So what is all this buzz about, well the projectors have a infrared eye looking at the projected surface and with a infrared pen just like the old Mimio / eBeam etc you can control the computer with your infrared pen. The manufacturers say these projectors will make all surfaces interactive.. well it is not that nice feeling to use a hard pen on a ruff wall for instance. Pros are of course the cost of this solution compared to a Pen based interactive whiteboard and a projector. The cons are today the software - they can´t compete with the functionality made for a board by a board manufacturer. We at IWBusers.com really like touch - love our iPhones and coming iPads :-) and therefor we still se the need of real touch based IWBs. But it will be interesting to see who these producst will sell into the schools.

INSTALLATION Snetclass is installed as a teacher software and separate student software. The teacher software is what you pay for, student licences are almost unlimited since it allows 100 students to connect to one teacher at the same time. Normally it should be used in a classroom of 20-30 students. We found the installation to be really straight forward. The students that should be in the same LAN/room connects easily. We have done test thru VPN but as with other classroom softwares this could be harder to get running due to firewalls etc. AFTER INSTALLATION Now the fun begins to explore all the functions. And there are a lot to explore. The teacher can get a full screen with easy overview (as the picture above), here the teacher see all students that are connected and can choose what to do. As a classroom software you can ofcourse view all the students PC screens so that everyone works with the task given. Snetclass also offers you to broadcast your own screen or a student screen to all others. The Silence function is the computer class teachers dream When you want focus to be put on you just push the Silence button and all student computers are locked so that the students can look on you. The screen message can easily be changed. With screen recording you easily can record what happens on your screen, the recording can then be saved for later playback thru the screen playback function to all students. This functions is one of the fastest we have seen proaberbly since it uses its own format. You can select if you want to record sound/voice as well. Students can also record on their client and then playback localy. For instance record something that the teacher shows if they see the need for that. The feaures program control and web control offers you to disable some programs or internet webpages to be started / visited. Simply add the webbpages / applications that the students should use or not use and the studens or can´t access it, by a click of a button you can enable them access to the page again. Really simple interface functions Windows style. Below Program control and Web control. Net cinema allows the teacher to broadcast a video file to all students so that when played it displays all over the screen. Works with some video codecs but not all formats. Remote setting may not be used that much but with this you can set for instance the screen resolution for a student computer. You can also save setting for easy upload when needed. Could be useful if student PCs aren´t locked so that settings are changed by students. File distribution is really smart. Students can send one or more files to the teacher. The files are saved automatically in a folder preset by the teacher. When the teacher sends files to students the teacher can select where on the student PCs windows folders the file should be placed. For instance Desktop, My documents etc. SUMMARY Among all the features mentioned you can also easily chat both with text, raise hands do voice brodcast, voice chat etc. When working with your teacher PC you have a tool bar that automatically pops up when you go to the top of the screen. You can also paint on all screens to explain even better or to use with a Interactive whiteboard it works perfectly! Really simple to use and since there is text when hovering icons it becomes even simpler. We didn´t have to open the manual even once! We give this software: Want this software?
