Allow content blocked by my school

If your school has blocked a website or content you want to show your students during your Classwize session, you can create an allow rule to bypass the School Manager policy, provided the website is not restricted by a Locked Rule.

You can create Classwize rules before starting your class, and they will remain in the rules list until you delete them. Each time you start your class, the rules will automatically apply.

Create an allow rule in a class

1. Sign in to Classwize.
2. Select the Class you want to add rules to.
3. Select Rules to open the Class Rules menu. If there are existing rules for the class, they will show in the Class Rules list.
4. Select Create Rule if your class has no existing rules, or + New Rule if there are existing rules. This will open the Add new rule window.

5. In the Add new rule window, type the website domain or the name of the Theme or Category you want to allow.
6. Select Allowed.
   

   Important

   If you can’t see the Allowed option, it means your school has configured Classwize to only permit teachers to add Block rules. Contact your school’s IT Support to change this configuration.

7. If you want to select specific students, clear the Whole class checkbox and type to search for a student then select the student from the dropdown menu.
8. Select Add rule.
