Vision classroom computer management software lets you make the most of your time when integrating technology in the classroom. It gives you the tools you need to control sources of distraction, monitor student computers, get started without lost transition time and notice as soon as someone needs your help.
Ignite interest Communicate directly with your students, screen to screen. Whether you're sharing what's on your screen with the class, demonstrating a new skill or working with someone one-on-one, Vision student management software gives you a variety of ways to bridge the gap between your screen and theirs.
