"Real-Time Classroom Control That Actually Helps: Our Take on Securly Classroom"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Securly Classroom?

Securly Classroom has been a huge help in keeping our students focused during lessons, especially in a 1:1 Chromebook environment. Before using it, teachers often felt like they were “flying blind” — they could assign work online, but had no way to know who was actually doing it without walking around constantly.

Now, with Securly Classroom, teachers can see every student’s screen in real-time, freeze screens when they need attention, and even open tabs or push websites directly during a lesson. It’s not about micromanaging — it’s about keeping the class on track without having to stop instruction every five minutes to redirect someone.

Setup was straightforward, and most of our teachers picked it up quickly. The interface is clean and easy to use, even for folks who aren’t super tech-savvy. Plus, since it’s browser-based and tied into our Google accounts, there’s no complicated software or extensions to manage outside of the initial setup.

What we’ve seen since rolling it out is an overall improvement in student focus and fewer distractions during tech time. It also allows teachers to be proactive — they can step in before a student falls too far behind or gets off-task for too long.

Pros:

Real-time screen monitoring

Tab push and link sharing saves time

Ability to lock screens or tabs as needed

Teachers feel more in control of tech use

No special software installs for students Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Securly Classroom?

Occasionally slow to load large class rosters

Doesn’t monitor activity when students are outside the class session

Securly Classroom has really helped our teachers take back control of their digital classrooms without adding more stress to their day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Securly Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Securly Classroom solves the problem of limited classroom oversight during Chromebook use. Before we had it, teachers struggled to keep students focused — especially during independent work time or when using websites for research. There just wasn’t a practical way to monitor 20+ screens at once.

With Classroom, teachers now have a live view of what students are doing, and they can redirect them instantly if needed. They can also share links, freeze screens, or lock students into specific tabs during assessments or guided work. That level of control means fewer interruptions and less time spent on behavior management.

It’s made tech integration smoother and helped build teacher confidence in using devices regularly — because they know they’re not giving up control when they hand out a Chromebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
