Installation
NetOp School consists of two modules: The Teacher module
which is installed on the teacher’s, instructor’s or supervisor’s
computer and the Student module, which is installed on the
computers that need to be part of the interactive classroom.
Insert the NetOp School CD into a CD drive to display the main
installation window on the screen. Select your language version
and follow the on-screen instructions.
The setup wizard guides you through initial setup. Teacher and
Students must use the same Classroom name and the same
communication method (default My Class and TCP/IP).
When you finish the setup wizard the module will finalize
loading with the settings you entered.

The Teacher window is your control center. Here you will find:
Tool Bar
The tool bar contains teaching action buttons. Buttons with
down pointers expand into multiple teaching action commands
(default Button action is marked with asterisks and can be
changed under Options by checking another Radio button).
Views pane
You have eight different Views each serving its purpose. The
default view - Details View - gives you a list of the students
connected to your class. Buttons can be re-organized and the
button at the top decides the default view when Teacher opens.

Teaching.book Page 8 Tuesday, April 11, 2006 3:49 PM
Groups pane
This pane by default displays the All folder containing all
student records. Use Class Setup View to organize your class in
sub-groups. Folders created here will be displayed in the Groups
pane to facilitate selection of students for carrying out desired
teaching actions.
Students that are already loaded and use an identical Class name
(Waiting for My Class) will automatically join the class and
show up in the Student list when the Teacher module is started.

ple is about training l’imparfait in French. Students must
select the right word from a drop-down list to complete a

Students at the top of the question.
