\nThe Challenge: Digital learning continuity during COVID
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/h3>\n

As closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world, many schools found themselves scrambling for devices, digital curriculum, better student internet access, and remote safety solutions.<\/p>\n

A limited timeframe and the need to create digital learning continuity created a demand among school IT teams for quick solutions. Fortunately,\u00a0San Marcos Unified School District (SMUSD)<\/a>\u00a0already had a reliable filtering solution in place:\u00a0Lightspeed Filter\u2122<\/a>. The district made the switch from appliance-based filtering to cloud-based Lightspeed Filter when they began distributing Chromebooks for students to take home.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the reasons why we switched to cloud-based filtering was because we can maintain content filtering off-site,\u201d said Tony Cabral, Technology Coordinator at San Marcos USD. \u201cLightspeed is one of the few filters that are available without a big commitment to hardware<\/strong>.\u201d That flexibility proved invaluable in providing undisrupted learning when classes shifted online.<\/p>\n
