Season 2 Episode 3 The IT Teachers’ Podcast : The Guardians of Tech- Exploring Go Guardian

During Season 2 Episode 3 of The IT Teachers' Podcast, Alicia and Haley explore the Education Management Platform: Go Guardian 

Join Alicia and Haley as they discuss: 

         ✅ Convenience  🏪

• • Setting Scenes (allow only sites that you use daily and those you want to allow or disallow students to use during your class time with them each day)
  • Easily change class times in the event of an assembly OR shortened day
  • Configure your calendar and your classes will start automagically!
  • Easily check which websites are blocked for students in your district  to be sure your lessons or activities will work on student devices
  • Easily block sites in the moment

         ✅ Classroom Communication ☎️

• • Chat feature a great perk: 1:1 facilitation or personal student needs kept private
  • YOU CAN SEND A BLAST to the whole class at the same time!  
  • Sharing your screen!  You can share your screen using Go Guardian without having to be on a Google meet!
  • Can use the chat for online after school sessions and keep a record of your interactions with students

         ✅ Data  💻

• • Email Report- GoGuardian will email you and any recipient(s) below with an attached PDF of the report, along with an optional message from you.
  • Reports include:  sites used, time spent on task, etc.  Great for data collection concerning student engagement
  • Screen Shot student screens

          ✅  Tips and Tricks  💁‍♀️

• • Districts can offer parents/ guardians the options to monitor and set parameters regarding their student's device use
  • Inquire about limiting the time frame for teachers to view screens
  • Go Guardian has an excellent Help Center
  • Go Guardian is always improving their platform and actively seek feedback
