Surf-Lock Gives Teachers Instant Control Over Student Internet Access And Web Browsing
Makes Guiding Student Web Surfing Effortless Surf-Lock plugs into Vision6 Classroom Management Software, the easiest and most effective way to teach with computers. Using Vision6, teachers can supervise student computer use and monitor online activity. Surf-Lock adds the capability to instantly control student web access and guide web browsing. The teacher decides when to allow internet access, and when to turn it off, for one student or the entire class. Surf-Lock also lets teachers choose which web sites are appropriate for a particular assignment, guide students to those sites and block out all the rest.
