Keep an Eye on Everything

There were issues of users not using their computers responsibly, but since they know they are being monitored, there is rarely to no misuse of technology.

PROS

This software is very easy to use has 4 or 5 fantastic features you want to keep tabs on 40 + computers. Its best feature is to guess which users are using unapproved websites and override or message the computer.

CONS

The two complaints I have are first, it can falsely flag users on websites that are okay to use and it will continue to flag these websites until they are white listed. Second depending on the monitoring being used, this software can use a lot of bandwidth.

One of the most Powerful tools we provided our teachers

It was a great experience, and it steadily improved while using the product as new features were added and I felt like teachers were being listened too and what was needed was being added

PROS

I like it’s ease of use and deployment and the ease to demonstrate to our staff on it’s setup and use in the classroom, the ability for them to set and forget really helped.

CONS

Early on we had a few issues with the blocking of items by teachers where we had to unblock many helper sights and other pages to allow students to be able to sign in and then use certain online items

Reason for choosing Lightspeed Classroom Management

It was less gamified so it didn’t suck our teachers in and allowed teachers to set and forget without them really wanting to just sit at their desk and monitor the students but feel that they had the freedom to move around the room and know students were being passively monitored.

Classroom

I had a great experience using it for my online session.

PROS

Classroom is great software virtual class room session. Being an Instructor it is a helpful tool to delivered lectures while sitting in your couch. My students loves that and they are even more at tentative then onsite lectures.

CONS

when you have more students then some time is get freeze due to different internal speed or their device operating system.

Vendor Response

Nusrat, thank you so much for your review of Relay Classroom! We're glad that you enjoy using Relay Classroom and that it has helped your students stay focused during instruction. Unfortunately, older devices, or devices with outdated operating systems, may be slow to communicate with our solution. Having your students connect to Relay Classroom with efficient devices is ideal and will prevent this issue, but we recognize this isn't always possible. If there is anything else we can do to improve your experience, please let us know!

Lightspeed Classroom review

Lightspeed is an incredible product and I can't recommend it enough. This is by far the best solution I have used that gives teachers access to see what their students are doing on their devices.

PROS

Not only are the features better than all other systems that we tested, but the implementation was so simple. We implemented LS Classroom for Chromebooks, iOS, Windows, and macOS and it couldn't have been easier.

CONS

It's not easy to give just Lightspeed admin rights to certain users. They technically have LS admin rights, but they didn't do what we needed and had to temporarily grant global admin rights. Other than that though I have no complaints.

Vendor Response

Clay, thank you for your review! We appreciate it and are thrilled that Lightspeed is supporting your students!
