## Reviews

### "Perfect for schools" — 5.0/5

> **Claire** | *19 January 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This software is exactly what schools need in this day and age. I sometimes give my students assignments on computers, and I recently realized that kids were using online calculators when I wasn't looking in order to solve problems without doing the work. With LanSchool, I can see exactly what each student has on their screen. Even just knowing that I have this ability prevents students from being off task.
> 
> **Cons**: I found it difficult to set up LanSchool and to create class rosters. However, once you get used to the software it shouldn't be a problem.
> 
> All of the teachers at my school use LanSchool to keep students on task, from elementary all the way to high school.

### "Pros and Cons of LanSchool" — 5.0/5

> **Loran** | *16 June 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I absolutely love LanSchool. Teachers don't always have the ability to walk around the room making sure everyone is on task at all times. LanSchool allows me to work with a small group, while still being informed about what my students are doing on their computer. LanSchool provides a pictures of each student's screen allowing me to quickly scroll through to see if everyone is on task. For students that aren't on task, you can message them, push the correct website to their screen, cut off access to any other website that is not the one they're supposed to be on, or pause their screen all together to make an announcement. You can do all of these things individually, or for the whole class.
> 
> **Cons**: I have no cons for LanSchool. It is a very simplistic website, but it does exactly what I need it to do.
> 
> I would highly recommend LanSchool to any teacher. It's been a game changer in my classroom.

### "LANSchool Review" — 3.0/5

> **Clay** | *27 June 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: LANSchool is good for a computer lab environment.  It's very cut and dry as to what it does and what it is used for.
> 
> **Cons**: It's just very buggy, some computers show up on the list initially and others require typing in the settings several times for it to take.   Also, it was not set up to manage in a centralized location for each computer lab so whenever we would make a network change it was a tedious process to make adjustments in each individual classroom.
> 
> Overall I do not recommend LANschool

### ""Revolutionizing Classroom Management: A Comprehensive Review of LanSchool"" — 5.0/5

> **Tara** | *12 February 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: LanSchool allows teachers to take control of students' screens to help provide guidance or offer assistance. This feature allows teachers to share their screens with students, making it easier to present lessons or collaborate on projects. LanSchool will enable teachers to monitor what students are doing on their devices, making it easier to ensure that they stay on task. This feature will allow teachers to efficiently distribute files or resources to students, saving time and streamlining the lesson process.
> 
> **Cons**: Some users have reported technical problems with the software, such as slow performance or compatibility issues with specific devices. Some users have raised concerns about privacy issues, as the software allows teachers to monitor students' devices and online activity. Some users have reported that the software can be challenging to set up and manage, especially for users who are not technically savvy. Some users have reported that the software doesn't offer as much customization as they would like and may not be suitable for more advanced users.
> 
> Some business problems that LanSchool aims to solve include: LanSchool helps teachers manage and monitor students' devices and activities during class, reduces distractions, and promotes a more focused learning environment. The software's screen sharing and file distribution features allow teachers to quickly and easily present lessons and distribute resources, saving time and streamlining the learning process.  LanSchool provides teachers with the tools they need to actively engage with students and offer individualized support, which can help improve student engagement and learning outcomes

### "Accountability is a must\!" — 5.0/5

> **Stephen** | *24 September 2019* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I am a teacher and staying abreast and a step ahead of my students' technical abilities is a must. Therefore, I love it how I can monitor my students' screens. There are many features that allow full student accountability.
> 
> **Cons**: I would like to see an app produced for Lanschool Air. I need mobility because I can't be seated at my desktop for all the lessons\!&#10;In addition, students using Google Classroom should not need to be asked for permission to view their desktop. Teachers have a responsibility to ensure that students are compliant with technology policies.
> 
> I have enjoyed its use for quite a few years. Recently we transitioned to Lanschool Air, and I'm excited so far\!
