"Securely lets me keep an eye on my students' learning."
I like that I can see the screens of all the students in my class at the same time. I can see if they are focused on the task, not off somewhere else.

It's a great tool for teachers to keep tabs on student devices. It is simple to get started for nearly any teacher and has some more advanced features for teachers looking for more. Support and training is top-notch. The company is built around the education sector, so everything is tailored for that demographic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Securly Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows teachers to see a birds-eye view of the student devices in their classrooms. It also allows them to customize filtering to keep students on task during class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing is helpful. Like at all. Like said in title very bad, not qualities to be appreciated by ANY STUDENT. Blocks sites related to school, lying to us. Not cool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Securly Classroom?

YES I CAN TALK DOWNSIDES! Securly uwu is a bad site that is LYING! Yes, busted! It blocks safe sites that are related to school and watches students. That's against the law! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Securly Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

None. Read the downsides part of my review. It's lying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Securly Classroom?

Securly not only helps you monitor student behavior while on the internet but may have actually helped my school admin team save a student's life. She opened a site related to therapy services. An alert for a harmful site was immediately sent to her administrator, who was able to call the student in and discuss the situation. She finally told the administrator that she needed help and was thinking about harming herself. The admin was able to get her help immediately, all because of Securly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Securly Classroom?

Sometimes students can get around the extension or turn it off, but Securly responds quickly with fixes to these issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Securly Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to monitor if students are engaged in the lesson, and the software alerts administrators and me whenever a student searches or clicks on a website that is concerning or potentially dangerous. The parent app offers incredible features to give parents a piece of mind in a digital age. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Securly Classroom?

Securly Classroom is a powerful tool for teachers to monitor student activity in class and allows teachers to monitor and adjust student activity in real time. Teachers rave that Nucleus UI is easy to use and gives them quick access to student screens and tabs so that they can more easily monitor student activity. It's no secret that students are inundated by technology and many times lack appropriate self-restraint in the appropriate use of technology. This hinders their learning and may even be disruptive to surrounding students. With Securly Classroom management, teachers can guide students in what they should be doing and help provide more self-restraint to students so that they can maximize their classroom learning time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Securly Classroom?

It can be difficult for teachers to manage Securly classroom while teaching. When teachers are trying to give appropriate lessons and instruction for students, they don't have the time to monitor computer use for students and therefore, students sometimes wander away from the appropriate task. As a teacher grows their own web-link list to allow or block URLs, they will be able to provide students with relevant links while giving instruction to students. This isn't necessarily a hindrance but can be a bit of extra work for teachers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Securly Classroom:

It's worth a try to see how Securly Classroom can benefit your teachers and students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Securly Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's clear that Securly Classroom provides teachers with tools to enhance successful learning for students in their own classrooms by guiding students to relevant content and blocking URLs students shouldn't be going to. This has helped to remove distractions for students in the classroom and focus their learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Securly Classroom?

What I really like about the securly software is being able to push meeting links to students because when they are learning virtually they may not remember to join the google meet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Securly Classroom?

No complaints. It would be cool to see multiple classes at once via tab selection instead of searching each class individually. The site could use some color maybe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Securly Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing student focus in the virtual setting or when they are using a computer in the classroom has been beneficial so students stay on task with learning. Student attendance by being able to push links to them is also helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Securly Classroom?

I like how many ways there are to set it up. We do not use a popular LMS, but we can still sync with our Google domain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Securly Classroom?

We still have some trouble with students not showing sometimes. We are working on it, but it's a slow process since it is not consistent from student to student or day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Securly Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Securly Classroom has helped a lot with student engagement and time on task. It has also helped limit the number of flagged sites and activities that our admin has to deal with. Just knowing the teachers have it on and can see what they are doing had reduced inappropriate internet use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Securly Classroom?

The ability to see student Chromebook screens is the primary reason we went with Securly Classroom. This allows teachers additional resources for classroom management. The ability to close tabs, lock devices, and have a history of student internet browsing is also beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Securly Classroom?

We ran into a lot of issues with student screens not displaying on the screen view. This required several support tickets, back and forth emails, and calls with Securly. At first, we would just kept getting the same response asking to complete the basic troubleshooting steps and to provide information about the class. This got frustrating as it did not provide us any solutions to the issues. Finally, we had a webinar with several Securly employees and were told that the issue was due to the processing power required on both the teacher's and students' devices to display the screens in screen view. Their suggestion was to use tab view. Unfortunately, this defeated our original purpose of being able to see all the students' screens at the same time. Overtime the issue seemed to occur less frequently and our teachers learned to deal with it, but it was still not a perfect solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Securly Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Securly Classroom was even more beneficial while we were virtual. Teachers could use the screen view to remotely help troubleshoot. When students were off task, they could send announcements and push URLs to get the students to where they were supposed to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much! The interface could be a little cleaner, but overall it is still very easy to use and navigate and we did not have any issues with staff not being able to figure it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Definitely give it a trial and compare it to your current system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Securly Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Classroom management when students are on devices. Hands down, this was some of the best technology dollars we have spent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that securly is constantly evolving and changing their products for the betterment of students and staff. Securly classroom is no different in that regard.

I wish the GUI would be updated as it is outdated and in need of a new overlay and it could be easier to use for staff much like Go Guardian. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just go for it! We love the new design and how easy it is for our teachers to use. They can't stop using it on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can have better classroom management, and students are kept on task easier by teachers, and it helps to take the workload off the IT to allow or deny what sites the teachers might need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
