BYOD Classroom Management for Schools
Allowing students to use their own laptops, Chromebooks, tablets or other devices can give schools greater flexibility, but it also creates challenges around classroom management, safeguarding, device identification and privacy.
classroom.cloud helps schools manage Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) environments alongside school-owned devices from one cloud-based platform.
Configure
With classroom.cloud, your IT team configures all student devices from the web portal, regardless of whether they are school-owned or personal devices. So, once classroom.cloud is installed onto a student’s personal device, then that’s it! If you need to reconfigure, you can do it all centrally and seamlessly from the web portal.
Connect
The easiest way for students to connect to the class with their personal devices is to use classroom.cloud’s Class Code, as there will be no other standardized device name format or identifier (as on school-owned devices) to enable the device to sign in.
Student register
Teachers can request that BYOD students register into the class with their given names (rather than the login name of the device, often used in school-owned device setups), making it easier to see who is present.
iOS app
BYOD students using the iOS app can still use their school’s Google or Microsoft accounts, which is essential for classroom.cloud’s dedicated online safety tools to be able to safeguard them.
Maintain privacy
classroom.cloud maintains students’ privacy on their personal devices, as the school can set the conditions for when the classroom management, safeguarding, and activity monitoring are active – based on the time, date, or network the device is connected to.
