About LanSchool

LanSchool software is a classroom management platform. It is aimed at schools and educational institutions for classroom-based, remote, and blended learning. It allows teachers to organize class activities, monitor student engagement, and control learning environments.

A screen monitoring feature gives teachers a rapid overview of all students' screens during lessons, along with the battery status. Access to outside resources can be restricted by class leaders, enabling them to retain focus on desired activities. Particular websites can be pushed to all student devices as required. The blank screen directive can be issued to avoid distraction by devices during direct teaching presentations.

LanSchool encourages collaboration. The digital hand-raising and messaging features mirror in-class hand-raising and discussions to improve student-teacher communication. Monitoring systems are included to block malicious or problematic content on student devices to enhance participant safety.

Perfect for schools

All of the teachers at my school use LanSchool to keep students on task, from elementary all the way to high school.

Pros:

This software is exactly what schools need in this day and age. I sometimes give my students assignments on computers, and I recently realized that kids were using online calculators when I wasn't looking in order to solve problems without doing the work. With LanSchool, I can see exactly what each student has on their screen. Even just knowing that I have this ability prevents students from being off task.

Cons:

I found it difficult to set up LanSchool and to create class rosters. However, once you get used to the software it shouldn't be a problem.

Pros and Cons of LanSchool

I would highly recommend LanSchool to any teacher. It's been a game changer in my classroom.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

I absolutely love LanSchool. Teachers don't always have the ability to walk around the room making sure everyone is on task at all times. LanSchool allows me to work with a small group, while still being informed about what my students are doing on their computer. LanSchool provides a pictures of each student's screen allowing me to quickly scroll through to see if everyone is on task. For students that aren't on task, you can message them, push the correct website to their screen, cut off access to any other website that is not the one they're supposed to be on, or pause their screen all together to make an announcement. You can do all of these things individually, or for the whole class.

Cons:

I have no cons for LanSchool. It is a very simplistic website, but it does exactly what I need it to do.

Thank you for sharing your experience with LanSchool!

LANSchool Review

Overall I do not recommend LANschool

Functionality

Pros:

LANSchool is good for a computer lab environment. It's very cut and dry as to what it does and what it is used for.

Cons:

It's just very buggy, some computers show up on the list initially and others require typing in the settings several times for it to take. Also, it was not set up to manage in a centralized location for each computer lab so whenever we would make a network change it was a tedious process to make adjustments in each individual classroom.

Vendor Response

Please engage customersuccess@lanschool.com to schedule an implementation planning call. Let's work together to get make sure that LanSchool is ready for the next school year.

Pros:

I am a teacher and staying abreast and a step ahead of my students' technical abilities is a must. Therefore, I love it how I can monitor my students' screens. There are many features that allow full student accountability.

Cons:

I would like to see an app produced for Lanschool Air. I need mobility because I can't be seated at my desktop for all the lessons! In addition, students using Google Classroom should not need to be asked for permission to view their desktop. Teachers have a responsibility to ensure that students are compliant with technology policies.

Vendor Response

Stephen - Thank you for your review and valuable feedback! We do have a Teacher's Assistant App for iOS - It allows you to walk around the classroom and control your Teacher Console using an iPad. Regarding the issue of students being asked to share their screen, there is a way to set screen sharing to Active Tab and it will not prompt the student. If you would like more information about either of these features, please contact us at customersuccess@lanschool.com.

LanSchool is an adequate Classroom management utility.

LanSchool is a very affordable remote management / classroom management computer utility. It now supports Chromebooks, as well as traditional computers. In the past we have used it on Terminal Services operated labs, and found it invaluable to deploy and launch specific apps / websites at specific times, and to also keep students on task. Coolest thing: Manage 30 identical machines, driving the same mouse and keyboard "virtually," clicking and navigating through an appl that needs to be setup. People usually watch in awe as all the mice move at once. LanSchool is a very affordable package, that every school should at least evaluate.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

LanSchool provides us with a dashboard, multi-screen overview of our students currently using it. It allows out to take control, limit, or launch applications / webpages as we wish.

Cons:

LanSchool is pretty high bandwidth. Large Scale deployments might need some extra network considerations.

Annoying for students, but that's what it's for.

It works well for what it advertises. It should be installed on school devices for middle school and high school age kids as a way to increase productivity. It did for me, and it will probably work for other people.

Pros:

I was once playing a game during a class I was taking, and the administrator 'LanSchooled' my computer. It shut down that tab, and I wasn't allowed to play it or access that tab for 30 minutes. It worked well.

Cons:

There's nothing for students to do to interact with the teachers in these situations. If there were to be a communication aspect to justify why you had that open or a way to communicate with the teacher without making a public scene, that would improve the software immensely.

Vendor Response

Hello John, thank you for the review and the feedback! There is a way for students to ask the teacher a question by clicking on the LanSchool icon (either in the Windows System Tray or the macOS Menu Bar).

We like the features like website white/black lists, USB blocking, etc. Nice that you can setup channels to isolate different physical testing sites.

The organization of machines is not the best I've seen, the quality and speed of the image is no the best either, and only one person at a time can remote into a station, which is annoying if you want assistance from IT personnel.
