Web filtering software needs to be at the center of your hybrid and remote learning plan. Lightspeed-filter (voorheen relais) provides filtering, reporting, and student protection you can rely on, no matter where students are using their devices. 

1. Lightspeed-filters SmartAgents™ zorgen voor filtering het maakt niet uit waar studenten hun apparaten gebruiken. Zorg ervoor dat je SmartAgents implementeert op alle apparaten die je naar huis stuurt met leden van je community.
2. Naschoolse regels in Lightspeed-filter allow you to turn filtering and reporting on and off based on the needs or requirements of your district. Plus, our tool allows you to adjust filtering policies after school hours or when devices are used away from school networks—voor Chromebooks and all other operating systems.
3. Lightspeed Alert ™ zal termen markeren en waarschuwingen sturen over betreffende activiteit (related to self-harm, bullying, or violence, for example). This visibility can be an essential safety measure that helps protect students facing threats and isolation at home. If you’re using these features, review and discuss your internal policies for managing alerts that emerge during extended closures. De juiste alomvattende strategie zal helpen om de veiligheid van studenten te verbeteren.
4. Zorg ervoor dat leermiddelen op afstand zijn toegestaan. If your teachers are using new tools to conduct their remote classes, make sure you allow those tools in your filtering policies. These could include additional YouTube channels (where they post class recordings), live streaming tools, and more.
5. Erken dat studenten geïsoleerd kunnen raken and adjust your policies accordingly. Sites you typically block during school, including social media, games, and chats, might be tools students use to help cope with isolation and loneliness during extended closures and quarantines. Consider adjusting policies—and using Lightspeed Alert—to continue monitoring and to offer members of your community the support they need at difficult moments.
6. Houd je rapportages in de gaten. Many students are still adjusting to hybrid and distance learning. Filter reports allow you to monitor how devices are used and how students and teachers are adapting to this new environment.
7. Bekijk het privacybeleid van tools you and your community introduce. Many companies have offered tools to help schools deal with remote learning. Most of these free tools are great, but not all have the same standards when protecting users’ data. The right filter can help you verify those tools and apps. Also, only work with companies you trust to ensure you’re not inadvertently putting students or their data at risk.
