school network -- view what students do on their computers
Hi!
I'm teaching IT at a school - and of course I'm teaching on Linux. I thought it would be nice to have a tool that enables me to see on my screen what the students are doing on their machines, i. e. what they are actually typing... Not like top or ps, but something that makes me view what actually goes on on their screen. I don't know about such an app, has someone out there some experience with that? Thanks! -- Michael r-znvy: zvpunry.wryqra jro.qr (chg gur "@" jurer vg svgf...) ab fcnz cyrnfr

Hi there! Soprry for not replying sooner, but I was w/o internet for some days. It's only for the school teaching purposes, sure. The other problem I'm facing is the install - I need to have a double boot W2k and Linux - on 27 machines. I can't figure out a script that could automate that, on a DVD for examlpe. Naqyway, TightVNC looks pretty like what I've been looking for! Thanks! -- Michael r-znvy: zvpunry.wryqra jro.qr (chg gur "@" jurer vg svgf...) ab fcnz cyrnfr

Instead of installing on several computers, why not install on one and then clone to the others? -- (This space intentionally left blank)

Document the process and have the students, set up their box, you have them hollar when the output of command does not match paper. :) They learn how to follow instructions, you get the boxes setup.

How often have you said "RTFM!!!!" in your life?!?? A nice idea would be to "clone tha machines", as James Knott stated. I had that idea, too. The problem is ... how?!?? James, if you have an instruction - I promise to RTFM... ;-) Best, -- Michael r-znvy: zvpunry.wryqra jro.qr (chg gur "@" jurer vg svgf...) ab fcnz cyrnfr
