One of the biggest concerns for parents and teachers is ensuring the safety of students online and making sure students are actively engaged in class. Chromebooks that are purchased through the school will allow teachers to monitor all student screens, turn all screens off in order to minimize distractions, and project student work easily to the front of the room. See video for a demonstration.
Families can use the SecurlyHome App to monitor and control students’ internet activity outside of the Jeffco Public Schools network. Click here for more info.
