[OPLINTECH] classroom training consoles

[Bill]

When we use screen monitoring, we use
Screenwatch<http://www.acs-linksystems.com/screenwatch/overview.htm>.
It is the low end of the product line, and doesn't allow screen takeover,
but does allow blanking screens. You didn't ask, but I think the ideal
format of a computer lab is a U-shape, which allows the instructor easily to
see what is on all screens, and to interact with the students with minimal
walking. The setup where every desk faces the front is very difficult to
control and lets the technologically timid hide.  Also, consider putting
your projector in the ceiling. No setup, and no hassle, and minimal risk of
damage, hence longer life expectancy.
