This article is intended for teachers.

Some Classwize features for teachers are not currently available at every school. The features available at your school depend on:

  • How your school has configured Classwize.

  • What types of devices your students use.

  • If Linewize Connect for Windows or Mac, or Connect Chrome extension has been installed on your students’ devices.

  • If the device is connected to a School Manager Hardware Protected Network.

This guide outlines which Classwize features are available to teachers when: 

NOTE
You need a license to access Classwize‘s classroom management features including Class Tools; Screenshot History and Student Journey Reports, and Rules. If you don’t have access to these features, contact your school’s IT administrator for assistance.

Definitions

  • On a School Manager Hardware Protected Network: The device is connected to your school’s network that is protected by a Linewize appliance and has an internet connection.
  • Off a School Manager Hardware Protected Network: The device is connected to the Internet through a network that your school doesn’t run. For example, the student may be at home or using their phone’s mobile data service to access the internet.
  • During School hours: The period of the day when students are normally at school. 

    NOTE
    Your school can configure school hours on Configuration > Objects > Time Periods and enable it on the Classwize Configuration page.
