The Top Reasons Schools Monitor Students and Staff:

Strengthen Web Filters and Firewalls

While schools are required to provide filters to block inappropriate web sites, filters can sometimes be too restrictive or fail to block some inappropriate sites. Students also know how to circumvent filtering technology using proxy servers and other tricks. Spector 360 lets you track where students go on the Internet and how they got there.

Increase Time On Task and Learning

Significantly reduce the amount of time students goof off while in class or computer labs. Spector 360 can reduce game-playing and inappropriate web surfing by at least 75%. Imagine the increased achievement that just another 10 minutes of learning time per student per class would bring.

Identify/Investigate At-Risk Behavior

Any student or staff suspected of engaging in inappropriate, illegal, or unapproved conduct can be quickly investigated with Spector 360.

Enforce your Acceptable Use Policy

Students often believe that rules can be bent if no one is watching. Spector 360 is continually watching so student abuse is minimized. Lower the incidence of students trying to circumvent your firewall and filters, reduce the number of bad words typed and determine if students are being bullied online.

Monitor One to One Laptops

End student and staff abuse of laptops when they are away from campus. Spector 360 will continue to monitor student Internet and PC usage as well as block restricted web sites, even when computers are removed from the school network.
