PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: classroom.cloud by NetSupport Provides A 3-in-1 Education Solution
The modern classroom has many advantages, but it also brings with it many distractions. This can lead to disengaged students and frustrated teachers.
classroom.cloud to the rescue!
Backed by 36 years of development expertise, classroom.cloud is built on evidence, impact, and pedagogy approaches, and has been awarded the ISTE Seal. A 3-in-1 software solution, it provides classroom management, IT management, and safeguarding tools. It’s designed to foster a connected, engaging, and adaptable learning environment that equips students with the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
Integrating seamlessly with already-established school platforms such as Microsoft SDS, ClassLink, Clever, and Google Classroom, it makes implementation a breeze and eliminates the need for additional software setups.
Highly respected education organizations have independently evaluated classroom.cloud, including the Education Alliance Finland (EAF), which gave it a phenomenal 94% for its pedagogical approach to instruction.
“It excels in providing teachers with real-time insights into student activity and progress, enabling timely interventions and personalized support,” proclaimed the ISTE Seal Report. “It empowers educators to create engaging and interactive learning experiences.”
Solving Multiple Classroom Challenges
With classroom.cloud, teachers can easily connect to their students via pre-populated class lists and share their screen and audio to help explain lesson activities. During the lesson, they can see the screens of all the students in the class and monitor activity. Setting lists of ‘allowed’ and ‘restricted websites/ applications, muting/unmuting audio on the students’ devices and controlling USB and webcam use helps to keep everyone safe and on task.
Teachers can also remote-control students’ screens, interact with surveys and help requests, and give everyone a voice with chat and messaging tools. Students who are struggling have a direct “lifeline” to their teacher so they can ask questions without being in the spotlight, giving them ownership of their learning.
classroom.cloud’s interactive tools, such as live polls, quizzes, and interactive surveys, provide immediate feedback and help teachers gauge student understanding throughout the lesson. By actively involving students, classroom.cloud facilitates a learning experience that is dynamic, adaptive, and responsive to student needs.
