Real-time classroom monitoring for the 1:1 device era
Phantom gives teachers live visibility into every student screen — blocking distractions and keeping classes on task.
Students are off-task and teachers are blind
- 1:1 devices are everywhere. Over 90% of US schools now provide every student with a Chromebook or laptop — but with no way to see what's on those screens.
- Students spend ~40% of class time off-task. Social media, games, and YouTube are one tab away. Teachers can't compete with the internet by walking around the room.
- Teachers have zero real-time visibility. They see the backs of laptop lids, not screens. Off-task behavior goes unnoticed until grades drop.
- Existing solutions are bloated and expensive. GoGuardian and Securly charge $8–12 per student, require lengthy district procurement cycles, and bundle features most teachers never use.
Phantom: lightweight, fast, and built for districts
- Live view of every student screen. A real-time tile grid shows teachers exactly what each student is doing — updated every few seconds.
- Instant site blocking. Scene-based web filtering lets teachers allow or block categories of sites with one click. No waiting for IT.
- Students auto-connect. The Chrome extension handles everything. Teachers open their dashboard and students appear automatically — zero setup friction.
- District-wide deployment in minutes. Push the Chrome extension via Google Admin Console. No software to install, no servers to manage, no training needed.
