NetSupport School is classroom-management and student-monitoring software for teaching, device management, and assessment.
What NetSupport School is
NetSupport School is classroom-management and student-monitoring software for teaching, device management, and assessment. Teachers can view student screens, applications, websites, typing, and collaboration in adjustable thumbnails, then remotely control screens or blank and lock selected devices. For lessons, teachers can share screens, applications, presentations, videos, and websites with annotation tools. File transfer lets teachers send files and folders to students and collect work from them. The software also includes web filtering, device controls, and behavior tracking. It supports mixed-platform classes across Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Android, and iOS. SIS mode integrates with ClassLink OneRoster and Google Classroom, but requires the NetSupport Connectivity Server on Windows Server. Its 30-day trial includes all features, supports up to 40 devices, and requires no credit card. Pricing is available on request, with device-based licensing and buy-once options. A 100-machine deployment requires a 100-user licence even when loaded from a server; pricing includes weekday support and online training.
