LanSchool

Picture
LanSchool on a Chrome book does work.

You know and love LanSchool, LanSchool lets you monitor/observe and remote control student computers and see what they are doing.  As well as many other features including a web history...

To install it, it must be requested and then the;
LanSchool app gets pushed from the district to student Chromebooks
LanSchool teacher gets installed by STS on teacher PC.

There are some caveats.
  • ​It is USER based, not device based.  Which means each user has to install or accept the LanSchool app. for each class.  If a student in first period who has used LanSchool on a Chromebook. When they log into a Chrome book 2nd period they will STILL show up on the first
  • Teacher must hit F5 (refresh) screen to NOT see past students.
  • Students must accept the Share Screen option and
  • Input their teachers LanSchool channel in EACH classroom
  • If a wrong channel is entered students must restart computer.

My Thoughts

I say "No". we are not going to use it here.  
Why?  
  1. Because, EVERY teacher (with Chromebooks) has to buy into it.  Since it is user specific. If student A logs in to a Chromebook in Teacher A's class and uses LanSchool... When in Student A logs in to Teacher B's class 2nd period (math?)  Student A will still be seen by Teacher A. Unless or until the student changes their own channel. 
  2. I am not sure ALL Teachers here will even use LanSchool teacher.  Many do not even use it while in the current computer labs.

I may be wrong and I would be happy to have it pushed out if Chromebook teachers will use it.
