We are working on adding a new feature to our Internet content filter to assist teachers and students with digital wellness and focus in the classroom.
These new features allow teachers greater access to send content and give feedback directly to student computers while in the classroom. It also allows teachers to monitor websites that students have open, share and observe their screen, and restrict access for a limited time during their class.
We believe this tool will both help student instruction and feedback while providing support to balance and focus.
We also want to make clear what limitations are in place. These new features are only activated on computers when students are signed into their school account and during the school day.
We plan to work with teachers and make this available for use in our Middle School and High School classrooms over the next several weeks and will be available at the elementary level in limited and guided uses.
