Using Visual Web Scan

How to Get the Most out of Your Reports

  • Take the time to review your report whenever you receive a notification.
  • Periodically spot-check by using Supplemental Searches.
  • Keep your Visual Web Scan Profile up to date.
  • Keep your contact information current.
When entering your name use the name are most likely to use online. For example, if your name is "Rebecca Smith" but everyone calls her "Becky", enter "Becky Smith".

And remember, if you are a parent running reports on your child, follow these important steps:

  1. Tell Your Child
  2. Tell Your Child
  3. Tell Your Child
Our hope is that our children lead sensible online lives and that we never have to find anything questionable or damaging. The best way to achieve this is to let our kids know that an adult is watching. In most aspects of child’s life - at school, at home, at a friend’s house - there is an adult present – someone to whom the child must answer for their behavior; this dynamic did not exist online until now. Student Inspector provides this deterrent effect, but only if you, the parent, let your kids know you are using it.
