The Visibility to Know

You can’t guide what you can’t see. These tools give teachers a live, complete picture of every student, every session.

Reason 01

Class Highlights That Keep You Ahead

Start every day informed. Daily highlights surface the most-accessed sites, block list suggestions, and engagement trends — so you can spot disengagement early and adjust instruction before it becomes a problem.

"Lightspeed allows me to monitor class engagement, troubleshoot issues, and deliver appropriate content to my students."
Courtney Baker
Northwest Independent School District

Reason 02

Real-Time AI Monitoring

Know the moment a student visits an AI-related site. AI Notify gives you immediate visibility so you can guide appropriate use, close a tab, send an announcement, or record the screen — all without leaving Classroom.

"Lightspeed Classroom has been an important part of our AI rollout. AI usage notifications that make it easier to monitor and guide responsible AI use. It's also sparked discussions among our C&I teams about how to better support AI in the classroom."

Reason 03

Screen Views From Wide to 1:1

Slide between a full-class overview and a zoomed-in view of any individual screen. Check browsing history for the entire class period in a click, or scan every student’s open tabs — all without disrupting the room.

"I like that I can monitor my students computer activities, record, and use as evidence. Students know they are being monitored, so they are more engaged and on task."
George Vega
Tulare Joint Union High School District

The Control to Act

Seeing on it’s own isn’t enough. These tools put immediate, precise action at teacher’s fingertips — without interrupting instruction.

Reason 04

Web Rules You Actually Control

Block or allow specific sites during instruction with precision. When students mark themselves “Done,” Web Rules can be released automatically — giving students freedom as they earn it, without extra steps for you.

Whether it’s leveraging Web Rules to block access to YouTube, or deploying device locking to limit distractions when needed, Classroom is helping our educators keep students on track."

Reason 05

Tab Limits That Reset Automatically

Set a district baseline, then tighten focus during live sessions by temporarily reducing open tabs for the whole class. When class ends, settings revert on their own — no cleanup needed.

"With Lightspeed Classroom™, teachers now feel in control of their classrooms again with technology becoming a key component in education."

Reason 06

Push Links to Anyone, Instantly

Send a link to one student, a group, or the entire class with a single action. A new tab opens on their device immediately — getting everyone to the right place at the right time, every time.

Lightspeed Classroom™ gives our teachers the tools that they need to provide online resources directly to student desktops... It has saved our teachers valuable time in the classroom and truly allows the technology to be an efficient tool for learning.

The Excellence to Lead

Great teachers don’t just manage classrooms — they architect them. These tools build the structure that lets excellence happen every day.

Reason 07

Merge Classes, Eliminate Busywork

When your SIS splits a single roster into multiple sections, Merge Classes brings them back together. Manage your whole group from one view instead of bouncing between tabs or building clunky workarounds.

“Lightspeed Classroom™ links to my timetable so classes automatically come up based on the time. I like how easy to use it is and how simple it is to understand/control screens from my computer when I have a whole class in front of me.”
Miss F Jones
Acer Trust

Reason 08

Student Groups Built for Real Classrooms

Create custom groups right from the dashboard — for group projects, learning interventions, or differentiated instruction. Share screens, lock devices, and push URLs to just that group, without affecting the rest of the class.

“The reason I like groups is that they’re dynamic. They are easy to rearrange and amend. Yet, equally, the tools that sit within them are the same as you have for the whole class.”

Reason 09

Digital Hall Passes — Built Right In

Issue and track passes without paper or add-on apps, at no extra cost. Student browsing is automatically blocked while a pass is active, and every movement is logged with time-in, time-out, and approving teacher.

"As a teacher, I love Lightspeed Classroom™ because it actually makes tech work for me instead of against me... It keeps things running smoothly, so I can focus on teaching instead of playing internet cop."
Sam Son
Fairfax County Public Schools (VA)

Reason 10

Co-Teaching Made Simple

Add co-teachers, aides, substitutes, or assistants directly from the Teaching Team tab. Assign tailored access levels — from monitor-only to full control — with date ranges, so coverage is always intentional and the class never skips a beat.

"This program is amazing and facilitates effective student monitoring, enabling direct communication with students.”
