Classwize review
A broad toolkit for supervising student devices and managing access during live lessons.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Classwize, currently presented by Linewize as Linewize Classroom Manager, helps schools and districts manage student online activity during lessons. It is designed for teachers and administrators supervising managed BYOD environments across Chromebooks, Windows devices, and Macs. Teachers can view student screens, control website and app access, pause internet access, manage tabs, communicate with students, and review activity reports from classroom-level controls.
Its standout capability is the combination of live visibility and immediate intervention. Teachers can see student activity in real time, open tabs for individual students or an entire class, close tabs on supported devices, and apply focus rules that allow or restrict specific sites. Internet pause can target an individual, group, or full class. Screenshot History and Student Journey reports add a record of activity, while behavior rewards can provide temporary access to restricted content. This makes Classwize suited to lessons where teachers need active oversight rather than basic attendance or assignment management.
Classwize also fits environments that already use Google Classroom, student information systems, or third-party web filters. Teacher-to-student and class communication are included, and the published positioning emphasizes reducing reliance on IT for classroom-level access changes. Pricing uses a contact-sales model, so buyers should expect a sales-led evaluation rather than a self-serve purchase path. Schools looking for live screen supervision, filtering, device controls, and behavior features in one product should consider Classwize; teams needing only simple classroom organization may find its control scope broader than necessary.
