[Yr7-10it] remote desktop (was chairs etc)

Does Remote Desktop work ok for monitoring screens on the LAN? 

I have used remote desktop for other things but normally for server
access or peer to peer internet access

Just had a yr 7 class and found myself wondering about that - viewing
kids screens on mine 

I know there used to be some relatively expensive / clunky products that
did this - be nice if Remote Desktop was ok for that job 

Can the kids use it to see other screens? - can you configure it to just
be able to see theirs ?

Many thanks to everyone who replied to this, I'm grateful for the
response.  It still didn't clarify what we should do but it did show the
diversity of opinions!  At this stage, we are going ahead with 2
octagonal tables and swivel chairs of some sort.  The octagonal shape
will mean less direct view on student machines but using Remote Desktop,
teachers can easily view all machines on their desktop and the data
projector and maybe a couple of mirrors on the wall....

Fingers crossed our measurements are A1.

Thanks again
