Teacher Favourite Student Safety and Device Control Tools
Our approach to school safety software is shaped around feedback from our customers throughout the years. We have received a lot of feedback on the favorite software tools of teachers from across the country. These tools are easy to use, simple to understand, and effective for student management in the classroom as well as promoting overall safety.
Live Thumbnail View
Keeping track of student behavior online is key to student safety. As a module within our Classroom Management bundle, live thumbnail view enables real-time observation of each student device within the classroom teacher dashboard.
To use this feature, teachers simply have to log in to the Senso Console and access the relevant group or classroom. From this teacher dashboard, they can view the connected devices within this group in either list view or thumbnail view. Individual devices or smaller groups within a classroom can be selected easily, by clicking on the device or devices in question.
Once the live thumbnail view is selected, teachers can identify inappropriate or off-topic behavior in real-time. Then they can deal with any arising issues either in person or through our other classroom management software.
Lock Screen
Teachers can gain control over their classrooms effectively and immediately with the Lock Screen tool. The main problem with a hybrid learning environment is the possibility of distraction among students. The Lock Screen tool helps to avoid this problem as teachers can limit device usage, locking the screen to refocus student behavior.
When the lock screen tool is deployed, students are unable to use their devices. Their screens will instead display a customized message to remind them to stay on task and inform them that their device is locked and why.
This is one of the classroom management tools that can be applied to specific devices or larger groups when necessary. It is most effective when paired with the live thumbnail view. This is because teachers are able to identify certain behaviors through the classroom monitoring tool, select certain device screens, and apply this lock tool in real time to prevent harmful or distracting behaviors.
