Securly Classroom is a classroom management tool designed to help teachers do what they do best: guide lessons, monitor student progress, and keep the focus on learning. Classroom allows teachers to see what students are doing on their devices, push websites and resources instantly, lock student devices to get the class's attention, and much more!
For admins, Classroom works together with your Google Admin console and SIS to make setting up a snap. Classroom also allows you to locate lost Chromebook devices.
You can log in to Securly Classroom at deviceconsole.securly.com/classroom.
This guide will help you in configuring Classroom and give you instructions on using all of its features.

Teachers can create access plans that contain sites and Windows apps to either be blocked or allowed during class sessions. When starting or scheduling a class, the teacher can choose which access plan to enforce during that class session.
The My Account menu allows you to change your personal account settings, and is accessible from the dropdown in the upper right corner of most screens.
Managing Classes
Adding a Nickname for a synced Class
When a class is synced from your SIS, you can set a Nickname for the class to identify it more easily. To do so, click the name of the class in the Classes menu to edit it.
Once on the Class Edit screen, enter a nickname in the Nickname field, then click Save.
Scheduling Classes
Classes can be scheduled to automatically start.
In order to schedule classes, the administrator must enable class scheduling from the System submenu of the Settings menu with the setting Allow scheduled class sessions.
When enabled by the administrator, class schedule options appear on the class edit page.
Viewing Class Session History
The Session History tab under the Classes menu shows a list of all completed and in-progress class sessions. Administrators will see classes for all teachers. Teachers will see only their own classes. The search box can be used to search for classes by just a specific teacher or class name.
Combining Classes
Classes can be combined from the Classes menu.
Click the Add New Class button to begin, then select Combined Class at the top of the sidebar.
Student history is available from the following places:
By going to the Users menu, Rostered Students tab, then selecting a student.
During class, from student options menu in the upper right corner of the student card.
From the Classes menu, in the Session History tab. View history for the class session, then click on a student to view that student's specific history events for that class session.
When viewing lists of student browsing history, you can visit the sites by clicking on them.
Student browsing history will now show both accessed and blocked sites. This can be helpful when Site Lock or an allow-only access plan fails to allow access to a desired site due to forwarding through other sites in the login process or when using the site. Teachers or administrators can check the student history to see which site was blocked and use the “copy” button to add the URL to their access plan, weblink dependency lists, or the organization-wide allow list.
After a class session ends, all class teachers will receive an email summary of the class that includes basic class details, the number of times each function was performed, top web sites visited by the class, the top sites by each student, and more.
