NetSupport School - Show / Exhibit Student Screen

Summary

NetSupport School allows instructors to share a computer screen to a number of connected students. It is also possible to show an individual student's screen on selected or all students' screens. For example, student 1 has produced some work that the instructor would like to show to other student(s) in the class.
