“Linewize is really a one-stop shop for student safety. It’s a great solution that can bring a lot of other things that you’ve already got in place down to one pane of glass.”

Removing distractions, overcoming teacher hesitations with Linewize Filter and Classwize

Both the content modification feature and the Content-aware Module in Linewize Filter have made it easy for the IT team to remove distractions from sites like YouTube and Google, creating a safer educational environment.

Adding Classwize to integrate with the Filter has allowed the district to consolidate costs while giving teachers better control during class.

While teachers were initially hesitant to make the switch, Shigihara says that changed once their teachers tried Classwize for themselves. "They took it, used it, and said let's go for it."

Saving student lives with real-time alerts from Linewize Monitor

Recognizing that filtering alone is not enough to keep students safe and well in the modern digital landscape, the district employed Monitor for real-time student safety alerts. After using Monitor for almost two years, the district credits the tool with saving the lives of several students.

Increasing parent engagement with Qustodio

The response to Qustodio Parent App has been positive, and Shigihara says that parent engagement is higher than usual as a result, with 31% of parents currently connected.

Qustodio has delivered the level of insight and control parents wanted for their students' school-issued devices, and has made it easier for staff to have conversations with parents about student online activity and wellbeing.
