Glad to see you online. Here at Surabaya International School, we manage our 1:1 laptops via a program called DyKnow Monitor/Vision. (http://www.dyknow.com) It allows a teacher to not only see all laptops in their classroom as thumbnails on their screens but the Vision portion of the software offers sophisticated yet easy to use collaboration tools. The program requires a fast wireless connection (N Standard) but as it is server based and not per-to-per, it runs without as much bandwidth overhead as you might expect. Currently it is only a PC application but there are plans to go Mac as well. Of course there is no replacement for good classroom management, but this goes a long way toward keeping students on track. Hey Daneah,
