Teachers who would like to have LanSchool installed on their computer should enter a technology work order.
In a perfect world, students would always do exactly what is expected when using the computer. Unfortunately that is not always the case. LanSchool is a program that can be installed on teacher computers that allows them to see students activity on the computer while at school and connected to wifi.
