PORTLAND, Ore., & LANGENTHAL, Switzerland – April 3, 2007 – The Vision Teach-Pad, an enhancement to GenevaLogic’s Vision® classroom management software™, launched today. Now with push-button control of all classroom computers, teachers will find it even easier to use Vision to teach with technology.

GenevaLogic’s Vision is the first classroom management software to introduce “push-button” access to its most frequently used capabilities. With the touch of a button on the Vision Teach-Pad, teachers share their computer screens with the entire class. Then using another button, they blank all student computer screens and lock the keyboards to secure student attention for a lesson. The Vision Teach-Pad also allows teachers to lock and unlock student Internet access with just the touch of a button.

“Educators tell us that Vision is the single most important software in their classrooms because it allows them to effectively integrate the other available technology tools into instruction,” said Kirk Greiner, chief executive officer, GenevaLogic. “Now with the addition of the Vision Teach-Pad, we know they will find it the easiest to use as well.”
