Acknowledge examples of good work or effort by assigning rewards to students during the lesson.

The teacher can randomly select students to answer a question during a Q&A session.

Choose the websites they can and can't see or block all website access. See details of the website that students are currently viewing to check they are focused on the task at hand.

Save yourself a heap of time and maximize lesson time by launching a website on the student devices.

SAFEGUARDING (ONLINE SAFETY):

The Safeguarding/Online Safety tool helps you protect students from being exposed to inappropriate online content. It alerts staff when students type or search for any terms that match with those in the classroom.cloud keyword database – providing safeguarding and internet safety indicators for self-harm, bullying, sexual and criminal exploitation, and much more. (The Safeguarding tools are free to use during your evaluation period and are an optional extra when you purchase classroom.cloud.)


A step-by-step guide to managing and deploying the classroom.cloud Student extension using the Google Admin Console is available on our website.
