4. Installation One teacher workstation, on which the Control Panel is available. The teacher’s computer is also displayed on the large monitors. Each student workstation contains an installation of the student/client software.

5. Boot-up computers and the software launches automatically. The teacher’s Control Panel contains thumbnails showing each student’s screen. Select one or more by marqueeing them or by Shift-clicking. Vision will always connect to the default classroom, and remember classrooms you have recently used so startup is very quick.

6. Home Panel Demo Showcase Student Pointer Show Document Snap Viewer Start Application Stop All Applications/Blank Screen/Block Input/Stop Lock Web/Filter Web Live View/Remote Control

7. Demos Share what is on your screen with the students in your classroom in three different ways: Full-screen takes up the entire student screen and locks their keyboards and mice. Windowed shows your demo in a window on the student computers. Students still have control of their keyboards and mice. Minimized makes your desktop available as a button on the taskbar on the student computers. Students have access to the demonstration but are not required to view it and remain in control of their mouse and keyboard.

8. Showcase Student Instead of sharing what is on your own screen with the entire classroom you can choose a student computer and share that screen instead. The student screen shows on all classroom computers, including the teacher’s, and all other student keyboards and mice are locked.

9. Pointer A wide range of tools are available to highlight various parts of your presentation: Draw attention to areas of your using arrows and other shapes.For example, use Arrow left Highlight an area of your screen using Oval spotlight Magnify or zoom areas of your screen using Oval magnifier or Zoom Hide areas of your screen that student should not be seeing using Cover All tools are conveniently located on a single toolbar: Experiment with them!

10. Show Document Share a document on your teacher computer with the student computers in your classroom. When you share a document, a copy of the document opens on each student computer and the students each have a copy to update and edit. Don’t use this; use DocSharing.

11. Snap Viewer A viewer for your screenshots, taken in the View Panel.

12. Start Application You can start an application or open a specific Web page on selected student computers, for example to demonstrate something or just to help students get started. Select the application you want to share with your class, and you can let students have general access to their computers while they use the application (Normal mode), or you can choose that they should only be allowed to use the application that you start (Kiosk mode). For example, if you start Microsoft Office Word in kiosk mode, students are limited to using only that application. The students see only Microsoft Word on their desktop. They do not have access to other applications: the Start menu is not available; the task bar at the bottom of the screen is locked; and students cannot launch Windows Explorer to search for program executable files. Kiosk mode gives students the tools they need without distractions.

13. The Controlling Block Stop All Applications—stops all running applications on selected student computers. Blank Screen—locks the mouse and keyboard on student computers. When you lock student computers, Vision replaces the student's desktop with a Vision bitmap image that can be customized. Block Input—blocks mouse and keyboard but the screen display does not change. Stop—stops running functions, such as a demo or a remote control session.

14. Lock Web Lock Web—controls student access to the internet so that they stay on task. What the student actually sees

15. Filter Web Filter Web—limits students’ web access to the sites that you define as appropriate to each lesson. Displays the Site List Manager:

16. Site List Manager New Site List—Creates a folder (a list of allowed sites).

17. Site List Manager New Web Shortcut—A URL added to the allowed list Must add:

18. Site List Manager Cut / Copy / Paste / Delete

19. Site List Manager Edit—takes you back to the web shortcut window.

20. Site List Manager Import/Export—Once you’ve built a set of web shortcuts, export them to a USB drive, then import them at the beginning of each class session (if Deep Freeze is enabled on the computer).

21. Site List Manager Preview—shows/hides the Preview Pane.

22. Live View Live View—shows a selected student's computer activity in near real-time. You will not be able to control their mouse and keyboard, but you can lock the student's keyboard and mouse.

23. Remote Control Remote Control—You can take control of a student computer in order to demonstrate a procedure, or to start or close a program for that student. Vision connects to the student computer and opens the Remote Control window, which displays the student's screen. The student does not have access to the mouse or keyboard while you have remote control of the computer, unless you grant the student access.

25. View Thumbnails/Perspective/Details Thumbnails Perspective

26. Classroom Monitor Shows a scrolling view of all computers in the classroom. The classroom monitor views are larger in size than the thumbnail view. Like a security cam, the views switch every few seconds, and you can control the speed of the scroll.

28. Classroom View Block Sort by Label—sort thumbnails alphabetically. Lock Layout—prevent changes to the thumbnail layout.

32. Classroom Block Connect/Disconnect (teacher’s computer) from Classroom Join—add a computer to the classroom Dismiss—remove a computer from the classroom

33. Request Name/Edit Details Request Name—requests students to give their names. This is not necessary in our lab, as when the students log in, they give their name, and this is available under View (panel): Label Type. Edit Details—enables teacher to add a comment to the student’s thumbnail.

34. Lock/Unlock Student Settings By default, students do not have access to changing general Control Panel settings on their own computers. Unlock—to allow students to change their Control Panel settings. Lock—to re-lock Control Panel settings so that they can’t be changed.

35. Shut Down, etc. Shut Down—shuts down selected computers. This is useful at end of the day or when your class no longer needs to use computers. Wake Up—student computers are woken up by a network message. Restart—turns off selected student computers and then they’re automatically turned back on. This can, for example, be useful when you have installed new software or changed computer settings. Log Off—closes down all programs running on the classroom computers and logs off the students who are currently logged on. Computers then display the Windows logon screen and are available for new users to log on.

36. File Panel The File Panel is the least used. IT has already set up the classroom for you.
