Welcome to
SMART Sync
With SMART Sync, teachers in your school can manage their
classrooms and communicate with and assist students without
leaving their computers.
Using SMART Sync, teachers can monitor and control students’
computers using the Thumbnails view, which displays up-to-the-
moment images of students’ screens. Teachers can customize the
appearance of this view. In addition to viewing the thumbnails,
teachers can do the following:
• Capture snapshots of a student’s screen
• Take control of a student’s computer
• Place a temporary lock on students’ computers
• Remotely shut down students’ computers
• Allow or block Internet access
• Allow or block the use of specific applications
Teachers can also use SMART Sync to communicate with their
entire class, a group of students or an individual student. Teachers
can broadcast their desktops, conduct polls, send messages to
students and receive replies, send files to students and more.
This guide is for teacher or administrators who are responsible for
installing SMART Sync at their schools using the CD.
