View the students’ browsing activity from previous days #
Teacher Assist is a tool that allows the teachers of Google Classrooms to view, control, and manage their students’ browsing activity.
Gain Complete Visibility into Past Student Web Engagement
While real-time screen monitoring keeps students on-task during live classroom sessions, reviewing past browsing activity is essential for evaluating long-term focus, digital safety, and productivity.
With Teacher Assist, educators can easily audit and review any student’s previous browsing activity across past days. Integrated seamlessly with Shield, this feature transforms historical web interactions into clear, intuitive chart views, displaying exactly which websites were visited, when they were accessed, and how much time was spent on each tab.
Whether conducting post-lesson assessments, verifying academic integrity, or identifying off-task distractions, Teacher Assist gives teachers the retrospective insights needed to guide student digital habits effectively.

The browsing activity is the audit of all the activities of the students for any chosen day.
- Pick a day – select a day from the calendar option
- Students – view each student as “active” for the given day and an audit of all the sites they visited and for how long they were opened
You can view the Classroom Insight directly in the Classroom insight audit in Teacher section of Teacher Assist.
To view it, navigate to Teacher Assist > Classroom audit > filter for specific Classroom name.
On the top search bar enter the classroom name.
As a result, you will see the classroom insight and find “Browsing history”.
Actionable Insights for Smarter Digital Classrooms
Reviewing historical browsing data does more than reveal off-task behavior, it provides a data-driven window into how students learn, research, and manage their screen time.
By transforming raw web logs into visual, time-stamped charts and detailed lists of visited sites, Teacher Assist empowers educators to hold informed check-ins, identify students who may need additional support, and continually refine classroom web filtering rules.
Take control of your digital learning environment with full visibility into past and present classroom browsing.
