Using Screen Snapshot
Overview
Save a snapshot of a single student's entire screen as a standard image file. The date, time and student login name are included as part of the image's filename. This is a great way to save an example of student work or get a record of inappropriate behavior such as cyber bullying.
Here is a quick video demonstrating how to use the snapshot feature:
How To Save a Snapshot
- Select a student computer from the LanSchool Teacher Console.
- Click the "Snapshot" button from the toolbar.
- Choose a location on your computer to save the image file.
The file name will be formatted as [Login Name] ( [Machine Name] ) ( [Date] _ [Time] ).jpg
Keystroke Alerts / Banned Words List / eSafety
To configure Keystroke Alerts, select the Administer menu and then Preferences. Then select the Keystroke Alerts tab.
By default, when a student types one of the "Banned Words" a Screenshot of the student's screen will automatically be saved.
Keystroke Alerts also show up in the Report Server via the "eSafety" section.
