Lightspeed Systems

“I’m very concerned about how long some vendors are keeping their customers’ data, even years after their contract has ended.”

“Ed Law 2-d was a challenge for everybody, but I’ve really learned a lot through this process,”

“We generate our approved applications in Lightspeed Digital Insight and have them posted in multiple places, including on our district website and within our learning management system, which parents have access to.”

“I like being able to quickly see how much we paid for a tool or if we have the contract yet.”

“Every new software purchase is entered into the system, how much we paid for it, when we purchased it, the renewal date, and the contract.”

“I like having all of our approved applications in one place,”

“With cybersecurity threats and data breaches on the rise, districts need to evaluate their current compliance practices to help safeguard their students’ data.”

“It’s critical for district leaders to see what applications and online tools are being used by students and teachers.”

“I regularly check my Lightspeed Digital Insight dashboard to monitor the trending apps being used in the district.”

“We have to get teachers what they want when they want it, but we also have to protect our kids,”

“The tool also shows how teachers can best roll out and begin using each app, while showing parents what apps we’re actually using. Lightspeed Digital Insight has really helped us.”

“We now have a committee that meets every month to evaluate apps from curriculum, privacy, and technology perspectives.”

“We had six or seven quiz applications in use, that’s highly inefficient. Educators might be logging in, downloading their class lists, and uploading in many systems without anybody’s knowledge. It’sscary stuff.”

““In my experience, [the implementation] helped me a lot. I pre-configured the systems so now I don’t have to spend time monitoring the actual server. It’s easier for us to push the [Filter] Agent through and manage everything through the web,  which saves me time. ””

““One of the reasons why we switched to cloud-based filtering was because we can maintain content filtering off-site,””

“Lightspeed has one of the best support systems I’ve ever worked with.”

“The [beginning of the pandemic] was very hectic, so in many ways I’m thankful we didn’t have to worry about the filtering.”

“Lightspeed is one of the few filters that are available without a big commitment to hardware.”

“Lightspeed Insight allows us to see similar systems used within our Trust, which helps us unify our approach and potentially take advantage of Trust discounts. Additionally, Lightspeed helps us identify programmes that may require Data Protection Impact Assessments that we weren’t previously made aware of, which is helping us stay GDPR compliant.”

“We decided to go with Lightspeed Insight because it helps us track the financial viability of our educational programmes.”

“They’ve been quick to respond to any issues – not just with Classroom, but with any of the Lightspeed tools we use.”

“It integrated cleanly into our environment and didn’t require heavy configuration.”

“The product has been easy to manage. We’ve made very few changes from our initial setup,”

“We began getting requests from other teachers who wanted in on the pilot almost right away.”

“I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that Lightspeed Classroom is one of the most impactful and well-received tools we’ve implemented in recent years,”
