Hapara's Class View is very similar to Current Screens, with some great new features.  Something of great interest is the ability to schedule reoccurring Guided Browsing sessions.  The Class View tab allows you to set up a Focus (only listed sites are allowed) or a Blocked (allow everything except the listed sites); a reoccurring session can be set up by clicking Schedule and then completing the form, including ticking the Repeat This Session box.  Once the box is ticked, the user has the option of selecting the days of the week to re-run the session.

Teacher planning is an essential piece of the education puzzle, but why does it remain such an enigma?  

Planning is an important executive function for every profession, but for teachers, it remains essential.  Benjamin Franklin is credited with stating that "Failure to plan is planning for failure," and seasoned administrators will almost universally agree that teachers who enter a classroom with a plan recognize success.  to take these sentiments a bit further, teachers who plan for deep learning recognize deep learning as an outcome.
