Share This
Teachers and students can use remote access software and screen sharing software to interact more efficiently and effectively.
Computers are an integral part of today's classroom. Students of all ages are digital natives, having grown up with computers and other technology.
While they can be a great resource for gathering information and running useful software applications, there’s still more that schools can do to leverage computers to increase engagement between teachers and students.
Fortunately, Splashtop’s full suite of remote desktop and screen sharing tools opens up new possibilities for computers in education.

Screen sharing to the class computer and to student devices
With Mirroring360 by Splashtop, teachers can share the contents of any Windows, Mac, Chromebook, iPad, iPhone, or Android screen to the class Mac or PC. That means teachers can move about the classroom with their device and share its screen to the class computer that’s connected to the projector, giving them the freedom to interact with students while still being in control of the lesson content.
And if the students are also using computers or other devices, teachers can broadcast their screen to up to 40 participants at once with Mirroring360 Pro.
