Locking Student Desktops

You can get the attention of your class, a group or an individual student by temporarily

locking their mouse devices, keyboards and desktops and presenting them with a simple

message.

The default message is “Eyes to the front, please.” However, you can customize this

message (see Setting the Lock-Out Message on page 87).

When you lock students’ computers, you don’t delete any of their work. When you

remove the lock, the students’ desktop views and control are completely restored.

N O T E

If a student’s computer disconnects from your computer while the student’s

desktop is locked, “No Response” appears over the thumbnail. When the

student’s computer reconnects, the message disappears and the student’s

desktop is locked again.

To lock student desktops

1. Click Thumbnails
