> • If a student single clicks on the green circle icon on their upper right menu bar, they can request help from the teacher. The student can type a question and a small question mark is displayed in the teacher console indicating that student has a question. The question mark goes away when the teacher chats with the student or uses the menu item Clear Student Question. > • If a student right clicks on this icon, it will bring up the student file folder where the Send/Collect files feature sends files. Teacher can use that Send to distribute files to the students/classes. > > ==== Change to Safari (browser) and theirs should match teachers.

 * 1) ** LanSchool is a tool our school uses to help students stay on task in our learning environment. It is intended to be used to allow students to ask for help, have teachers check to see who might need help, help students all get to common internet site and so on. **
 * 1) Teachers like to be able to move around class helping individual students, knowing students are on task. Some teachers use the **Screen Feed** (under View menu) option to project student screens on the white board. Instead of a screen of thumbnails, the student computers appear like a slide show, one at a time and full screen. The teacher can see with a glance from anywhere in the room if someone else needs help.
 * 2) ==== **Co-Browse the Internet**. Teacher or presenter selects students/class. Turns on Co-Browse and then brings up a website on their own machine that is broadcast to all students. A great way to introduce a new site (no typing of long/complicated URLS). It is a jumping-off point for students - they all will start at THIS site for the lesson, etc. Load Class Choose Co-Browse the Internet either with the taskbar icon (far right icon in the pict below) or in the Demonstrate menu. ====
 * 1) ** Limit Web ** Icon- Teachers may create a Block List or an Allow List for student internet access.
 * 2) **Students becoming unavailable:** 1) Students may be turning off their Wi Fi under the wireless icon.[[image:Screen Shot 2013-01-28 at 10.31.35 AM.png]] 2) Students may be switching to the NM-Guest wireless network to avoid being seen on LanSchool. This is not allowed and will result in disciplinary action. A quick glance at the wireless icon can tell you #2 - if it is gray, wireless is off. If bars are full black, wireless is on. Then have them pull down that menu to show what network they are on.. Should be NM-Student.
 * 3) **Showing Video Files.** Go to Demonstrate>Show Video File and select a file to share. LanSchool loads the file and broadcasts it once to the students, checking back immediately to ensure all the data packets arrived. Once all students have the complete video file, you click “Start,” and each student machine plays the video locally.
