Teachers and students require reliable, collaborative, and easy-to-use tools in the constantly changing digital education landscape.
This is where the Chromebook comes in. Since the pandemic, Chromebooks have become prevalent in classrooms nationwide due to their simple management, robust security, and excellent productivity.
According to Google, over 50 million students and teachers use Chromebooks daily. With so many of these devices out there, your district must have a way to track and manage lost and stolen devices. If you need a tool that can do just that, Content Filter by ManagedMethods is the solution for you.
Content Filter simplifies device management if a device is lost or stolen. With our straightforward yet effective content web filtering software, you can determine a Chromebook device’s last known location, including its IP address and named location. Additionally, you can see which user accounts have logged into the device, when, and what version of Chrome is running on it. If the device has indeed been stolen or compromised, you can flag it as “lost” or “stolen” to prevent anyone from using Chrome.
Key Benefits of Content Filter’s device management feature include:
- Viewing the device’s last known location and IP address
- Viewing the user accounts that have logged into the device
- Viewing the login times of the users
- Viewing the version of Chrome running on the device
- Flagging the device as lost or stolen
- Blocking anyone from using Chrome on the compromised device
“The first thing that stood out to me about Content Filter was how simple and effective it is. With other web filters I’ve used, there’s always so much to dig into. With Content Filter, there’s not a lot to look at. It’s very simplistic, which makes it incredibly easy to set up and manage.”
