BrainStorm Poconos 2025 Presentation: Does your Chromebook Filter Use Advanced AI? Ours Does! Say Hello to Deledao!

Does your Chromebook Filter Use Advanced AI? Ours Does! Say Hello to Deledao! November 18, 2025 9:45 AM-10:45 AM New York State Technology Director (and formerly classroom teacher) Mr. Rob Zdrojewski will demonstrate how Deledao has changed the game of Chromebook filtering and classroom monitoring with their patented advanced AI capabilities not seen in our previous Chromebook filtering platform. Making the switch was seamless, and changed our philosophy of having to maintain all-or-nothing "allowed" and "blocked" lists. Watching videos? Doing a Google image search? AI can blur images/video in REALTIME, making it possible to use sites that contain a variety of good/bad content. Plus you can give teachers the ability to handle unblock requests themselves during their class period, reducing wait time for the IT staff to take action. This session will cover the admin and teacher aspects of Deledao, showcasing how an integrated solution that leverages AI can handle to...
