Does anyone use classroom management software in their computer labs? I installed GenevaLogic Visions 6 classroom management software this year and it messed up some of my programs. It seems to be affecting saving images, and google docs?? Anyone else use it or recommend a better program?
We use AB Tutor Control (www.abconsulting.com). The teachers love it because it's so simple to use and we love it because of the price. The new version 6 is now even better. I really recommend you try it out.
We also have AB Tutor Control and love it. I was originally going to purchase it for my lab out of my own budget, but when the district saw how affordable it was, they ordered it for every computer lab and IMC. It is very user-friendly.
I'm affiliated with eBehavior CMS™, founded by my Positive Coaching Alliance [a .org spin-off of Stanford University Athletic Dept.] mentor and colleague Steve Henderson. It is the fruit of an idea he conceived while on a Fulbright scholarship trip abroad to study Int'l .edu best practices.
eBehavior CMS™ [Classroom Management System] is a Software as a Service [SAS] tool used to implement and track a consistent, school wide behavior policies focused on positive recognition. eBehavior CMS™ has been launched across numerous Silicon Valley school campuses because it SIMPLIFIES the process of classroom management for administrator, teachers and PARENTS while reducing the burden of managing behaviors disruptive to educational attainment. These schools are able to raise student self-directedness and forethought towards POSITIVE classroom behaviors and educational achievement.
eBehavior SIMPLIFIES the process of Classroom Management for Administrator, Teachers and PARENTS so we catch students _DOING THINGS RIGHT_. These positive reinforcements help them to overcome learning difficulties and disruptive self-limiting behaviors. eBehavior is being acknowledged by San José State University Department of Elementary Education's new Center for Reaching and Teaching the Whole Child.
As many of you will agree, this is a highly disruptive tech solution that establishes a community culture recognizing parents, teachers and administrators must acknowledge and reward the students' positive academic and social behaviors in real-time.
... I like to call it the ultimate school-based social networking app ;-D
In my district, we also use SynchronEyes at some locations. It is produced by Smart Technologies. It does a great job with the management component, but also has other strengths, one of which is that it gives teacher an additional way to help and support students as they work. We have elementary teachers, who are not as worried about behavior as middle and high, using it primarily for student collaboration. They love it.
