what about teamviewer?
check out screenhero [0] even though they have joined Slack now.

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Too bad they aren't taking new users right now.
I 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.
https://codepen.io does this on their pro plan.

I like CodePen, but I am not teaching this class in JavaScript so I'm looking at more general screen sharers.
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.
