If you have signed up to Qustodio through your school then, depending on your school’s settings, you may be able to apply your own rules on school-issued Chromebooks and Windows computers.
To check if you can do this, log in to your Qustodio account and go to your child’s Rules page. If you see a toggle with the text “Apply rules on school devices”, then you can customize your rules.
Simply switch on the toggle and then set the rules you want. Note that any rules you set will apply outside of school hours.
Which rules can I apply on school-issued devices?
Depending on the type of school device your child uses, you will be able to filter websites, set daily time limits, set app restrictions, and create routines.
Web filtering
The web filtering feature enables you to block web categories and specific websites, and to receive alerts when your child accesses websites you want to know about.
Note that your school may have some baseline filters which could override your own web filtering rules to ensure optimal safety for your child.
Daily time limits
The daily time limits feature lets you choose how much time your child can spend on their school device outside of school hours each day. When they reach their limit, their device will be blocked.
Games & apps
With games & apps, you can block apps you don’t want your child to use and set time limits for the others. Note that this is only available for school-issued Windows devices.
