Linewize Classwize - update your Focus plans ready for Term 2
As staff head into the April break, it's worth encouraging teaching staff to take a few minutes to refresh their Classwize Focus Plans, so they can start Term 2 with clear expectations, fewer distractions, and more time for teaching.
To support teachers, we’ve also released two NEW Academy training videos (available from the Classwize platform) designed to make classroom management even easier:
Student Screens: Troubleshoot Devices with Ease
Quickly identify and resolve missing screens with real-time visibility and simple troubleshooting tools - no more guesswork.
Share Your Screen to Student Devices
Instantly share your screen to every device in the class to keep students aligned, engaged, and on task.

Set Parents and Families Up for Success This Term Break
The upcoming April/Easter break is a perfect time to support parents in guiding their children toward healthy, balanced technology use. Your school’s Online Safety Hub is full of practical resources designed to inform, empower, and guide families:
- Creating a Tech Family Agreement – Help families set clear expectations around device use.
- Is Your Child's Screen Stealing Their Sleep (and Their Smarts)? – Tips to support healthy routines and rest.
In addition, the Qustodio parent tools give families practical ways to monitor and manage screen time, keeping students focused and safe while learning at home.
If your school hasn’t yet launched Qustodio to your parent community, now is the perfect time to speak with your Success Managers - Suzi or David to learn how you can share these invaluable resources and help parents feel confident supporting their children over the break.

Qustodio’s new Gaming Alerts feature gives parents timely notifications about voice chat in popular Windows games like Steam, Roblox, Valorant, and Fortnite. With clear summaries of potentially concerning interactions, parents can support safer, more informed online play.
PULSE - Pausing student check-ins during the school holidays
Pulse
When Pause is active, students won’t be able to complete check-ins or submit help requests. If they do try to open Pulse, they’ll still be shown your external support options, so help is never out of reach.
If you’ve configured your school term dates in Pulse, it can automatically pause during the holidays, making it one less thing for your team to manage.
And if want to still have students able to complete check-ins during the holidays, just can switch OFF the auto-pause in your Pulse settings.
Need a hand checking your term dates or tweaking your external support resources? Just reach out to your Pulse Account Manager (accountmanagement-au@linewize.io).
New Lock to Page Feature in Classwize
Classwize
The new Lock to Page feature in Classwize gives teachers the ability to lock students to specific webpages during class time. Ideal for reading tasks, online assessments, or quizzes, it ensures students stay focused on exactly the resource you’ve set - no extra tabs or distractions.
Using Focus, teachers can apply Lock to Page to the whole class or selected students, keeping learning on track with just a few clicks. (Available for students on Chromebooks and Windows devices in Companion mode.)
NEW Classwize Academy Training Videos
Classwize
We've added an additional two new training videos for teachers - "Student Screens: Troubleshoot Devices with Ease", and "Share Your Screen to Student Devices". Both of these videos are available now from the Academy section of Classwize.
Chromebook App Filter
Linewize Filter
We’re excited to share the new Chromebook App Filter - giving schools greater control over app access on student Chromebooks.
This new inclusion helps Chromebook school manage and monitor installed apps, supporting safer, more focused learning on ChromeOS devices while giving you greater insight into student digital activity.
The filter expands protection beyond the Chrome browser, helping ensure filtering applies across the entire Chromebook device - not just within Chrome.
We’ve also included helpful articles to guide you through setup and make it easy to implement in your school.
Promote and Share the Online Safety Hub - Staff Section
The Staff section of the Online Safety Hub gives educators access to curriculum-aligned lessons, practical resources, and expert guidance - helping your team confidently teach digital citizenship and respond to online safety challenges in the classroom.
