Set a Focus in a class

Updated
This article is for Teachers.

You can create a Focus or use an existing Focus Plan to ensure your students stay on task during class. You can edit or end the Focus from your Classroom toolbar.

  Note

Pause Internet overrides Focus for a student’s internet access. Paused students are refocused when unpaused.

Create a New Focus

  1. On the Classwize Dashboard, select the class for which you want to set the Focus Plan.
  2. On the Classroom toolbar, select Class Tools, then Focus and the Focus Library panel will open.

  2. (Optional) Select Save this focus to my library, then enter a Name to create a Focus Plan. Focus plans are saved in your Focus Library and can be set for multiple classes.

      Important

    If you do not save the Focus to your library, the Focus settings will disappear if you end the Focus in your class.

    You can enter as many resources as you need for your class.

  4. Select Students, then select All students or choose the students you want the Focus to apply to.
