When you talk classroom management software, you're talking Vision. Teachers across the globe rely on it, and why? Because it's easy to use, even for a first-time user, it's been proven to improve student achievement, and it makes integrating technology in the classroom more intuitive - with a clean, simple toolbar that puts a rich variety of powerful tools in your hands.
Supervise students' work
View an expandable thumbnail image of each student's screen on your computer, so you can follow their activities from your desk in real time.
Control students' Internet use
Select which websites your class can view. Want to restrict sites, too? Vision Pro lets you customize every aspect of your students' Internet access.
Showcase students' screens
Display what one student is doing on other students' computers: an excellent way to hold student demonstrations, presentations and spotlighting.
Operate computers remotely
Operate your students' computers without having to leave your desk. Help a student through a problem screen-to-screen, the moment you're needed.
Blank student screens
Make classroom screens go blank in a click, locking students' keyboards and mice. Capture attention and stop all activity the instant you need to.
Remote shutdown & wake-up
Start, restart or turn off all the computers in your class (or just the ones you select) at one time, from your desk, saving valuable preparation time.
Push-button control pad
TeachPad is a five-button control pad that plugs into your computer's USB port, letting you operate Vision's core features with the push of a button.
Chat with students
Send and receive instant messages with a student, a group or the whole class, screen-to-screen. Communicate discreetly without disturbing others.
Manage from your mobile

Remote login
In single sign-in environments such as your library or computer lab, Vision Pro lets you sign in or out of multiple computers, all at the same time.
Launch applications
Open a file, application or website remotely, in one move, for the whole class at once: simultaneous application launch saves a lot of class time.
Kiosk applications
Working in Kiosk mode, your students can't exit the applications you've launched, open anything else, access the desktop or restart their computers.
Share files between computers
Send documents, collect tests and distribute assignments in your classroom instantaneously, without having to pass out any papers.
