Data-Driven Decisions in Education: Exploring Lightspeed Filter’s Reporting Capabilities

School district information technology (IT) departments play a crucial role in protecting networks and equipping staff with the insights they need to tackle everyday challenges. IT administrators need a comprehensive, detailed view of the websites and applications students and staff are attempting to access to ensure both individual and network safety. Principals, counselors, and teachers require detailed data for making informed decisions on everything from budgeting to student behavior, enabling them to offer necessary support and targeted interventions.

This is where Lightspeed’s comprehensive portfolio of security, safety, and classroom solutions comes in. More specifically a tool that captures all district, school, and user-level web activity, like Lightspeed Filter, makes a difference. It provides instant visibility into all on-device activities by students and staff, including top websites, applications, blocks, and searches. This detail helps disseminate information and solve issues quickly, improving decision-making. With dashboards, reports, and raw-data exports, districts can drill down and go as in-depth as needed – something no other filtering tool in the market can provide, as well as Lightspeed.

From dashboard to reports, Lightspeed Filter makes it easy to drive outcomes through data.
