According to Khristian Macías, Headmaster of the Zürich Schule, an international school in Barcelona, NetSupport School was; “The best software purchase we've ever made for our computer lab."

Long time users of the product, it was good to see that Zürich Schule are still benefitting from improved computer led classes when we recently spoke to Señor Macías.

Firstly, Señor Macías looked back at the issues the school faced; "We found ourselves, like many other schools, up against the challenge of taking advantage of the use of computers without falling into the various problems and distractions that arise with their use."

“My motive for acquiring classroom control software was that every day we were wasting a lot of time during the classes because the students were constantly messing around with the different social programs that exist on the Internet. As a result of the use of programs like Facebook, MySpace, Messenger, etc, there came a moment where we had to literally switch off all the computers to be able to explain anything to the students, and then try to get the students to follow along with the class without being able to use the computers.”

"With the purchase of NetSupport School in September 2007 we achieved radical changes in the computer lab. Now with NetSupport School installed on their computers the teachers have enjoyed almost 3 years dedicating more time to teaching and less time policing the students."

“Several parents have heard from their children that we are monitoring the computer use in the classrooms. The parents are most interested in the idea of Internet filters, and with NSS, of course, we have that covered since the filtering system is both very simple and above all very effective.”

"The students are also excited about the interaction with teachers made possible by NetSupport School. In particular, the instant surveys stand out."

"Another advantage of NetSupport School is its ease of use. “The program is totally intuitive. The icons speak for themselves! It's not necessary by any means to be an IT expert in order to have complete control over the classroom."

It's clear that NetSupport School has greatly improved the computer lab experience, both for the teachers as well as for the students of the Zürich Schule, and thanks to the support they received from NetSupport's local partner in the region, TotemGuard, they have been able to achieve these changes easily.

"With the support of TotemGuard the process of evaluating, buying and implementing the software was incredibly easy."
