You can block content that your school has allowed to prevent distractions during your Classwize session, provided the website is not allowed by a Locked Allow Policy.
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 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.
