LightSpeed Classroom Management

5

Overview

Overview

Lightspeed Classroom is a cloud classroom-management system that gives teachers real-time visibility into student activity on Chromebooks, Windows, and Mac devices. Teachers can view screens and open tabs, identify off-task browsing, restrict web access, close tabs, lock screens, and send links or messages without interrupting instruction.

A live session connects a teacher with the current class and its managed devices. Rosters and device assignments help classroom controls reach the intended learners during instruction. The instructional session has a narrower purpose than whole-device administration. Teachers and IT staff coordinate class access and the controls appropriate to the lesson.

Learning Management System Connectivity

Select a connector to see every product that supports it.

When teachers use Lightspeed Classroom Management™  it allows them to keep their students logged in, participating, and focused both in-person or at a distance. Advanced AI technology gives teachers real-time visibility and control of their students’ digital workspaces and online activity.  Educators can safely message a distracted student, redirect their browser, close windows and tabs, and enable screen sharing for collaboration between students.

Hierarchical permissions allow district administrators to set restrictions and give teachers the ability to establish further online boundaries for their students. With Lightspeed Classroom Management, educators and administrators are alerted to unusual or inappropriate online activity and can record live browsing behaviors for more productive interventions.

Effective, equitable learning 
Lightspeed Classroom Management gives students access to an effective and equitable learning environment. Students can access instructional materials inside the classroom or outside the classroom for remote learning. There is a hand raising feature that allows all students a chance to ask questions or add their thoughts to a learning discussion. SIS integration simplifies roster syncing and automates real-time updates so educators and administrators have up-to-date visibility into student attendance and engagement.

Educators can now launch Lightspeed Classroom Management directly within Microsoft Teams, giving them the ability to deliver synchronous or asynchronous instruction and materials without leaving the Teams platform. Teachers maintain full access to Lightspeed Classroom Management tools to gain visibility into students’ workspaces, set custom browsing rules, engage with students directly, and share lesson URLs to ensure equal access to the materials for every student, all in one spot.
