Use the Site Lock function to lock students into a single web site or a group of sites. The button is enabled when a class session is active.
The Site Lock function can be applied to an entire class, or individual students.
To use Site Lock for individual students, choose the students from the list prior to clicking the Site Lock button.
To use Site Lock for an entire class, click the Site Lock button first, then answer "Yes" to the prompt "Do you want to apply Site Lock to all devices in the class?"
The Site lock window will allow you enter a single site, or choose one or more web links for Site lock. You can also choose a Collection of sites, represented by the folder icon, to open all sites in the collection.
Save as new web link: When entering a site manually, rather than choosing from the list of web links, you can use the "Save as new web link" option to save the entered site to the web links list for future use. When you enter a site manually, the site entered will be remembered and pre-filled for the next time you use the Open site function.
Force cloce all other tabs: Use this option if you wish to close all other open tabs on the student devices
Limit max tabs to: This option allows you to specify a maximum number of tabs that can be opened on the student device during site lock.
Allow entire site: Use this function if the URL for the site you are opening contains a path to a specific page on the site and you wish to allow the student to browse to other pages on the site during the session. If this option is not checked, only the exact page entered for the URL will be allowed, with the exception of any "dependencies" for web links that have been configured to have them.
When Site Lock is active on a device, the globe icon will appear.
To end Site lock for one or more students, choose an individual student or the entire class, then use the Release button.
