I believe that if I was a teacher I would support and use this program on a regular basis. As a student I think this is a program that should be used to keep us students from being distracted. I do think that as a student that the teacher should not be allowed to look at what is on our screen for privacy reasons.
As a student I think that this program is not good for us because we don't have our privacy anymore, but I would definitely use this program as a teacher. If I was a teacher this program would be perfect to have the students completely focus on me rather than whatever they are doing on the computer. I could also monitor what they students are looking at and if I feel it is inappropriate then I would be able to report them, for their safety, of course.
I think that the SynchronEyes is a good idea. I think that it will keep students on track and keep their minds off other things such as facebook, myspace, and e-mailing their friends. As a teacher I think that it is very important to be dominant and know what is going on with their students in their class.
The only reason that I would be against this program would be for privacy reasons. Some students do not trust teachers therefore they do not want them looking through their private websites. All in all, I think that this is a good program but it could be a little risky with privacy issues.
I feel that this program is a good device for teachers. Many teachers working in computer labs cannot tell if there students are paying attention. This new software gives those teachers a break. It is not the same as teaching in a classroom and all the focus is on them. They need to keep their students attention and this allows them to do so.
I feel that this new software is good idea because it helps students stay on task. The teachers will have an easier time in gaining the student's attention and there will be more participation in class than expected.
I believe that SynchronEyes is good source of technology for teachers. If I was a teacher I would enjoy using this new technology in order to have my students pay attention in class. It keeps the student to be focused in class and that is what is needed in our education system.
Hello, My name is Jason and I was a former teacher who used SynchronEyes in my labs for my k-6 students. I now work for SMART Technologies, the company who makes SynchronEyes as well as the SMART Board and other interactive products for schools as an Education Consultant. I love the fact you are all talking about SynchronEyes and pondering the uses of it in classrooms. SynchronEyes is first an instructional tool that helps teachers use the computers in their labs or classrooms more effecitvely and with a higher level of confidence. The monitoring side of the program is a valaubale tool that helps that confidence grow and to help students stay engaged in thier learning. If you would like to learn more about the product please do not hesitate to email me at anytime. Jasonnast@smarttech.com Thanks again!
If I were a teacher, I believe this program would be really helpful to ensure that students are actually paying attention to either myself, the teacher, or to whomever is speaking. Being a student, however, Synchron Eyes seems a somewhat evasive. The student no longer has privacy to read e-mails from others in privacy because the teacher can see exactly what the student is looking at.
I personally see nothing wrong with the synchroneyes and i feel that it is a great idea. When you have students sitting in front of a computer screen while a teacher is talking there will always be those people who refuse to pay attention. Now the teacher has a great way to make sure their students are actually paying attention. All in all i think it's a great idea.
I think that the idea to watch over our computers is a good idea for high school students b/c it will keep them on track. For college students they should be given the option to pay attention in class if they want. We should not be forced to pay attention in class like high school students.
If i was a teacher in a computer room i would definitely use synchroneyes! It would allow students to pay attention to what you are saying and they would not be distracted by the computer like playing games.

I think it's a great program for younger students mainly at the high school level, it would have kept me on track at my computer.

I believe that this is good and bad. The good being keeping the students' attention. The bad being preying into personal space and privacy.
