Faronics Insight empowers teachers with full control over classroom computers and student attention. Teachers love the fact that they can share their screen with students, provide remote assistance to students from a central console, and monitor classroom screens to ensure students are on task. Students have the ability to request and receive help directly in their workstation session, and have their voice heard through classroom voting. With the power to disable applications, Internet access, and blank student screens, teachers can quickly gain student attention when required.
"The ability to monitor student activities strengthens teaching effectiveness and ensures that students are kept on task," said Guillermo Tellez, Product Manager for Insight. "But Insight's greatest strength is that it has the power to create classroom environments where technology accelerates the learning experience."
A free, fully functional 30-day evaluation version of Insight can be downloaded at www.faronics.com for the Windows operating system. Designed with teachers in mind, Faronics Insight is changing the way technology is viewed in the classroom for both students and teachers alike.
