GoGuardian Launches Chromebook Management Tool for Teachers

GoGuardian, a provider of Chromebook management and protection software for schools, has unveiled GoGuardian for Teachers, a classroom management tool designed for Chromebooks.

GoGuardian is designed for schools with 1-to-1 Chromebook initiatives. It provides teachers with a portal to direct students' attention to specific online resources and close off-topic tabs on one or more devices. The goal of GoGuardian for Teachers is to help keep students on-task and away from inappropriate content.

Key features of GoGuardian for Teachers include the following:

  • Screen Viewer, which provides a live stream of students' screens in a single window;
  • Activity Timeline, which includes real-time history of students' device activity;
  • Tab Control, which allows teachers can open a site in a new tab on one or more student devices; and
  • Attention Mode, which lets teachers close tabs, darken screens and lock devices to help direct students' attention.

Maria Bouletmis, a teacher at Coventry Public Schools in Rhode Island, has used GoGuardian and told the company she used it "to give helpful hints if I noticed student going in the wrong direction on an assignment" and "to provide praise for successful completion or effort during a task."

The company also offers GoGuardian for Administrators, which includes a YouTube filter, customized activity flagging, theft recovery and Internet filtering. The company offers free trial versions of both products.
