Most internet safety systems work by blocking websites in the browser one at a time. This leads to an ever-evolving game of whack-a-mole as students find new distractions and administrators attempt to block them. How about if you never had to supervise students screens????

Even when administrators ban all but a few sites, clever students are often able to circumvent the bans through other browsers or systems that they download onto the computer. We tried all the existing systems and students kept finding loopholes. This is why we decided to take a new approach. Instead of engaging at the browser level, the Zipline Computer goes to the heart of the issue. All Zipline computers have a customized operating system that removes the student’s ability to circumvent protections. The student either uses the controlled browser, which only accesses sites allowed by the teacher or administrator, or the student uses Zipline. There are no other options. By working all the way down to the operating system level, the Zipline Computer ensures students are safe and on task by removing all 3rd party distractions. This also removes the nightmare of network administration for your school. Smaller schools without a dedicated network administrator will find unparalleled ease of use.
