In these high-tech days it's tougher getting and keeping the kids' attention. Any "fun" which could be brought to their lessons makes the teacher's job easier. Eager and interested students are far easier to teach! |

One of the most difficult aspects of the increase in technology is not learning new technologies for incorporating it into instruction, but for maintaining control of the student usage of the computer while in the classroom. It is one of the greatest technological obstacles facing teachers in our district. |

It is difficult to get to all students that I need to help. Most of my students are at risk and I feel guilty that I am unable to reach and help all of the students when I need to. Some are even too shy to ask for help, I want to be a better and more effective teacher to help level the future playing field for all my students. |

It is very difficult to move around and check to see if students are at the right page/point and we have a wide range of computer abilities. XCLASS would enable us to challenge those students who could advance, yet check their progress and develop clear objectives to monitor/ chart objective for each students and class |

Students must learn to work independently and they need to be able to develop their creativity with some degree of privacy. At the same time it is essential that we teachers monitor student activities without being invasive and that we know when a student is in need of additional instruction |

In a multimedia environment, it is important to be able to present information in a way that each student has a front row seat |

How exciting it would be to be able to monitor and assists those students who are too shy or embarrassed to ask for help! The equipment in the lab is so expensive and this tool truly is the key to fully utilizing it. |

XCLASS would be the extreme benefit to the lab teacher when working with children to assume all students are on task and have not strayed to the "forbidden zones" and to recognize when a student needs help but is not asking for it--the little ones can be rather shy! |

I feel that students need constant feedback in their work without feeling like they are being targeted. With this program I can call on a student discretely and assist them in moving towards to right direction. |

My vision for this multimedia station would be as a literacy lab, because reading is everything! Computers are a marvelous way to teach reading with individualized programs that allow new literacy to be taught in a more powerful, more expressive and more inclusive ways than print-literacy. |

¡Ka good way for students to see the actual work on their own screens rather than looking at projected images. |

To be able to watch my students with this software would be like providing me with 24 pairs of eyes to help. It would be the end to the nightmare and a beginning to the dream of students learning and staying on task. |

This tool would assist teachers needing to share video clips, screen shots, and how to's. It would also provide a management tool for monitoring students while they work in poorly designed seating arrangements. |

Too many educators are intimidated by the complexity of technology; but, I see the XCLASS program removing "techno-phobia" from our school. |
