Merging Classes
When to Use Merging Classes:
- You teach the same course to different groups of students at the same time.
- You are co-teaching a single group with another teacher.
How to Merge: Select the classes you want to combine on your dashboard. Select the option to Merge Classes (or "More Actions" menu). Combine the student rosters from both classes into a single temporary session. Result:
- A single, unified view of all students from the merged classes.
- Classroom controls (like screen locking or web rules) are applied to all students in the new merged group.

Setting Up Ad hoc
What is an Ad Hoc Session? A temporary, unscheduled class session that you start and stop manually. While you can create class schedules, Ad hoc will be most effective for our A/B day schedule! How to Start an Ad Hoc Session: Go to the "Class Settings" for the desired class. Choose a Session Duration from the drop-down menu (e.g., 30 minutes, 1 hour). Click Start Session to begin real-time monitoring and control. Important: If you session doesn't time out, remember to "End Session" manually if you finish early to ensure students have unrestricted access after your class!

Managing Students
1. Messaging Students (Private Communication) - Provide instant, private, and non-disruptive communication. Send a direct, private chat message to an individual student or the whole class. Politely redirect an off-task student or provide private help without singling them out publicly. 2. Recording Student Screens (Accountability) - Document activity for accountability and evidence. Initiate a temporary recording of a student's screen activity. Capture activity related to academic dishonesty or policy violations to be shared with administration. 3. Sharing Student Screens (Collaboration) - Promote peer learning and model best practices. Broadcast a student’s screen to the entire class or to specific devices. Have a student share an excellent example, troubleshoot a technical issue for the group, or display their presentation. 4. Viewing Browsing History (Insight) - Gain quick insight into a student's recent activity. Check the browsing history for a specific student during the class session. Verify if a student was on-task leading up to an issue, or see which resources they have been using for their assignment.

Locking Student Screens
Immediately gain students' attention for direct instruction, transitions, or a classroom discussion. Why Lock Screens?
- Ensure all eyes are on you and the front of the room.
- Prevent students from falling behind during key instruction moments.
- Minimize distractions instantly.
How to Lock Screens:
- Look for the Lock/Unlock Screens or Lock Devices button (usually a padlock icon).
- Choose to lock:
- All Students
- A selected group of students
- A single student
To Resume Work: Click the Unlock button to immediately restore device access.
Individual Student
All Students
Sharing Screen / Sending Links
A. Screen Sharing (Casting) Teacher to Student: Broadcast your screen (or a specific application window) to all student devices to share instructions, model a process, or demonstrate a concept. B. Sending Links Quickly send a specific URL to all student devices. Instant Access: Force student devices to open the shared website, saving time on typing or navigating. Tip: This is faster and more reliable than having students manually navigate to a new site. Click "More Actions" Click "Send Link"
Click Sheet
Allowing / Blocking Sites
Create a focused online environment by managing which websites students can access during your lesson. A. Blocking Specific Sites Prevent access to known distracting sites (e.g., games, social media, non-related video streaming) during a lesson. How: Input the URL you wish to block into the Web Rules or Block URL list for the current session. B. Limiting to Specific Sites (Allow-List / Limit Tabs) Restrict students to only the specific instructional websites needed for an activity (e.g., just the Google Doc, the research database, and a math tool). How: Set up a list of Allowed URLs or activate a Limit Tabs feature to close off-task browser tabs. Students will only be able to open those approved sites. C. Closing Off-Task Tabs You can instantly view and close distracting or inappropriate tabs on a student's device without locking the entire screen, allowing them to remain on their assignment.

Allow List
Allow students to share their screens, view their browsing history, record their screens, or send them a message.
Enhancing Academic Integrity
Secure Testing: Use the "Lock Screen" feature and Allow-List Web Rules to limit student access only to the testing platform during quizzes and exams. Preventing Cheating/Plagiarism: Instantly close tabs for prohibited sites (like online answer keys or non-approved research tools). Evidence Collection: Screen recording provides documentation of off-task behavior or policy violations for necessary administrative follow-up.
Maximizing Chromebook Management
Real-Time Monitoring: View live screens of all students at once to quickly identify off-task behavior before it becomes a distraction. Instant Redirection: Use Close Tab or Send Link to immediately get students onto the correct assignment, saving valuable minutes of instruction time. High-Level Focus: Lock all screens to stop work and ensure attention is on you for critical directions or complex concepts.
Locking Screen for All Students
Click "More Actions" Under the "All Students" box, select "Lock Screen" To Resume: Select "Unlock Screen"
Using Ad hoc will be most effective for our A/B Day schedule!
Promoting Digital Citizenship
Visual Accountability: The knowledge that their screen is viewable encourages students to practice responsible digital behavior. Timely Feedback: Address off-task behavior instantly and non-verbally, helping students develop self-management skills in a technology-rich environment.
Quick, One-on-One Support
Private Intervention: Use the Messaging feature to discreetly check in with a student who seems confused or distracted, providing targeted support without disrupting the whole class. Monitoring Engagement: Use the Activity Dashboard to track browsing history and time spent on educational sites versus distracting sites, helping you gauge general class engagement.
With Lightspeed Classroom's 'merge classes' feature, quickly combine multiple courses and sections to easily monitor and manage students attending the same sessions. Manage and monitor your classes all in one place for a streamlined workflow, real-time visibility, and enhanced learning experiences.
