The ever-growing presence of technology in education can open a wide range of new challenges for school and district leaders—ensuring student online safety, managing devices, maintaining compliance, protecting student data, and more. Today’s web filtering solutions for schools should go beyond the basics of blocking and allowing websites; they should equip school leaders with tools to confidently address the complexities of technology in K–12 and provide the safest online learning environment possible. To ensure the best selection for your school or district, here are 10 things to consider for an optimal web filtering solution:
Lightspeed Filter is built by the leaders in online safety, with over 20 years of experience in web indexing and innovating online safety solutions. Tailored for the unique needs of K-12, Lightspeed Filter offers device-level agents, the most comprehensive filtering database in K–12, and the newest technology to ensure every device is filtered, everywhere it goes.
You probably have a mix of devices on your network. You need a web filtering solution that simplifies your management effort—not one that complicates it. That’s why 光速滤镜™ (formerly Relay) 拥有 SmartAgents™ 对于 Chromebook, 苹果电脑, 视窗和 的iOS. It also includes a filter for BYOD and other devices. This means all your filtering is covered, no hardware required, in a single, time-saving solution.
Student safety online is about more than simply blocking inappropriate content. That’s why Lightspeed的 web filtering software seamlessly pairs with Lightspeed 警报™。 Lightspeed Alert is the first student monitoring and online safety solution to use web activity information to identify and address threats before they happen. It features suspicious term flagging on online documents, emails, 和 social media to alert you to concerning online behavior. Its advanced artificial intelligence offers powerful reporting as well as real-time alerts to help prevent a tragedy before it occurs.
光速的 Smart玩 feature solves the YouTube problem, once and for all. Video categorizations from YouTube and video uploaders are wildly inaccurate, so we’ve categorized nearly 100 million videos ourselves. With a simple click in your web filtering interface, you can allow educational videos; block sidebars and comments; and add teacher channels. Smart玩 ensures a safe experience oñ 的YouTube 以及其他网站上嵌入的YouTube视频。
Web filtering isn’t one-size-fits-all. Schools have different needs—just as groups and users within schools have different needs. Our default web filtering policies are based on best practices we’ve developed over 20 years in business. However, Lightspeed 系统篇 also makes it easy to differentiate policies. You can build custom allow/block lists; custom categories; and policies tailored to users, groups, and schools.
In addition to web filtering features, Lightspeed solutions can seamlessly integrate with our classroom management solution: Lightspeed Classroom ManagËment™. Lightspeed Classroom Management’s revolutionary AI saves teachers’ time, keeps students on task, and ensures devices are well-used and easily managed across your schools’ technology and student devices.
Once your web filtering policies are set, you’ll spend most of your time in the filter viewing reports. 你 need to be able to Ëasily pull and find reports and data that allow you to 采取行动. Lightspeed Filter gives 您 high-level dashboards and drilldowns on sites, users, individual pages, domains, and more. If you have a question, Lightspeed Filter’s customizable reporting can help you answer it. Plus, the reports are easy to share with your peers and community.
An incomplete web filtering database results in more work for you and greater risk for your users. It may allow inappropriate content and block educational content, and you’ll have to manually categorize every website the database missed.
You don’t have to worry about that with Lightspeed Filter. Our adaptive AI database includes more than 65 million websites and IP addresses. It leverages enhanced machine learning for the most accurate and comprehensive categorization of the web. This means you save time not having to re-categorize websites. This also means you can count on students staying safe and having access to valuable content.
您需要通过网络过滤软件深入了解学生搜索词。您还需要知道学生观看了哪些视频。这需要 SSL解密, which has been a huge hassle for schools. It required banks of trusted man-in-the-middle proxy servers, PAC files, and trust certificates — until now.
Lightspeed SmartAgents have a self-contained proxy engine. With SmartAgents, you don’t need to set up or manage anything. You also get the SSL decryption you need for policies and reporting across all operating systems.
Blocking social media doesn’t work for a lot of schools. After all, social media can be important to schools’ communication strategies and curriculum.
光速的 Social Media Controls let you block and allow social media sites in a few clicks in your web filtering solution. You can easily set different policies for teachers and students, policies by age or group (如 elementary 和 和 high schools), 和 policies for school hours and non-school hours. Plus, you can set social media sites to read-only, so students can research but not post.
Lightspeed’s SmartAgents ensure 24/7 safety. They are installed on student devices, can’t be removed, and make filtering seamless as devices move from network to network. Also, you can easily adjust Lightspeed’s web filtering policies for after-school hours, opening up access.
