Internet Monitoring Software for Computers,
Mobile Phones and Networks.
Student Network MonitoringStudents use computers on the school network in classrooms and computer labs. Each student's familiarity varies from first time computer users to high tech wizards. Both ends of the spectrum offer vulnerabilities to the student network and the machines connected to it. It is near impossible and highly impractical for LAN administrators to physically keep an eye on each computer on the student LAN at the same time. Student Network Monitoring software allows network administrators to maintain stability by monitoring each computer on the student network. Student vs. Employee Monitoring
Students have the need for more freedoms when researching various topics, but this doesn't mean that you have to set your student network to be vulnerable. When you install Student Network Monitoring Software to your network, you will be monitoring every activity occurring on the student computers and hold students responsible for their actions. Live Network MonitoringCertain functions of Student Network Monitoring software can be performed live to instantly see the activities of one, some, or all of the student computers in your group. You will be able to keep monitoring students from your desk. Live monitoring also gives you the ability to control computers from your administrative console. You could teach students how to use their computers from your desk by controlling their screen to show them techniques.
Live Student Monitoring allows you to maintain the security of computers on your student LAN and diagnose any problems. Logged Network MonitoringLogged Network Monitoring refers to data that is stored for you to review at any time. This provides you with a record of all activities that you're monitoring so that you can view them at your speed and convenience. You will be able to print up any monitoring report as evidence of a computer's use. Keeping a log of all LAN activity allows you to scrutinize the use of any computer on your student network at your own pace. This ensures that you're monitoring every student. You will be able to understand who did what and why they did it.
Wired vs. Wireless Networks
Wireless systems use radio waves to broadcast monitoring information to and from the various student computers. These waves can be polluted or received by an outsider. Encryption technologies for wireless systems are arguably more secure by allowing only authorized students to connect to the network, but most professional systems prefer a wired system so that they can physically inspect or detach a machine on the student network. The Truth Can Hurt and HelpMonitoring your student network is not a waste of time. If the truth about your network use can negatively affect the network, catching it soon helps the integrity of your network. Students may exchange offensive information. Approaching offenders with problems immediately helps everyone move forward and learn to be more considerate.

Both students and employees use computers connected to a LAN to access the internet and complete projects. The main difference between these two types of users is that students will access a broader range of information for scholastic endeavors.
There is an ongoing debate over whether you should use a wired or a wireless network for monitoring. Wired networks are at least twice as fast as wireless networks, but you are limited by cable for computer location or for the number of computers allowed on your student network with a wired system. Student Network Monitoring software works the same on both platforms.
