Classroom management software allows teachers to view and interact with students' computer screens from their own device. It helps teachers keep students focused, control distractions, supervise activity, and assist students individually. Both Netop Vision Mobile and NetSupport School are classroom management programs that enable screen viewing, communication, file distribution, and other features. While NetSupport School has more features overall, both would be beneficial for teachers depending on their specific classroom needs and available technology.
