Shel™ edits content in real time — bleeping one word from a documentary so the lesson continues. Every other product blocks the entire video. CIPA compliant. Half the cost of GoGuardian.
One platform. Every device. Home and school.
Shel™ bleeps profanity from video and music apps from videos playing in class. Teachers can show educational content without worrying about one inappropriate word stopping the lesson.
Teacher taps Focus Mode — every student device immediately locks to only approved sites. One tap to release. No IT ticket required.
Students install the Shel™ app with a 6-character join code. No MDM enrollment. No school control of the personal device. Parents are more willing to allow it.
Val™ detects early signs of depression, anxiety, bullying, and self-harm — before it becomes a crisis. Private alerts go to the counselor, not the teacher.
One-click CIPA compliance report generated automatically every month. Formatted for E-rate applications. IT directors get their Friday afternoons back.
Families using Shel™ at home and school see one dashboard. Val monitors across both environments. No other product follows the child from school to home.
