The teacher can organize the thumbnail images into groups. This allows the teacher to monitor and

interact with students in groupings that reflect the structure of the class (for example, Team A,

Team B and Team C, or Remedial Students, Mainstream Students and Honors Students).

With SMART Sync Teacher software, the teacher can also view a student’s desktop in Window or

Full Screen mode, take a screen capture of the student’s desktop, take control of the student’s

desktop, block or allow Internet access, and so on.
