Planning an installation

For a teacher to be able to monitor and interact with their students using Google Chromebooks, the NetSupport Connectivity Server must be installed on a Windows Server; the NetSupport School Tutor must be installed on the teacher's machine*; and the NetSupport School Student extension installed onto each of the students' Chromebooks.

* In mixed-platform classrooms, the NetSupport School Windows Tutor application can also connect to student Chromebooks.

Organisations that use "Google Apps for Domains" can centrally manage their NetSupport School settings from within the Google Admin Console, including:

• The ability to force-install the NetSupport School Student extension.

• Export your Student configuration settings as a policy template for use globally on all other student devices.

• Configure and deploy the Tutor settings (Connectivity Server/Gateway address, port, gateway security key and licence details) to the required users from within the Google Admin Console.
