Use the Push URL function to push out one or more sites to student devices that will automatically open in new tabs. This tool is available when a class session is active.

The Push URL function can be applied to an entire class, or individual students.

To Push URL to individual students, select the students by checking the check boxes in the upper left corner of their student card prior to clicking the Push URL button.

To Push URL to the entire class, click the Push URL button with no students selected.

The Push URL sidebar will open, allowing you to choose one or more existing web links to open on the student devices. You can also choose a Collection of sites, represented by the folder icon, to open all sites in the collection.

You can type in the search bar to find a specific web link or collection. Next to this, you will see a dropdown menu that allows you to choose whether to see just your web links, or all web links in the school.

Alternatively, you can select the Manual Entry option at the top of the sidebar, which allows you to manually enter a URL. You can also optionally enter a description and check the Add to list checkbox, which will save that URL as a new web link for future use with Push URL and Site Lock.

If you are running a class that is synced from Google Classroom or Canvas, you'll also see a Google Classroom or Canvas option. This option will display a list of all Classwork from the associated Google Classroom or Canvas class. Just as you can with web links, you can select multiple. You can also use the dropdown next to the search bar to filter by resource type. If you don't see a resource, click the refresh icon to refresh the list.
