You can block content that your school has allowed to prevent distractions during your Classwize session.
Important
Classwize rules can't override Locked policies in Linewize Filter. If you create a rule that conflicts with a Locked policy in Linewize Filter, you will see a warning message advising that the rule may not work for any or all students.
You can create Classwize rules before your class starts, and they will remain in the rules list until you delete them. Each time you start your class, the rules will automatically apply.
Before you begin
- You must have access to Rules in Classwize.
Create a block rule in a class
- Sign in to Classwize.
- Select the Class you want to add rules to.
- Select Rules to open the Class Rules menu. If there are existing rules for the class, they will show in the Class Rules list.
- 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.
- In the Add new rule window, type the website domain or the name of the Theme or Category you want to block.
- Select Blocked.
- 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.
- Select Add rule.
If the website is still not blocked after you create your rule, check the Rule's settings or contact your school’s IT Support.
