Screen Monitoring
With LanSchool Air, teachers can monitor student screens in real-time by viewing a thumbnail grid of all students' desktops, allowing them to see what students are doing on their computers during class, which is particularly useful for ensuring students stay on task and preventing distractions; teachers can also zoom into a specific student's screen for a closer look if needed.
Limiting Students to Designated Websites

Blanking Screens for Attention
Blanking Screens for Attention
"Blanking screens with LanSchool Air" refers to the feature within the classroom management software LanSchool Air that allows a teacher to instantly blank the screens of all or selected students' devices, effectively capturing their attention by removing access to their screens with a single click, typically used to redirect focus back to the teacher during instruction.
Pushing Out Websites
Pushing Out Websites
"Pushing out URLs with LanSchool Air" means using the LanSchool Air software to send a specific website link to all students in a class, effectively opening that webpage on every student's device simultaneously, allowing the teacher to quickly direct everyone to the same site for a lesson or activity.

On-Task Monitoring is a new tool inside of LanSchool Air that’s designed to revolutionize the way you run your classroom.

How to End a Class
How to End a Class
To end a class, select Exit Class on the Class Toolbar. Ending a class session will turn off any website restrictions the instructor may have had enforced.
Disabling Class Chat
Disabling Class Chat
To disable class chat in LanSchool Air, open the messaging sidebar, navigate to the "View Actions" menu at the bottom right corner, and select "Disable Chat for all" - this will prevent students from sending messages to the teacher within the class.
In LanSchool Air, students cannot chat with each other directly; they can only send messages to the teacher, meaning all communication through the messaging feature is between the teacher and individual students or the whole class.
