Highlight key points

Do you use a yellow highlighter on your documents? Imagine being able to use one on your computer screen! Pointer allows you to emphasize key words and important phrases.

Use Pointer across platforms

Pointer works in any application or software program you do. Highlight and make notes in documents, graphics or presentations on your screen exactly as you would on paper.

Focus attention

Use Pointer's zoom and spotlight tools to focus attention exactly where you want it, eliminate confusion by numbering steps in a complicated process and enlarge text as needed.

Customize Pointer's toolbar

Pointer's floating toolbar moves and docks to any part of the screen so it's never in the way and you can navigate effortlessly. The customizable toolbar contains all the tools you'll need to guide your audience.

Take students through tasks step by step

The Pointer numbering tool is used to number steps in a complicated process, or simply show students the order in which you want them to complete a task.

Cover quiz answers

You want to share your screen with the class, but you don't want them to see the whole screen? No problem. With Pointer's cover tool, small bars appear on all four sides of your screen. Simply click and drag each bar down so you can share only what you'd like to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can I use the same Netop TeachPad with either Netop School or Vision classroom management software?
A. Yes, the same TeachPad will work with both Netop School and Vision classroom management software.

Q. Can I use the Netop TeachPad with Netop's MyVision classroom management software?
A. No, at this time the TeachPad does not support MyVision.

Q. Why do some Netop TeachPads have a button labeled "Surf-Lock", and some have a button labeled "Lock Web"?
A.  Surf-Lock is a term that was uniquely associated with Vision6. Now that the TeachPad supports both Vision and School, Netop is switching to the more general term Lock Web.  All versions of the TeachPad work identically, and there is no difference in the devices other than the label on the key.
