hello this is Mike with securely and I want to spend the next few minutes talking with you about how to install and how to use securely home securely home is a parent engagement app that was released by securely ink and your school district uses the curly as a as a partner in student safety so we're here to help keep your kids safe when they're online and one of the ways in which we do that is by offering a free appearance in where you can go into the app and you can see what your kids are are are searching what sites are visiting videos they're watching you can also control screen time so a little bit more about that later I'm the first thing that's going to happen is your school Patrick is going to send you an email and it's going to let you know the day on which they intend to give you access to the secure link home app so what happens is your school district will enable your access and once they do that you will get an email from 6 early that email will contain a link to let you go into your respective App Store and you'll be able to get securely home for free so once you install securely as you see here it's going to and I'm going up it's going to ask you to enter your e-mail address and this is the email address that the school uses took on to communicate with you and you will click get instant access so we can enter the email address that your school has on file for you and what parents can do this both of you can set this up as long as you have an email address on file with the school you you can enter your email address to click get instant access and then we are going to shoot an email over to your inbox you go to your email open up that email from securely click the link and that link is going to take you then directly into the app once you're in the app you'll see here you got the activity feed Flags activity rules offline schedule and then the Paul's by down at the bottom so let's start with the activity fee the activity feed is going to show you 30 days of activity basically what's your your each individual child has done on their school only issued device so you'll be go to see over the last 30 days what sites they visited what in videos they watch things like steaks that they tried to get to but then walk from so you'll see is an example you know I have some YouTube videos here I can click on it to see what it was and it's going to take me YouTube and they said might see my child watch how do airplanes fly right so you can see what they're watching they search searching for things but searching for the New Deal Searching for ft are right so they're they're engaging in their social studies lesson we all so as a student Safety Company are going to flag any searches that are indicative of bullying self-harm or violence we know that and we know that this is a really tough time for students with everything going on and we know sometimes you students will unfortunately turn to a search engine you know to get some answer so when they're searching for things that essentially are dealing with with violence or self-harm and we want to make sure the parent is aware of it so we are going to flag that were you I'm so again that's part of the activity seems so activity you're going to see sites videos searches you know basically everything the child has been on that school no device over the last 30 days when you get in this is what I was I was just explaining to you again you'll see the student here search for painless ways to kill myself Suicide Hotline suicide methods I'm obviously this is just here for examples but we know that you know sometimes students struggle with demons of self-harm or suicide and suicide is the second leading cause of death for middle and high school age kids in United State according to the CDC so you know we're going to fly those searches for you we can even send you an alert in real time if you can figure during apps that if you can figure it to do so the next part is the rules rules is where you can go in and then whatever access your district has given you to allow or deny sites you can come in here and do again it is completely up to the to the school district to determine the levels of access that parents have for this feature so when you go in you if things are not great out it means you have the ability but you can come in as a parent and say you know streaming media I don't want that you're not going to play games on the device so you block that literally if you click to toggle very easy so if I want to go up here you can see other adult content is allowed now I can block that so you can see and have the peace of mind that drugs gambling adult content hate social networking streaming media you all these things you know I bet you may have concerns with our are going to be blocked so is that to block a whole category you can also go in and block by individual site let's say the child is spending too much time on Netflix you can go in you just type in netflix.com you dinner and now Netflix is going to be blocked for that particular child until you go back in and allow it so we know once once I would let you know they show me that they've done their school work and everything for the dentist for the play is done I can go back into the settings I just a little Trash Can there I'm going to click on that and then Netflix is now unblocked so very easy to set up of the next part is offline schedule and what else my schedule allows you to do is go Mac and pads in a full control over screen so let's say I want to have a time that said every night where I know my child is not going to be able to access the internet when their school device I'll come in here and I'll set the time for it to turn off so let's say let's set it at 8:30 p.m. and then wake up at 7 a.m. so essentially once I saved this Friday through through Saturday that's the weekend time and then you also see the school nights there but those are going to the options you can choose from and that's that those are the times you can set there going to be off limits for the for the kids so can you see school night Sunday through Thursday you set the time weekends Friday and Saturday you know you can play with it here I can give him a a bit longer of use of the device on the weekend but that's that's all you do is talk with those back and forth you had saved in the top right corner and now you have those recurring times during school nights and during the weekend which that device is not going to be able to access the internet then you can set up a things like a dinner time outdoor play do you can create an unlimited amount of recurring times in which your kids can not access the internet on the school-issued device the last piece is the pause button you'll see down at the bottom so the pause button what it allows you to do in addition to the offline schedules you said if you need to immediately pause access for a given. Of time you know let's say you're working children learning remote you're working remote you got a big call you don't want them online during that time you can go in and then pause it and when your your call is over you unpause it so again very easy literally just push pause you want the device to stop connecting to the internet and when you want it back online you unpause it so that is a high-level overview of Securities home of Securities home app for parents against your district is going to communicate you with you about the date at which you will have access to this you'll go to your app store you will install securely home you'll enter your email address once you do that in and hit send or going to have an email from us that will give you instant access into your app and then you have the visibility into the activity seats rules flagged activity offline schedules and the pause feature and we do have support if you end up with questions if you'll go into the menu you can go down here to help at the bottom we do have a frequently asked questions section for you we also have a support ticket system so you just click on the the support icon you will enter your e-mail address and fill out this information below in one of our dedicated parents support analysts will reach back out to you with a solution whether it's how do I have you block a certain site or any other question that you may have about the app so that's it again thank you so much for watching this video in we really hope you enjoy using the app and engaging with your kids with what they're learning and what they're doing and being a partner in in their education so thank you
