As the teacher, you can use SMART Sync to monitor, communicate with and control
your class. You can also allow colleagues limited access to SMART Sync so that they
can monitor your class. SMART Sync refers to these additional teachers as teacher
aides. They can access the thumbnail view and monitor the whole class, a group or an
individual student. However, teacher aides can monitor your class only if you permit it.
You have total control over who can access your class.
At any time, you can view which teacher aides have joined your class. You can also
withdraw a teacher aide’s access to your class.
Controlling Teacher Aides
You can allow up to five teacher aides at a time.
Teacher aides can monitor classes, groups and students, but they can’t use the more
advanced features of SMART Sync, such as taking control of a student’s desktop,
locking out students, blocking applications and Internet access, and so on.
Allowing Teacher Aides
If you think you might accept a join request from a teacher aide, select Options > Allow
Teacher Aides. This activates the teacher aides feature, but you can still prevent
specific teacher aides from joining your class by declining their request to join.
