At today's World Language department meeting, I shared my last "tech tip of the month" with my colleagues. In the Digital Communications class that I am currently taking, I was introduced to a pretty awesome website, www.join.me, which allows people to "share" computer screens. I thought this would be a great way for teachers to manage students and their computer use in the classroom.
There is a free version and a pro version (costs $13/month) that allow either up to 10 computers or up to 250 computers to "share" the same screen. What this means is students can "share" the teacher's screen to watch what they do or a teacher can "share" a student's screen to make sure they are visiting appropriate websites or staying on task with the assignment.
I haven't been able to use it in my classroom yet, but think it'd be pretty neat!
