These tools come with a comprehensive set of features for both teachers and IT admins. The admin-oriented features such as hardware/software management, app, and web usage reports, and remote troubleshooting (to name a few) enable IT staff to provide optimized computing environment so that both educators and students can benefit from the institute’s investment on technology. <br/> <br/></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Let us see how an effective</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">classroom management software</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">can ensure IT-friendly classroom management!<br/></span></p>
<ul>
<li><b>Total Visibility and Control over Hardware and Software<br/> <br/></b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Depending upon its size, an educational institute can have hundreds of computers deployed in multiple locations inside the campus. Computers in training labs and classrooms may have considerably different configurations depending upon their use. It becomes extremely difficult for IT admins to visit each device physically for checking its configuration settings and system updates. Also, troubleshooting each issue encountered by students during the classes by physically visiting the workstations is not just time-consuming, but it also disrupts the ongoing session and slows down the entire process of imparting and consuming knowledge.<br/> <br/></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">The tech-control panel of a</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">classroom computer management software</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">helps IT admins to view and access the system configuration of all workstations with just a click. A robust school lab management software features provide various filters and even a sort view as per the requirement of the IT admins. For instance, an IT admin can identify the computers running on a particular operating system, those having particular applications installed, and so on. <br/></span></li>
<li><b>Control Over application and Web Accessibility</b><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1798934791?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1798934791?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" class="align-full" width="750"/></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">Provision of unrestricted access to relevant resources while eliminating the scope of web misuse is a major challenge faced by digital classrooms today. A</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">classroom management software</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">empowers IT admins to configure and customize accessibility to various digital resources to ensure that the learning experience is not affected due to usage restrictions. By implementing the</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">student monitoring software,</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">IT admins can ensure that students’ connect only to the permitted school networks, access the approved websites and media, and use relevant applications. This kind of comprehensive monitoring and control highlights the significance of a robust</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">classroom management software</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">for educational institutes.<br/> <br/></span></li>
<li><b>Remote Control and Assistance<br/></b> <span style="font-weight: 400;"><br/> The ability to remotely control a device is one of the greatest advantages offered by a</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">classroom computer management software</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. In every educational institute, a computer is used by students for a range of activities. Even instructors’ workstations, though accessible only to teachers, is constantly used for other functions, unrelated to the curriculum. As a result, system-related issues pop up and IT needs to resolve each case manually. This often leads to piling-up of service tickets.</span><br/> <span style="font-weight: 400;">A</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">classroom management software</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">enables IT team members to have complete control over students’ computers activities. Mouse and keyboard of students can be accessed and controlled without leaving the admin office. Needless to mention, this allows IT to resolve issues in minutes, which otherwise, would have taken hours or days to complete. Visiting every workstation physically and troubleshooting is clearly not the best way to deal with the issues commonly encountered in institutes. The remote access feature makes computer maintenance quite a manageable task. This feature is also useful for teachers as they can receive expert assistance in case a software function is difficult to comprehend. </span></li>
<li><b>Health and Security status of the systems<br/> <br/></b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Keeping firewalls and other security solutions up-to-date on all the computers in the campus is a routine task for IT admins. Also, keeping the system settings updated is extremely difficult as students and teachers often make changes to the settings to suit their requirement.<br/> <br/></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">A</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">classroom management software</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">aids here as it also acts as a centralized management platform for IT administrators. It allows authorities to monitor whether the firewalls are updated and active on all the devices. Using the</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">school computer lab management software,</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">IT admins can define a ‘Health Status’ for the computers and can enable notifications to track which configured categories and not matching the health definition.<br/> <br/></span></li>
<li><b>Efficient Power Utilization<br/></b> <span style="font-weight: 400;"><br/> Besides all the workstations in the entire campus, the IT infrastructure of schools and colleges often includes servers, routers, and other IT equipment. That is why electricity bills are a major overhead for all the educational institutes. Managing the power consumption of computers is essential to keep the OpEx within budget. However, with hundreds of devices in a campus, power optimization cannot be expected as students are likely to forget switching off the devices or putting them on sleep mode after use.</span> <br/> <span style="font-weight: 400;"><br/> The power management capability of a</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">classroom management software</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">becomes effective for this purpose. It enables the in-campus IT staff to remotely change the power settings on both educator and student devices. Systems can be scheduled to shutdown, restart or hibernate corresponding to the class schedules. This ensures that students’ and teachers’ time is not wasted in starting the computers nor are the devices left switched on after use.</span><br/> <span style="font-weight: 400;"><br/> There are a number of</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">classroom management software</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">available in the market, each claiming to be the best in class. Hence, selecting a comprehensive one that meets all the computer lab management requirements could be a challenge. Creating a list of challenges and analyzing the software features against that list is helpful in identifying the best option. One of the preferred classroom management solutions is Faronics Insight which has been adopted by various educational institutes. The software comes with both teacher console and tech console to ensure that campus’ IT infrastructure is being used efficiently and effectively.</span></li>

