Learn how these enhancements can help you start class faster, support differentiated instruction, and confidently manage digital learning throughout the school day.

Start class faster with Auto-Start Student Groups

With Auto-Start Student Groups, teachers can now predefine student groups and group-specific settings that automatically apply when a session begins.

With Auto-start Student Groups, teachers can:

• Automatically apply preconfigured student groups at the start of a session
• Assign group-specific Scenes and settings ahead of time
• Reduce interruptions caused by manually adjusting settings during class
• Transition more seamlessly between whole-class and small-group instruction

Coming soon: Visibility into AI usage

Prompt visibility will show how students interact with AI tools by offering insight into both student prompts and AI-generated responses. Designed to support instructional integrity and oversight, prompt visibility will help schools better understand AI usage trends while providing educators and administrators with greater transparency into student interactions with AI-powered tools.

Simplify classroom management with smarter visibility and controls

Several enhancements to GoGuardian Teacher have been designed to help educators maintain focus, reduce disruptions, and manage classrooms more efficiently.

Stay informed with Off-Task Alerts

Off-Task Alerts uses AI to help teachers quickly identify when students may be viewing content unrelated to the current class subject. Educators can select a subject area, adjust alert sensitivity, and review alerts directly within their active session.

With visual indicators built directly into the classroom experience, teachers can more easily identify students who may need redirection and provide support before distractions impact learning.

Resolve Scene conflicts before they disrupt learning

Managing multiple instructional experiences is easier with improved Scene Conflict Resolution. GoGuardian Teacher now helps identify overlapping or conflicting Scenes and provides clearer visibility into the source of the conflict. By surfacing potential issues earlier, educators can quickly make adjustments and keep instruction running smoothly.

Manage multiple classes as one

Whether you're teaching combined sections, mixed-grade groups, or classes with roster variations, Merge Classrooms allows you to combine up to five classes into a single GoGuardian Teacher session.

Students remain organized by their original class while schedules, settings, and historical data stay intact. This flexibility makes it easier to manage larger learning groups without sacrificing organization.

Observe learning as it happens

Classroom Screen Monitoring gives teachers visibility into student screens and browsing activity during active sessions. With insights into student activity, educators can quickly identify distractions, provide support, and keep students engaged throughout the lesson.

Guide students to the right resources faster

Screen Redirect capabilities help teachers bring students to the right content quickly. Open Tabs, Focus Tabs, and other remote tab management tools reduce time spent navigating resources and help ensure students are ready to learn together.

Welcome back to school! We hope you embrace these upgrades in your next GoGuardian Teacher session.
