Tech Thursday (10/13/22): Lightspeed Classroom Management - Relaunch!

 


Lightspeed Classroom Management: Relaunch!


Lightspeed Classroom Management (formerly called Classroom Relay) is a tool that educators in our district have access to which allows teachers to safely message a distracted student, redirect their browser, close windows and tabs, and enable screen sharing for in-classroom collaboration when students are in class and working online.

There are a few crucial steps to take to get started and set up for success with Lightspeed Classroom Management. Please see the help guide at bit.ly/JCPSLCM to learn more and complete the brief training required before using this tool.

Certified Technology Assistants and School Library Media Specialists - Please share this updated information about Lightspeed Classroom Management with teachers at your school who might be interested in learning more and using it.
