GoGuardian Launches Giant Steps Digital Learning Tool

Education technology provider GoGuardian has launched new digital learning tool designed to encourage both independent learning and collaboration. The tool, Giant Steps, provides a gamified learning experience across different subjects.

According to the company: "Giant Steps can be used in groups in the classroom or independently at home to practice information taught during class, revisit skills or standards that students may be struggling with, and reinforce prior knowledge before a lesson. Every detail of the product is designed to cultivate a growth mindset, increase motivation, and facilitate the creation of a positive learning community."

  • A library of standards-aligned resources;

  • The ability for teachers to add their own content for lessons; and

  • Automated student progress reporting, as well as real-time data on student progress.
