When and how does Go Guardian operate?
GoGuardian’s web-based services operate on our school’s managed Google Suite for Education Chrome accounts (i.e., when a student is logged into Chrome or a Chromebook with his/her school email address). This is an expectation.
When a student is off campus, parents are responsible for supervising internet access and usage. We encourage you to discuss rules for appropriate internet usage with your child, and reinforce lessons of digital citizenship and safety with him or her. We also highly encourage you to report any potential cyberbullying or other sensitive issues to us.
Teachers can…
- Chat one on one with students (quick feedback)
- See screen shots AND tabs students have open during that class
- Can limit tabs open, distractions, inappropriate websites AND can exit of out tabs that are not necessary
- Print out history for students (during the class time)
Reasons why it’s important:
- Help see what students need help or more structure
- Keep social media at a minimum
- Less distractions
- Keeping students focused on learning
Go Guardian enables teachers to use GoGuardian Teacher with students in their classes only during school hours from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
