LanSchool

LanSchool is the fiercely respected, heavily entrenched "Old Guard" veteran of the classroom management space, recently supercharged after being acquired by the massive hardware titan Lenovo. Long before Chromebooks existed, LanSchool was the absolute standard for managing massive, traditional Windows desktop computer labs in high schools and universities. Its signature feature is its "Rock-Solid Multi-Platform Stability." While GoGuardian is famous for Chromebooks, LanSchool is mathematically engineered to dominate mixed environments. If a high school has a Mac lab for graphic design, a Windows lab for programming, and Chromebook carts for English class, LanSchool's single dashboard manages all three operating systems flawlessly. Because it was originally built for complex desktop environments, its "Broadcast and Blank" features are legendary. A teacher teaching complex Photoshop can click "Show Screen," which physically broadcasts the teacher's desktop to all 30 student monitors, completely overriding their mice and keyboards. When the teacher wants them to pay attention to the whiteboard, they click "Blank Screens," instantly turning all 30 monitors black with a message saying "Eyes up front."
