  • YouTube Channel 

However you approach online safety, Mobile Guardian allows for a customised and unique solution to keep undesirable content from your student’s devices.

Here’s an example of how you may set up your Web Filtering controls.

The URLs in our database are grouped according to Website Categories, enabling the broad application of restrictions to particular content. 

  • Should the category “Games” be blacklisted, no content categorised as such will be accessible via students devices, wherever they are located.
  • In addition to this, blacklisting the keyword “Fortnite” will ensure that no form of content related to Fortnite is accessible.

This double-measure will prevent students from accessing any games on their device, and any content related to or containing the keyword Fortnite.

This combination of measures provides a multi-phased approach to ensuring that the devices are safe, secure, and distraction-free.
