Customer reviews


SMART Sync keeps the students focused on the task at hand, and allows me to communicate with individuals in a way that doesn't disrupt the rest of the class.Alan Cooke, Associate Professor of Marketing
University of Florida, Gainesville, FL


The software works very well. It's easy to deploy. My users like it and even PhD’s can operate it!Bart Cohen, Director, Technology Services
University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR


SMART Sync has been most helpful in keeping my students focused on the task at hand. They are excited to have their work (screen) broadcast, reviewed and enjoyed by the other students.Bob Krieger, Technology Director
Stuart Hall School for Boys, New Orleans, LA


With SMART Sync my teaching has become 100% more productive, and I am more confident about letting my students use the computers to their potential.Candi Rivera, Library Media Specialist
Lincoln Ave Elementary School, Orange, NJ


Distraction has been cut in half when students are using the computer. I no longer have to worry about constantly walking around and "catching" students on the wrong website. Now, it is obvious.Christia Gugel, English Teacher
Ste. Genevieve R-II School District, Ste. Genevieve, MO


Complete control of the students' computers serves as an invaluable tool in my teaching. The ability to expedite lessons through the use of the Send Web function and to lock all screens adds so much to both my and the students’ experience.Dan Menges, Computer Technology Teacher
The Empowerment Academy, Baltimore, MD


I find the software extremely useful. I have used it to send web sites, transfer and receive files, and observe what my students are doing. I have also used the broadcast feature to demonstrate software programs for the class. It has been an invaluable addition to our computer lab.Denise Olsen, Computer Teacher
St. Clare School, Staten Island, NY


I've run my classroom with and without SMART Sync. It has made a huge difference in my ability to manage what my students are doing, as well as delivering lessons. You would have to be crazy to not use this software!Francis Kittredge, Keyboarding/Computer Technology
Madison Middle School, Albuquerque, NM


I love the broadcast feature, which allows me to ensure that the students are seeing what I want them to see on their own monitors while I am explaining.Gaye McConnell, Computer/Technology Teacher
Elizabeth Ballantyne, Montreal West, Quebec


Before SMART Sync I used to do everything manually. I LOVE being able to show individual student’s work to the whole class. Now I can do it quickly and efficiently. Also, there are things I can do now which I could NOT attempt without the software, such as launching applications quickly, receiving files, gathering feedback electronically. SMART Sync changed the way I teach. I cannot even imagine teaching without it ever again, EVER.Jim Konugres, Technology Trainer/Teacher
San Marcos Unified School District, San Marcos, CA


I use the program every day. My students love it. I love it. SMART Sync saves me time and makes learning easier and more fun!Jean Lindholm, Teacher
Good Shepherd School, Camp Hill, PA


SMART Sync is an extremely valuable tool, both for classroom management and instructional purposes. It has made my job much easier since we started using it. Also with SMART Sync every student in class has “the best seat in the house." Most of our computer labs are not designed for students to optimally view a projector. Being able to broadcast to all student screens has vastly improved student understanding of the presented material.John Rothauser, Media Specialist
Holmdel Township Public School District, Holmdel, NJ


As an elementary teacher it is so much simpler to get all the children at the same place at the same time.Kim Hardin, Elementary Teacher
Valley Heights Schools, Blue Rapids, KS


SMART Sync is GREAT. It allows teachers to monitor what students are doing, broadcast their screen to the whole class and chat with students. I also really like the ability to push out files and URLs to student workstations. It is the most effective classroom management tool I have ever used!Mark Grashel, Technology Coordinator
Huntington Local School District, Chillicothe, OH


With SMART Sync we can send the teacher's screen to the students so that they can focus on the monitor in front of them rather than strain to see us point to the projected image.Robert Dugan, Library Director
Sawyer Library, Suffolk University, Boston, MA


I love how with SMART Sync I can quickly get my students’ attention. Also, it is great to be able to help a student without having to climb over everyone in the row.Teresa Coles, Grade 3 Classroom Teacher
Highlands Elementary, Boise, ID


I use SMART Sync every day for most of my classes. The software is dependable and does what it advertizes. Technical support has also been excellent. I have recommended SMART Sync to a large number of teachers and school districts. I have given several presentations on the software and its advantages. I have used it in my classroom for about 6 years and have convinced administration to purchase it for our other two labs.Theresa Taylor, High school business teacher
Cape Central High School, Cape Girardeau, MO


Being able to view the desktops of each individual student enables me to quickly assess how well they are learning and identify students needing more attention.Bonnie Cooper, Instructional Technologies Training Specialist
The University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, MS


This software allows me to know where my students are going and what they are doing without having to look over their shoulders.Brenda Gordon, Library Media Specialist
Lamar County High, Vernon, AL


SMART Sync makes managing a class in the computer lab much easier. Before SMART Sync, students wasted a lot of time surfing the Internet and getting e-mail. Now they focus on their schoolwork.Carol Horner, Director of Technology
Wesleyan School, Norcross, GA


SMART Sync has enabled me to work much more efficiently in my computer lab. I work with students in grades K-8 and I could not manage without it at this point!Carolyn Stangle, Art & Technology Instructor
Sacred Heart School, Taftville, CT


