I was pleased to read that DyKnow, the company that created the "DyKnow Vision" product discussed below, has also come out with classroom/ library management software called the "DyKnow Monitor." This product allows you to see thumbnails of all students' screens, to push screens or sites to students' computers for class use, to restrict computers to certain sites to ensure focus on the lessons, and to freeze screens or send student attention messages when necessary.
Check it out here: http://www.dyknow.com/monitor/ .

I've never known a filtering system that the kids in the school didn't know a way around.
I like the monitoring aspect, though.
The name put me off a bit as a student but as a teacher, I like it. I would think this software would be necessary for any school using computers in a typical classroom. How many of us have played a game when we should have been doing something else? I am sure it is no different with students.
Thanks to both of you for your comments. I agree that the name "DyKnow Monitor" isn't the greatest!!! The technology itself is pretty effective though. Besides the monitoring, restricting, and screen locking systems that prevent distracting game playing or surfing (You can even restrict all students' screens to just the site being used in class), you can also send websites directly to all students' computers and help students one-on-one through popup dialog boxes.
