Bringing classroom management to the cloud
With schools everywhere quickly learning to adapt to distance learning in 2020, many educators are now beginning to realise the importance of putting a powerful, easy to use all in one Cloud-based Classroom Management Solution in place.
LanSchool Air masterfully brings LanSchool’s renowned classroom orchestration software to the cloud, making it the perfect tool for distance learning, assisting educators in ensuring students are focused and fully engaged in online classes when working remotely.
Recent studies suggest the biggest challenge facing teachers and students in remote learning is a lack of engagement. Being away from the classroom increases the risk of distractions, a failure to communicate effectively and less focus on tending to the individual needs of students.
LanSchool Air has an assortment of incredible features developed solely to combat these obstacles.

What our customers say
![LanSchool]( "LanSchool")
LanSchool virtually overnight revolutionised my classroom experience. Gone are the days of students doing their own thing on their PCs during my lessons, now I stream my slide presentations and demos directly to each PC, so they can all see things clearly in front of them and cannot get distracted from class activities. In addition to that, during every lesson I can see what every student is up to, regardless of where they sit, which allows me to give help as soon as it is needed. Plus they absolutely revel in getting personal messages from their teacher. I also find LanSchool so useful in showing one student’s screen to the rest of the class when sharing particularly good pieces of work.
