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:
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.

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."

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."

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