I am currently in college for teaching and have been thinking about how I am going to choose the type of school when I get a job. I used to think there was only public or private schools to choose from. Now, however I realize that there are many different choices to make under those categories. Under the public school category there are five different choices: Traditional, Full-service traditional schools, Magnet, Charter, and Alternative. Then choosing from the private schools there are four more choices: Religious, Nonreligious, Single gender, and For-profit. So knowing all of this information, my question for you all is what tips do you have for choosing where to work?

<p><br/>Bringing to Israel the model of <a href="http://www.hightechhigh.org/" target="_blank">http://www.hightechhigh.org/</a>raises interesting questions.</p>
<p>One of them is the principal - can a model developed in one country fit the culture and mentality of another? That's a question that was raised about education everywhere looking up to the Finland model.</p>
<p>The other question is if adjustments are made - how are they made without cancelling out the core of the innovation project?</p>
<p>And the last and certainly not least is about this specific project, which is based on Portfolio - when changing the learning model, we must also change the assessment model. The whole system of grades and tests needs to change. Who needs to lead this? I assume universities. But are they equipped to do it?</p>

<p><b>What is MySciLife? </b></p>
<p>MySciLife® is an online social learning environment where students create an identity as a science concept, such as an organism, animal. object or force: What would it be like to live life as a cell? Students develop this persona and maintain the role of this science concept via status updates, interactions and tools familiar to today’s youth—safely within the MySciLife® community. MySciLife® is a personal, dynamic science learning experience, a place for science-focused interaction, and a tool for teachers to assess understanding as students “live” and learn science, created by TeachersFirst.com.<b> </b></p>
<p></p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p>Our MySciLife<b>®</b> Pilot Teacher Ambassadors had great success using <b>MySciLife® learning community</b> to deliver their science curriculum in <b>Grades 6-9</b>. Student interest, motivation and learning was shown to improve. Full results will be posted soon on our website. We would like to expand our research project to a total of thirty science teachers from across the country, next year. <b>You will be contracted and compensated for your time.</b></p>
<p>The entire project is FREE for schools, teachers and students participating and will remain free. We hope to bring this project to life to provide fun and inter-active learning to middle school students. </p>

<p>Hi</p>
<p>I am looking to connect with classes around the world, grades 3-6, who are interested in early access to beta testing of a new innovative game, where kids can trade knowledge, collect it and play with it.</p>
<p>It's going to take about 6 months before we're ready with the beta version - but this is a really great opportunity not only to get an early access to this game, but also to affect how it is further developed.</p>
<p>The game is supportive of the Common Core Standards in Language Arts. It's aimed at supporting kids' curiosity and creativity while expanding their general knowledge.</p>
<p>Please let me know if you're interested and where your class is located.</p>
<p>This opportunity is open to any class with English speaking students around the world. Will ship European languages later.</p>
<p>Please feel free to feedback or ask anything either here or in a direct private message.</p>