I absolutely love the software. It's easy to learn and easy to use. Charlotte Satterlee, A+ Lab Teacher
Midland High School, Midland, TX


SMART Sync increases my students’ focus on and understanding of what I'm teaching.Craig Kleinman, English Professor and Lab Coordinator
City College of San Francisco, San Francisco, CA


SMART Sync has provided time for me, the librarian, to tend to tasks other than monitoring behavior. Just knowing that the software is running prohibits most students from viewing inappropriate websites. It only takes a second for me to stop a task to view student thumbnails. I, therefore, do not have to leave my office HUNDREDS of times each day to monitor. Students know they are being watched and behave accordingly.Cynthia Whitlock, Library Media Specialist
Demopolis High School Library, Demopolis, AL


SMART Sync gives me the ability to focus on instruction and student productivity rather than on classroom management. It's a great way to monitor and guide a whole class of students without breathing down their necks.Debra Jones, English Teacher
Branson R-IV Schools, Branson, MO


The software helps me manage class time more effectively.Felipe Barrera, Technology Support Teacher
Cromack Elementary - Brownsville ISD, Brownsville, TX


SMART Sync has made it easier to give the staff the equipment and tools needed to assist the students in learning. Also, it eliminates distractions and keeps students focused for the whole class.Gary Platt, PLTW
Carroll High School, Fort Wayne, IN


We all love the control SMART Sync gives us to keep instruction moving in the direction we would like. SMART Sync has made class time so much more productive for both the students and the teacher.Jane Storts, Library Media Specialist
Whitman Middle School, Wauwatosa, WI


SMART Sync enables me to monitor students’ activities and perform routine tasks in minimal time.Jeannie Reed, Instructional Technology Coordinator
New Caney ISD, New Caney, TX


SMART Sync has become an invaluable tool for my class. I can monitor students and restrict programs with a single click. The Observe and Control features allow me to quickly and easily answer simple questions - as well as demonstrate mistakes. The greatest benefit of SMART Sync is not needing to constantly walk around the room to keep an eye on the students; being able to spend less time observing and more time helping and teaching is a great improvement.Jeffrey Stone, System Administrator / Computer Teacher
Notre Dame High School, Fairfield, CT


I am extremely satisfied with the SMART Sync program. It is a lifesaver in my computer classroom. I can do everything from my computer. I particularly like the Broadcast feature so I can demonstrate what I want the students to accomplish, the Lock Out to keep them from starting without permission and the Internet block to keep them from going where I don't want them to go. I can also log off or shut down my entire lab with a couple of mouse clicks, which is a great time saver.Jon Lehman, Computer Teacher
Hope Christian School, Albuquerque, NM


I like being able to show the other students in the class someone's work that is done correctly. They enjoy seeing their work projected on the other students' screens.Kathye Blackburn, MOS Master Instructor
Bossier Parish Technical School, Shreveport, LA


I have used SMART Sync for almost 7 years and love it! It has made teaching middle school and high school business technologies courses so much easier. The parents love it, students hate it, and teachers really love it!Kristy Christenberry, Career Development Coordinator
Northside High School, Pinetown, NC


The single greatest benefit I have personally experienced as a result of using SMART Sync is my ability to keep students on task within a collaborative learning environment.Linda Martin, Technology Facilitator
Seneca Valley Intermediate High School, Harmony, PA


SMART Sync is very user friendly and very useful for monitoring independent practice in the classroom.Lisa Tolliver, Technology Integrationist
Wagner Community School, Wagner, SD

St Anthony School of Padua, Clarksville, IN


Students are on task when they know I have SMART Sync on, which means more learning is taking place!Mary Beth Duff, CSISD Technology Integration Specialist
College Station ISD, College Station, TX


SMART Sync has saved our department countless hours of support and installation time by allowing us to transfer installation files to student computers. We utilized SMART Sync to deploy Microsoft Office 2007 to our student lab computers. This saved us on average about two hours per computer.Mike Rountree, Director of Information Technology
East Georgia College, Swainsboro, GA


The software gives me the ability to have eyes on all students’ computers at all times. This allows me to easily identify students that need more direct assistance and help them faster.Richard Hendricks, Computer Special Teacher
East Hampton Middle School, East Hampton, CT


I use the student/teacher interaction via the chat feature as a training tool for when the students enter the working world. It prepares them for newer and emerging technologies in office communication while in the classroom setting.Robin Nichols, Business Education Teacher
Bossier High School, Bossier City, LA


I have integrated my entire technology curriculum around the SMART Sync lab management software. It is the best lab management tool I have ever used! With this software I'm able to spend my time interacting and teaching the students instead of spending the bulk of the class just getting students ready to start working.Ryan Schrader, K-4 Elementary Technology Teacher
Troy Area School District, Troy, PA


I love this software. It has revolutionized my classroom from teaching to management. I have already recommended this software to several other computer teachers! SMART Sync allows me to lock students’ computers and gain their full attention when teaching concepts. This has made such a difference in all areas of class, from impact on student learning to my own sanity!Stacey Fike, Computer Applications Teacher
Irving Middle School, Norman, OK


The greatest benefit I have experienced as a result of using SMART Sync is the ability to keep my students focused, on task and actively engaged in the learning that takes place in my classroom.Terri Norman, Computer Technology Teacher/Technology Coordinator
