Monitoring Student Screens

Student screen thumbnails are visible on the main Teacher Tools page once a class is started unless an administrator has disabled the screen viewing feature.

If you are in Tab View and want to switch to Card View, click the view selector dropdown in the upper right.

Securly Classroom sends a request to devices for a screen update about once every 10 seconds. However, if the device has recently been restarted or asleep, it may take up to 2 minutes for it to begin responding to requests.

Students are sorted alphabetically by first or last name. Any students that are offline will be moved to the end of the list (or student group).

To change the way students are sorted, use the Sort by selector in the upper left, and select either First or Last

Student States

Student is not online will appear when the student's device is not online or not communicating with Securly Classroom.

This student is excluded from the session can appear when a student was deselected before the class was started, or because their device connected to Securly Classroom but was detected on an outside (non-school) IP address, which typically means they are absent from school and connecting from home or elsewhere. This automatic exclusion from class based on IP address is an optional setting configured in the System submenu under Settings. Teachers can also click the Add to session link to add the student to current class.

Device online browser not opened will appear when a student is in the class, but their device has not yet connected to Securly Classroom. This state can also appear when a student is viewing an empty tab.

If a student device is inactive for more than 5 minutes, they will display as inactive. This is shown in tab and detail view.

If a student is in another class, the student card will appear with an Add to session link. Teachers can click on this link to add them to the current class session.
