Campus Technology’s Product of the Year Awards Program Recognizes Classroom Manager
BOULDER, Colo.—December 2, 2025—ManagedMethods, the leading provider of cybersecurity, safety, web filtering, and classroom management solutions for K-12 schools, is pleased to announce that Classroom Manager has won in this year’s Campus Technology 2025 Product of the Year Award in the Classroom Management, Culture, or Student Success System category.
“We’re honored that Classroom Manager has been named a 2025 Campus Technology Product of the Year,” said Charlie Sander, CEO of ManagedMethods. “This award is a testament to our team’s commitment to helping K–12 schools create safer, more focused digital classrooms. We’re proud to be recognized for delivering tools that make it easier for educators and IT teams to support student learning while maintaining visibility, safety, and control.”
ManagedMethods Classroom Manager Product Strengths
Classroom Manager is a browser-extension-based classroom management tool designed to make online instruction and learning more effective for teachers and students. It lets teachers monitor student device activity in real time, control what websites or apps students access, and redirect attention.
It is built with a security-first mindset. That makes it not just a classroom management tool, but one that aligns with concerns around student safety, appropriate browsing, and possibly data protection.
Given its real-time visibility and ability to redirect controls, the tool helps foster engagement and productive digital behavior, which are key factors in student success and classroom culture.
The tool was commended on its ability to:
- Alignment with Contemporary Needs: With the increasing use of Chromebooks and other devices in education, tools that give teachers real-time control and visibility are very valuable.
- Security and Instructional Balance: Because Classroom Manager is built with security in mind, it appeals both to IT/security teams and educators.
- Innovation in Classroom Management: Rather than just blocking sites, the ability to redirect focus presents a more nuanced, pedagogically oriented tool.
- Impact Potential: The tool’s design helps reduce distractions, improve instructional flow, and maintain a positive digital classroom culture, supporting the “culture of student success” mission of that award category.

About Campus Technology
Campus Technology addresses topics and trends relevant to higher education IT and administrative decision-makers who are experiencing disruptive challenges around IT infrastructure, data management, evolving instructional environments, emerging tech, and more.
Why This Matters Now
The timing of ManagedMethods’ recognition isn’t incidental. Schools and districts are navigating an era in which classroom instruction, device management, and student well-being are increasingly intertwined.
As learning continues to depend on digital tools, educators need visibility and control that enhances teaching rather than interrupts it. At the same time, IT teams are under pressure to safeguard student data, monitor online behavior, and support a rapidly expanding ecosystem of cloud-based apps.
ManagedMethods’ Classroom Manager sits at the intersection of these challenges. Its award signals a broader shift that has been long overdue. Schools no longer see classroom management and cybersecurity as separate conversations. Tools that can bridge education, safety, and responsible digital culture are quickly becoming essential infrastructure, where before they were optional add-ons.
This award reflects a moment in education where the ability to create focused, secure, and supportive digital learning environments has never been more critical. Classroom Manager’s recognition highlights the growing expectation that edtech must simultaneously protect students and empower teachers, all while being seamless.
