Teachers: Allowing or blocking access to a site during class time
Many sites that are blocked or allowed by the Classwize filter are blocked so a teacher can override this during class time. This is especially helpful if you discover a broken link during class or something you don't want available during your class but might be okay in others.
To open or block a site:
- Open the class on Classwize, the link to Classwize is in your LPOSD Folder or hereĀ ClassWize
- If necessary start the class, make sure the ending time matches with your class
- On the right-hand side, click on 'rules'
- Click on "Create Rule"
- Fill out the URL, category, or app (Windows or Mac only) you want to allow or block
- Select the block or allow option.
- Additionally, you can set these rules for certain students by selecting the 'whole class' option, then providing what students get the allowance or block.
