GoGuardian for Teachers: Maximize Learning. Minimize Distractions

GoGuardian Teacher™ is a Chromebook-based application that allows teachers to maximize the benefits of digital learning in their classrooms.

GoGuardian for Teachers allows teachers to better understand and control the way Chromebooks are used in their classrooms. From a user-friendly portal, teachers are able keep students focused on lessons and resources, direct students to new tabs, and close off-topic tabs on one or multiple devices with the click of a mouse. GoGuardian for Teachers aids classroom focus and communication between teachers and students, increasing the value of other in-class softwares without interfering with their use.

Features include:

  • Screen Viewer
  • — live stream of students’ screens in a single window.
  • Activity Timeline
  • — real-time and historic insight into when, where, and how students are using devices.
  • Tab Control
  • — instantly send one or more students to a specific website in a new tab.
  • Attention Mode
  • — close tabs, darken screens, or lock devices for “eyes up front” focus.

Teachers cite “the ability to track student progress” and “turn classwork assignments into realtime learning experiences.” The insights GoGuardian for Teachers provides creates an “interactive, continuous learning and feedback dynamic,” facilitating “better communication and guidance” between educators and students.

GoGuardian for Admins: Protect your students -

and your devices.

Chromebooks are a great way for teachers to engage with students and provide access to resources. But with that opportunity comes the potential for students to stumble across harmful content or become distracted by videos, games, social media, and more.

With GoGuardian Admin™, not only are your students protected when they’re online, but you’ll also gain access to powerful analytics and data that can be used to improve learning.

Features Include:

  • Advanced YouTube™ Filter:
  • YouTube can be a great teaching resource, so it’s a shame that many schools are forced to block the whole site simply for lack of a better filter. With GoGuardian, you have precise control over which videos are viewable, creating a safe viewing environment for your students.
  • Customized Activity Flagging
  • : Marks questionable content for review without the need to blacklist entire sites. You can also flag specific searches or behaviors that might be harmful, and take appropriate action when needed thanks to instant email alerts.
  • Theft Recovery
  • : Find out what happened to those missing Chromebooks with just a few clicks. Once activated, GoGuardian Theft Recovery will provide vital information for fast recovery or reporting to authorities.
  • Constant Protection
  • : The Internet is always “on”—your filtering software should be, too. GoGuardian protects your students (and your devices) around the clock—both inside and outside the classroom.
