ManagedMethods Classroom Manager is a browser extension-based classroom management tool built specifically to help teachers keep students focused, engaged, and learning online. Designed for today’s digital classrooms, it gives educators real-time visibility into student browser activity and simple controls to guide instruction, such as redirecting students to approved resources, blocking distracting websites, and locking screens when needed.
Classroom Manager integrates with popular SIS platforms for seamless, automated rostering, ensuring classes are always up to date without manual setup. Its integration with ManagedMethods Content Filter gives IT teams centralized policy control while empowering teachers to allow or block specific websites during class—without submitting tickets or waiting on IT.
By reducing distractions and simplifying technology management, Classroom Manager helps teachers teach confidently and enables students to stay focused, participate actively, and make the most of every learning minute.
"Our teachers love using ManagedMethods' Classroom Manager!” says one district administrator. “It’s easy to navigate, keeps students focused, and eliminates distractions. The simple, intuitive interface allows teachers to seamlessly manage their classrooms, personalize learning when needed, and customize Classes to fit their unique teaching style and student needs—making lessons more engaging and effective."
Empowering Teachers And Supporting IT Teams
Classroom Manager is being used to create more focused, productive learning environments. Teachers use it during live instruction to view students' browser activity in real time, redirect off-task tabs, push approved websites, and lock screens to regain attention, reducing distractions, increasing engagement, and keeping lessons on pace.
At the school level, instructional leaders rely on it to reinforce responsible technology use. Because it integrates with popular SIS platforms, class rosters stay up to date automatically, eliminating manual setup and saving valuable time at the start of each term.
At the district level, IT teams benefit from its integration with ManagedMethods Content Filter. While IT maintains centralized web filtering policies, teachers can allow or block specific sites during class without submitting tickets, streamlining workflows and reducing IT support tickets.
Together, this empowers teachers to lead engaging lessons, supports students in staying focused, reduces IT workload, and helps align instructional needs with technology oversight.
Purpose-Built For The Realities Of K-12
Classroom Manager stands out in the market because it was built from a cybersecurity-first foundation specifically for K–12 schools. As part of the unified ManagedMethods suite, it works with Cloud Monitor and Content Filter to align classroom engagement with district-wide security and compliance policies.
Unlike tools that rely on invasive tactics such as camera access, screen recordings, or keystroke logging, Classroom Manager focuses on guiding student attention while respecting privacy. Teachers get real-time browser visibility and simple controls to redirect focus and engage students, while IT teams retain centralized policy oversight. Through its integration with Content Filter, teachers can allow or block specific websites during class without involving IT—reducing friction and support tickets.
The result is a solution that unites IT oversight with instructional empowerment, is easy to deploy and use, privacy-conscious, and purpose-built for the realities of modern K–12 learning needs.

Balancing Focus, Flexibility, Compliance, and Privacy
Classroom Manager solves one of the biggest challenges in modern K–12 classrooms: keeping students focused and engaged in a 1:1 device environment without turning teachers into tech enforcers. It gives teachers real-time visibility into student browser activity and simple tools to redirect attention, block distractions, and guide students to the right resources, helping to reduce off-task behavior and reclaim instructional time.
For administrators, it addresses the tension between maintaining digital safety policies and supporting instructional flexibility. Through integration with ManagedMethods Content Filter, IT teams can enforce district-wide CIPA compliance policies while allowing teachers to temporarily allow or block specific sites during class without submitting help desk tickets.
It also reduces setup headaches through SIS integrations for automated rostering, reducing manual class creation.
Ultimately, Classroom Manager helps schools balance focus, flexibility, compliance, and privacy. It helps to improve classroom engagement while minimizing IT workload and avoiding surveillance-style tools that can create community concerns.
