Blocksi, a US-based EdTech provider with global reach, delivers a cloud-based, AI-powered platform for K-12 schools, focusing on classroom management, district-wide internet filtering, and 24/7 student safety. With over a decade of experience and SOC 2 Type II certification (CIPA/FERPA compliant), Blocksi helps teachers, IT administrators, school leaders, and parents create safe, focused learning environments through intuitive dashboards for in-school and remote settings. Its multi-layered web filtering spans over 85 web categories and 30 YouTube categories, supporting school-issued and BYOD devices (ChromeOS, Windows, macOS) with DNS, time, and policy controls, plus anti-theft features like geolocation and device locking. Teachers use real-time screen monitoring, attendance tracking, AI-generated quizzes, and plagiarism checks to personalize instruction and save time. AI-driven safety alerts, backed by human review, monitor Google and Microsoft platforms for risks like cyberbullying or self-harm, providing actionable insights. Blocksi’s scalable tools enhance student engagement and protect data, making modern classrooms more effective.
