It gives administrators the ability to monitor and filter devices inside and outside their networks. Relay, the innovative cloud-based solution from Lightspeed Systems, extends safety anywhere the devices go, no matter how they connect to the internet. This is where Lightspeed’s newest solution, Relay, takes charge.

“We at Lightspeed Systems found that the IT Departments needed smarter tools, including a powerful and dynamic content filter for their mobile learning programs that can keep students safe and on task,” says Brian Thomas, President and CEO, Lightspeed Systems. Since its inception, Lightspeed Systems has supported IT in K-12 schools and helped them prepare students for life in a technology-rich world. They need to find a way to filter those devices off-campus, making sure inappropriate content is blocked and activity is reported.įor Wilson County’s IT department and many others, the answer to this long-standing dilemma came through Relay, a cloud-based solution from Lightspeed Systems. With devices in students’ hands, on and off the network across the district, the IT department needs to make sure those devices are used safely and effectively.

It’s an exciting program for all the stakeholders involved, but the devices themselves are just the first step. Similar initiatives are taking place across many school districts in the U.S. Getting devices into students’ hands will let the school easily take advantage of online curriculum, learn critical technology skills, and better reach Common Core goals. Many of these students even get to take their assigned device home at the end of each day, opening up 24/7 learning opportunities. They currently have 12,500 Chromebooks, assigned 1:1 for some grades and schools and for shared use among the other students.

Take the case of Wilson County Schools in Tennessee that is rolling out Chromebooks in a big way. No walls, no desks, nor papers education sector today is undergoing a massive transformation powered by new learning methods and devices.
