Description

Screen locking will allow you to lock the screens of all or some of the computers in the classroom.  When the screen is locked, the student cannot use the keyboard or mouse.  Also, the screen will be blanked out hiding any content on the screen.  Any open programs or documents will still be open when the stations are unlocked.
