Getting Started with KyberClassroom

KyberClassroom is KyberGate's real-time classroom management tool that gives teachers direct control over student devices during instruction. Teachers can monitor screens, push URLs, restrict browsing, and lock devices — all from a simple web-based dashboard.

Before You Begin

  • Student devices must be enrolled in KyberGate and online
  • Teachers need a KyberGate account with the Teacher role (or higher)
  • Classes must be set up in KyberGate (synced via Google Workspace, Clever, or manually created)
  • A modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox)

Accessing KyberClassroom

  1. Log in to your KyberGate dashboard at dashboard.kybergate.com
  2. Click "KyberClassroom" in the left sidebar
  3. Select your class from the class list
  4. You'll see a device grid showing all enrolled student devices

The Device Grid

The device grid is the heart of KyberClassroom. Each tile represents one student device and shows:

  • Student name and device type (iPad, Chromebook, macOS, Windows)
  • Live thumbnail of the student's current screen (updates every few seconds)
  • Current URL the student is browsing
  • Status indicator: 🟢 Online, 🟡 Idle, 🔴 Offline
  • Alert badge if the student triggered a safety alert

Click any tile to expand it for a larger view of that student's screen.

Classroom Modes

KyberClassroom has three operating modes:

1. Monitor Mode (Default)

  • Students browse normally within the school's filtering policy
  • Teacher can see all screens and activity
  • No additional restrictions applied
  • Best for: Independent work time, research projects

2. Focus Mode

  • Teacher locks students to a specific set of allowed URLs
  • Students can ONLY visit the approved sites
  • All other sites show a "Focus Mode" message
  • Best for: Guided lessons, specific web-based assignments

3. Restrict Mode

  • All internet access is blocked
  • Students see a "Restricted" screen
  • Devices can still run local/offline applications
  • Best for: Tests, transitions, direct instruction without screens

Quick Actions

From the device grid, teachers can:

  • Lock All Screens — Instantly blank all student screens with a custom message
  • Push URL — Send a website to all student devices, opening it in their browser
  • Send Message — Display a text message on all student screens
  • End Class — Return all devices to normal filtering policy

Tips

  • Start class in Monitor mode to see what students are doing before adding restrictions
  • Use Focus Mode for assignments — pre-load the URLs students need and they won't get distracted
  • Pin KyberClassroom to your browser toolbar for quick access during class
  • Screen Lock is instant — use it for "eyes on me" moments without disrupting the lesson flow

Troubleshooting

  • Student device not showing? Verify the device is online and enrolled in KyberGate. Check that the student is assigned to your class
  • Screen thumbnails not updating? The device may be on a slow connection. Try refreshing the page
  • Focus Mode not restricting? Ensure the URLs are entered correctly (include https://). Check that the device is routing through the proxy
  • Can't find KyberClassroom? Your account may not have the Teacher role — ask your KyberGate admin
