KEY FEATURES
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT:
Choice of flexible connection methods - connect to a pre-defined group of student devices or on the fly using a Class Code.
Easily monitor students’ screens via crystal-clear thumbnails.
Open a watch window to zoom in and take a closer look at activity on a single student device. You can view the open Browser and prompt students to share their full desktop. (The latter can be disabled if you prefer to remain with the browser capture only.)
Ask students to register with their names at the start of a class.
Present students with the lesson objectives and their expected learning outcomes.
Broadcast the teachers screen and audio to connected student devices to help show/talk them through explanations and lesson activities.
The teacher can mute the audio playing in the active browser window on student devices.
Hey, you guys! Lock students’ screens in a single click to gain attention.
Get a feel for students’ understanding of the topic you’ve just taught them by sending out a quick survey for students to respond to.
Chat, send a message, and support your students via prioritised help requests – all without their peers knowing.
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):
Keyword and phrase monitoring:
The Safeguarding/Online Safety tools help 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 (multiple languages supported) – providing safeguarding and internet safety indicators for self-harm, bullying, sexual and criminal exploitation, and much more.
Staff can also manage the pre-populated list in the classroom.cloud web portal and add any additional ones they feel are appropriate.
For focused monitoring of specific year groups or students considered vulnerable, you can create groups of student devices and apply specific settings to them.
Dedicated safeguarding/online safety user roles can be assigned to the required staff members and is given to classroom.cloud Administrators by default.
Reporting Concerns:
Using the Safeguarding/Online Safety button on their device, students can report concerns in confidence to a trusted member of staff via the Report a Concern option.
The component also offers students who do feel vulnerable instant access to a list of relevant online resources should they want to seek external help with a particular problem or concern.
Please note: The Safeguarding (Online Safety) tools are free to use during your evaluation period and are an optional extra when you purchase classroom.cloud.
TECH TOOLS
classroom.cloud also provides school IT teams with a range of tools to deliver pro-active support and to help monitor activity across the network.
View Student Desktops
The 'Watch' feature is available to classroom.cloud Administrators and Technicians, allowing them to view activity at a selected device.
Send Message
Send an instant notification to connected desktops.
Inventory
The Inventory tool lets you retrieve a real-time view of the hardware and software installed on each school device.
Audit Log

Activity Monitor
The Activity component provides a single chronological view of user login sessions, application usage, and internet usage for all available classroom.cloud devices.
Acceptable Use Policy Distribution

A dedicated user role for school techs can be assigned to appropriate staff members but access is automatically given to classroom.cloud Administrators.
A step-by-step guide to managing and deploying the classroom.cloud Student extension using the Google Admin Console is available on our website.
