...I prefer to have students use technology outside of class. A common problem
is that if students have computer access in class, then a good percentage will be checking e-mail, chatting, surfing the web, playing games, etc. rather than listening to the lecture. All of us who have taught in a computer lab would love to have a power kill switch at our desks to be able to turn off the monitors.
There's a great software program call NetOPs School by Crosstec. I've used it in our computer classroom. It allows you to black out screens and lock out keyboards during lecture. It allows you to broadcast your screen or any of the students screens to the other computers. You can remote control any single computer and provide "over the shoulder" help. You can send files to all computers with a single mouse click and students can turn in papers to a folder on your computer. You can also monitor each computer to make sure they are on task.
