LightSpeed Classroom Management
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

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.
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.
