Karen - We are going to be a 1:1 school next year and are looking at SmartSync as a possibility. Can you let me know what your Wi-Fi network specs are (i.e. bandwidth and brand/# of access points)? Thanks - Luke

Video Conferencing - Recording and Uploading

I have a student that is working with a student from another state.   They are trying to create a Political Talk Show using Video Conferencing.   They would like to record it and be able to put this on their facebook page.     Does anyone know what software would be best for this?   They have tried Skype and it didn't work they would like.     Thank you.See More

I use 'AB tutor'. It is quite inexpensive and allows me to view and control all computers in my school from a single machine. I have the 'Green screen' that lets me lock any or all of the machines and puts up a message of my…

Mike, you don't happen to work for the company, do you? Please identify if you do as this is a forum for teachers and educators, vendors should identify when they are "pitching".

I have used the software Vision from GenevaLogic. It's pretty simple. The district is trying out NetSupport Schools Software. It's a bit more advanced and I'm just now getting use to it. I can see the students desktop, enlarge and…

I use iTALC in my lab and love it. I noticed that when I upgraded my graphics card some of the issues being shared disappeared. It is really nice having the ability to "lock down" the computers when things get out of hand. I love the…

I found out iTalc will not be available for Windows 7 environments until the end of the year. So I'll look at some of the others. Thank you for the useful information.

we tried Insight (Faronics) because it can handle a dual platform environment. not well though... like the other products mentioned, it really depends on network speed for wireless control, which is obviously essential in a 1:1 environment. It work…

We use both iTalc and Netsupport School. iTalc certainly is priced right but as Amy noted above, has glitches. Netsuppport School has been great in keeping current and adding features over the years; the initial investment can be difficult. We have…

I have heard about 'NETOP' , but have no idea about the software. Sometimes it becomes difficult to monitor the students when they are on their computers. Banani.

We've used SmartSync (smart.com) and it has great features. Our issue with it is that it doesn't work very well over our wireless. We are 1:1 laptop district and with anywhere from 700-1500 students all on their laptops, the wireless just…

Seems like most people really value iTalc. My problem is that I have NComputing bundled computers (where one CPU powers four monitors). The system is great for cost effectiveness, but limits the power of each computer. Has anyone else with a similar…
