The number one priority for schools is to educate. However, for students to learn, it’s clear that students and staff need to feel safe. There are state and federal laws that require schools to safeguard students, but safety is the cornerstone of successful education. However, keeping students safe and productive while utilizing some of the value the internet has to offer can be incredibly challenging.
A comprehensive approach is the best way a school can support a thriving learning environment. Communication and information is critical to keeping students safe and on track. Clear and timely dialogue can offer schools a way to intervene before a situation becomes life-threatening and should include staff, support agencies and parents. Many schools have adopted digital solutions they hope will help manage and cultivate effective communication and secure networks. But the technology must go beyond that to also keep students safe from harmful content and distractions while supporting teachers.
Schools need innovative, flexible solutions that harmoniously ensure continuous safety, security, and an engaging learning environment. When seeking the best EdTech, look for web filter and classroom support solutions that offer:
- Adaptability
- Control
- Real-time activity from one dashboard
- Granular reporting and analytics
