Guide Browsing helps your students stay on track and makes managing digital learning easy. You can start a Focus Session to guide them to the right websites or a Filter Session to block distractions.


Want to plan ahead? Scheduled Browsing lets you set things up before class begins. You can schedule sessions for later in the day, next week or even further out. It’s great for prepping lessons or having sub plans ready to go.


Need something consistent? Recurring Sessions are perfect for daily warm-ups, exit tickets or regularly blocked websites. Just set it once and it runs automatically.


For even more time-saving, create Templates for sessions you use often. With just a few clicks, create templates for guided math sessions, literature circles, brain breaks, digital science labs or anything you can think of.


Guide Browsing gives you more control, helps your students stay focused and saves you time every day
