Software that allows others to log on and view your screen as you work??

I am an instructor and want to allow students to log onto my screen as I go through their online assignments and (as I) comment on them (I use the comment function of MS word for this). I want to set up a running blog- or chat-style commentary on one side of the screen for students, and/or me, to also use. I want to allow them to see my screen, a la NetOP, but not have access to my files or the ability to operate my computer (NetOP allows full control). Basically, I want them to have screenshots that update rapidly in real-time, plus the chat-style session on one side… they’ll probably have to log in using my IP address. What software can make this happen?

I can’t think of a software that will provide what you are looking for. However - you could even do something a little less complicated. You could purchase a webcam and focus it on your computer screen. That way, the view is of your actual screen while you are making these changes. There is a website, that allows people to view a webcam and also enter a chat feed for the webcam. In order to view the webcam you do not need to become a registered member on the site, but people will need to register to participate in the chat. I hope this helps!
