Monitor

Monitor individual student's machines from your PC

• Display multiple screens simultaneously for an overview of what the whole class is doing
• Mouse over thumbnails to enlarge your view and check on progress
• Scroll through students' screens, viewing each in turn to check everyone remains on task

Control

Ranger Remote Control puts the teacher firmly in control of the modern classroom environment.

• Restrict applications available to students during a lesson - e.g. disable the calculator in Maths
• Control web access. For the duration of the lesson URL's can be allocated an 'approved' or 'restricted' status
• Lock all screens and keyboards to get the attention of the class
• Immediately block all Internet access

Interact

Interact with individual students, groups or the whole class - all without having to leave your desk or take your eye off other students

• Broadcast the teacher's screen to the whole class or to selected students to demonstrate work, show a video etc
• Control web access. For the duration of the lesson URL's can be allocated an 'approved' or 'restricted' status
• Broadcast students' screens so they can showcase work
• NEW Whiteboard feature for improved collaboration
• Pass control between students to facilitate group work
• Customised alerts to get students' attention or signal the end of a session - "5 minutes to the end of the session, save your work"
• Replay students' screen activity to demonstrate good work or highlight areas of difficulty

Support

Provide class-wide support by broadcasting your screen to all PCs, or provide more discrete support to individual groups and students when they request it or if you see them struggling.

• Online "Help" and "Chat" requests - so students can get your attention and visa versa
• Take control of individual PCs to provide training and support
• Broadcast students' screens so they can showcase work
• Work interactively with individual students without disturbing the rest of the class or even needing to leave your desk
• Keep an eye on individual students' progress and provide discrete one-to-one support

Assess

Record students' screen activity to review later - great for providing examples of progress at parents evening or for evidencing unauthorised PC usage

• Set and administer computer based tests using a variety of multimedia formats - a good way of getting students ready for more formalised online testing for national qualifications
• Gather class or group feedback through instant student surveys

Plan And Organise

Help organise your lesson by creating fully automated lesson plans which 'play' in real time, prompting you as necessary with the current activity, time remaining, next action etc.

• A quick and easy way of structuring lesson plans
• Save individual lessons to be used again and again
• Great for creating 'standby' supply lessons or to help keep to time
• Ideal at inspection time to demonstrate planning and use of ICT
• Automatically hand out and collect back work into users home areas
• Store classroom layouts
