What is FaronicsDear Staff, This year, all teachers in your building may begin using Faronics Insight, a software product designed to support classroom management and display. When Faronics Insight is deployed, all students in the building using chromebooks may receive a pop-up asking them to allow permissions for the Faronics Insight extension. This software has been tested and is safe for students to allow permissions to use this extension. If students deny the Faronics Insight extension, it will continue to appear until they select allow. The pop-up will look like the following image: User OrientationPlease read this email VERY carefully to ensure your experience with Faronics is a happy one!

IF STUDENTS IN YOUR ROOM USE CHROMEBOOKS: Prior to using Faronics you have to set up your classroom channel. Your channel is specific to you and your class. It is very important that you set your channel prior to using Faronics. If you do not set your channel and decide to share your teacher screen, you will share your screen with ALL student chromebooks in the building. Take a look at this video to set up your channel. Your specific channel is listed in the table below. **The email I sent to you includes a spreadsheet with your name and channel you are assigned. If you are not on this spreadsheet and need a channel to use Faronics with your students, please let me know and I will update the sheet. After you set up your channel, the next step is to load your class list. This video will show you how to load your class list. Within this video, it does not show where to find the file but how to find it. The files are located on each school's S drive \Faronics\<teacher's username>. Starting the first day of school, these files are re-created on a nightly basis (at 2:00 AM). Quick GuideThere are a lot of things you can do with Faronics.
