ability to lock out certain programs from the local computer 4. The ability to lock out certain internet sites from the computers 5. NetSupport School far exceeds all other classroom/lab control programs. I hope the five areas above help. If you need more details or some other format, let me know. I would be happy to help, as I am very pleased with NetSupport School.

We heard about NetSupport School from Google searches, then reviews, etc. It Contained the lab management features we needed. We ran demo versions of various products. NSS had the most features, implemented correctly, and was also the easiest to use. Tremendous cost savings and software that faculty can actually use.

My experience dealing with your company has been very positive and pleasurable. Feel free to edit any portion of the statement below. Thank you for asking us for our contribution. Sylvia Our school was one of those which did not see a need to buy a program like NetSupport. However, with our student population growing so much, it had become difficult to monitor all the students' work and use of the computers. Since we installed NetSupport, this task has become very manageable. The company offered great support and they were very prompt responding our emails. Phil Austin was very pleasant to deal with (unlike so many sales representatives!) I am just sorry we didn't do this sooner.

We have now used Net Support for 2 years. It continues to give us the computer monitoring that we need. I would recommend this product for any school system that needs to track their users and what they are doing on district computers.

We chose NetSupport School out of several competitor applications because it's features were comparable to much more expensive products. We were pleased to find that the application is very easy to learn from an administrative standpoint and that it has lower bandwidth requirements than other products we tested. We especially like the quizzing function. The sales and support staff were very responsive and gave us as much time as necessary to make the right classroom control application decision.

Our school uses NetSupport School to manage a computer lab with 30 PCs, which I maintain. I have discovered several benefits while using this network management software. It saves me considerable amounts of time; I no longer have to go from PC to PC to "Power-up" the lab by using the Client/Power Management/Power On feature. I can shut down the lab just as easily. I can send messages to all 30 workstations or to specific users using Client/Announce. I can observer user access using Client/View or demonstrate what I'm working on using Client/Show. Your software has been tremendously helpful. Thank you for keeping us updated and taking the time to find out if your software is performing to its highest potential.

In our organization we provide computer classroom training services from beginning Windows classes to advanced Air Force systems training. Because of the diverse types of training and personnel we provide services for, we face the challenge of constant software/files installations and removals along with keeping our PCs in working order from the hundreds of students that use them each month. Installing NetSupport School in our classrooms has been a great help to both our IT staff and our instructors. It was a simple quick installation and was easy to configure. With NetSupport School, our instructors can interact with each student in the room from their own workstation. They also have the ability to lock the keyboards and blank the monitors of an entire classroom with a couple of clicks of a mouse. This helps to keep students focused on what they are being taught and prevents them from poking around areas on the PC or web, which in the past has ended up with us rebuilding a few computers every month due to deleted or corrupted files. NetSupport School also gives Instructors and IT staff the ability to quickly and efficiently push files to all the PCs in the classroom from the instructor's workstation. Although I have not had a need of any technical support since we purchased this product over a year ago, I was surprised in being contacted by NetSupport who informed me about the new version 7. Since we also signed up for the maintenance and support agreement, we received the new version free of charge. I am looking forward to be able to block software programs and URL sites from student access using the new version.

NetSupport is wonderful and it is fulfilling our needs but one. As I spoke to you on the phone as and idea that there be some way to lock out certain features for some users. This would really make it possible for me and the tech department to worry less about what someone may do when they are logged in. You said that they were working on new additions and I am hoping this is something that can be in a future upgrade. Still I love the Net Support and want to say to you and all at you company, Well Done!!!! You have all done a great job with this program.

NetSupport School has more than doubled our computer classroom efficiency by providing our teachers with the necessary tools to teach effectively and keep students on task. We probably would have shut down our lab if we had not found this product. Our teachers love being able to show their desktop to the students, exhibit students desktops to the rest of the class, see what students are doing on the computers in real time, as well as instantly lock down the computers when things get a bit out of hand. NetSupport School has removed our teachers' fear of using technology.
