Securly enhances CTL Chromebook Security on supported devices.
Securly filtering settings can restrict access to objectionable material and minimize in-class distractions by customizing which sites and apps students are allowed to access during classroom instruction.This customization ensures that CTL Chromebook security is optimized for a more powerful learning environment and falls under CIPA compliant policy provisions.
If your school decides to implement a 1:1 program, Securly filtering can be set to loosen browsing restrictions outside of class time. This aids in students maintaining an authentic online experience with access to their social media accounts, chat programs, and sites which are more appropriate for out of school viewing. Securly Cloud-Based Solutions also includes free reporting to parents on student online activity through weekly emails or the parental access portal.
By using cloud-based filtering you eliminate the need to set up each device individually. Instead, Securly filtering options are quickly and easily set up for all of your school’s Chromebook devices through a single cloud-based administration console, ensuring optimal Chromebook security settings.
Securly and CTL Chromebooks Partner in the Fight Against Cyberbullying
Across-the-board restriction of social media access for students no longer is the catch-all solution for educators and administrators when Chromebooks are being used in your school and curriculum. Restricting total access to social media can result in a missed learning opportunity to educate students on digital citizenship and prepare them for responsible participation online as adults in the workforce.
Recently, abuse of social media has resulted in major issues with cyberbullying. i-SAFE Foundation reports over half students, when surveyed, disclosed having been cyber bullied or had cyber bullied another student. Many students don’t consider that these negative posts can follow them later in life into adulthood. It’s vital that awareness of all the consequences of poor digital citizenship are addressed with students using the internet. Opening up these important discussions with students on cyberbullying facilitates a strong awareness of your school’s policies on bullying, harassment, and cyberbullying.
Students may often be hesitant to report cyberbullying to adults, making policy enforcement difficult. However, Securly on CTL Chromebooks means easy implementing and enforcing of cyberbullying policies. Securly is the first of it’s kind in creating successful web filtering by using cutting edge natural language processing algorithms which audit student’s social posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. Securly’s ability to alert administrators and educators early when issues of bullying or self-harm arise is critical for preventing tragedies in schools and communities.
