I just ran across this neat little tool: Tiffany Screens — it allows you to share your computer screen with other computers on your network. This is similar to the share screen feature that some of you may have used in the Network Admin software in a Mac (or PC) lab.
I used the “share screen” feature constantly in my lab as I walked my students through procedures or techniques in the graphics and animation software that they were learning. However, I was only using one platform in my lab (Apple). Our PC labs did not have software on them that allowed the teachers in those labs to do the same thing that I was doing.
Tiffany Screens is available for BOTH platforms — and I think, from what I can read about it, that it will allow you to share your screen with others even if they are using a different paltform. Just one note on technical requirements: you must be using either Windows XP-sp2 or OS 10.4
If anyone has used it, please share your experience with it. I’m going to load it onto the two laptops in my office right now (one Compaq and an Apple Powerbook) and then test it. I’ll post my thoughts after testing later today.
