IWBUsers.com - International Interactive whiteboard user forum - users of all brands are welcome to share lesson activites between teachers for all types of subjects and schools.

Classroom software is a product that is growing. The ease of use is as in all other software one key feature that needs to be looked at.

There are several softwares out in the market SMART Sync (formerly Synchroneyes) from SMART is one of the biggest players. Snetclass which we also sell here on IWBUsers is a really value for price product.
Both products works as following. One teacher license is installed on the teacher computer and multiple student licenses are installed on the student computers.

When computers are turned on they can automatically be connected to the teacher computer. The teacher can see what the students do and also broadcast the screen to all students.
Applications can be stopped from running and easilly turned on again.

Some features works really great for students with hearing aids for instance. Instead of the teacher needing to get the attention fysically from the students the teacher can easily send a screen message to all students to "look up" for instance.

Sending files or multimedia directly to all students is another nice feature of these products. This works perfect for schools having one laptop per student to easily send out big files for lessons / homework without worring about mailbox sizes.

The best thing is that these softwares works really good on any IWB - Interactive whiteboard.
