IT Security Measures
Because they are shared by multiple users, computers in typical labs often have security software installed. This software may limit, trace, or block certain activities, or may quickly restore computers back to their original configurations. Due to the high number of computers in a lab, many lab administrators choose to use remote administration software. Computer labs in schools often have classroom management software installed to manage and control student computer activity from the teacher’s computer, to monitor or prevent web browsing and to remotely control student computers.
The computers are often in a computer network. The computers may also be thin clients.

“I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,
Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and

The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off
work,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
