Ask HN: Best tool for a programming class to share screens?
I am about to teach a small class in creative programming (5-10 people).
I am considering having the whole class connected to screen sharing software so that I could view any student's screen at any time from my own computer.
This would let student presentations happen more quickly, let me view their code more easily for discussions, and it would discourage them from Facebooking during class.
Any suggestions? Skype and Google Hangouts are the clear options so far, but I worry about quality and I wonder if there are programs specifically for this situation.

- scribscrob 11y agoI use it in my class with my project mates. You can only have one person working at a time otherwise it's a disaster, but as far as "over the shoulder" programming it works very very well.
