MiniFrame multi-user solutions tested with Netop School6

MiniFrame, a provider of multi-user software solutions has partnered with Netop to validate the functionality of Netop School6 with their virtualization software. MiniFrame's SoftXpand solution uses a unique load balancing, virtualization technique to transform a standard Windows PC into multiple independent workstations. Unlike thin client solutions, SoftXpand does not require proprietary hardware. Each SoftXpand workstation's performance is equal to the original host PC's performance, with SoftXpand supporting every type of application, including multimedia applications, video and flash, and in and out sound; the user experience is identical to that of a standard PC. When combined with Netop Schoolcustomers receive all the benefits of a cost-effective, state-of-the-art, multi-user IT suite, with optimum classroom management facilities.

Netop School6 provides an all-in-one solution for classroom management that includes a comprehensive set of features for teaching with computers.

The two standard modules provided with Netop School are the Teacher module and the Student module. Three additional optional modules are available to support the specialized needs of school environments:

that make extensive use of Terminal Services;
or that require name resolution for dynamically generated IP addresses;
or that make extensive use of mobile computing and desire an easy way to facilitate the connection of students to teachers as they both move from class to class.

Netop School6 standard modules:
Teacher module: installed on the teacher's computer, this module provides the teacher with control of the classroom

Student module: installed on computers in the classroom or lab, this module provides students with a connection to the Teacher module.

Optional modules for use with Netop School6:

Optional hardware: Netop TeachPad Classroom Management Assistant.

The Netop TeachPad puts the essential features of Netop School classroom management at the teacher's fingertips. Teachers can supervise students, demonstrate lessons, control web surfing and blank computer screens with the touch of a button. This one-of-a-kind tool gives teachers push-button control over classroom computers and makes it easy for any educator to teach effectively with technology. More...

Netop Gateway: a module offering routing of Netop traffic across protocols. The Netop Gateway serves as a central point of access across networks and protocols (UDP, http, etc.), e.g. by routing Netop traffic across protocols. Particularly useful in providing flexibility for Terminal Services environments.

Netop Name Server: enables resolution of Netop names even with dynamically allocated IP addresses. Facilitates communication across the Internet.

Netop Class Server: facilitates connections between Teacher and Student modules in environments where computers are moved around while changing subnets. Provides best in class support for one-to-one school computing environments, or for use in any school where extensive numbers of students have laptop computers.

Technical notes

Teachers use Netop School to engage and interact with students

"I use Netop School to create an interactive classroom atmosphere where my students can connect with me and their class better than ever before. The ability to monitor classroom activity while teaching has increased efficiency and the software has really improved demonstrations. I cannot imagine teaching without it."

Kathy Zainea, Lincoln Middle School

Ideal Solution for Lab Management at Washington Country Public Schools

"After struggling with previous complicated and unreliable classroom management systems, we knew we needed a better solution of our district's large student population. Netop School has now been installed in 42 institutions throughout the K-12 school system and reaches a potential student body of 20,000."

"We had problem after problem with our previous system. It was hard to deploy the previous software to different schools and was unreliable. That has all changed with Netop School, it's really easy."

Jimmy Green, Washington Country Public Schools

Learning Enters A New Age At Teignmouth Community College

"I would put Netop School far ahead of interactive whiteboards in terms of teaching effectiveness. Whiteboards still hark back to traditional teaching methods that haven't changed the fundamental teacher-pupil dynamics. Remote tutoring works because pupils can now look at their own screen which creates a far more intimate, responsive learning environment."

"I am very familiar with remote teaching solutions, having worked with them in various roles for seven years now. Netop School showed clear functional advantages over its competitors in terms of reliability."

John Lunn, Head of ICT, Teignmouth Community College.

Netop sets tone for learning environment at Scottsdale Community College

"Netop School has given us a tremendous cost savings over our previous system. Both in terms of times and money saved, the software has been a great success."

"The key benefit is that it sets the tone for the learning environment. "We cannot monitor all distractions within a class, such as cell phones or PDAs, but the software creates an atmosphere which gets the students serious about learning."

Grant Gagnon, Director of College Technology, Scottsdale Community College

Netop School "Thinks like a teacher"

"Being able to see every student's screen on my computer is a boon to me. It has changed my teaching style. Now, I don't have to run around the classroom from computer to computer to keep students involved. I can focus on teaching."

"From a teacher's point of view, this software is very easy to use. It is so intuitive that everyone catches on quickly. Netop School thinks like a teacher."

Steve West, Asheville Middle School

Teachers excited to use latest teaching methods in technology classrooms

"More and more teachers are requesting Netop School installations every day. Teachers will see their colleagues using a blocking feature, or how easy it is for the teacher to demonstrate a particular point and then they will come find me and say, 'Hey, I want that!'"

"The teachers have found that their favorite aspect of Netop School is the quiz feature. They can quickly create a quiz on material the class has just learned and distribute it to each computer in the classroom. Just as easily, they get the quiz back and can grade it."

John Antonacci, Collier Country School District

Direct modeling makes teaching more effective, improves retention

Using Vision, Daniel Gould, a middle school language arts teacher in Whitefish, Mont., has found it easier to teach computer applications to his seventh and eighth-grade students.

"Students understand complex, computer-related instruction much better because it's right in front of them on their own screens. They see it, then they do it," Gould says, adding "Their retention is better, so that amount of time struggling with the program is reduced, and they can get their work done."

Most gratifying is that students seem to better retain information, so there's less re-teaching of computer applications during the school year.

Daniel Gould, Whitefish Public Schools

Inspiring student achievement, reducing failure rates

"Utilizing a classroom management system improves the final grade average in the order of a full grade step, far fewer students fail, and the spread of grades is significantly narrower. In addition, the overall classroom setting improves in terms of behavior and discipline."

Dr. Robert Joyce, Elon University
