Reflection

GoGuardian can help enhance the classroom by allowing students the ability to work digitally, but with the limitations to keep them on task. GoGuardian has functions that allow the number of tabs to be limited, a list of sites that students cannot access during a session (called a scene) and functions where the teacher can shut tabs or simply view a student's screen. I use GoGuardian especially while my students are taking a Formative quiz so that I can ensure they are focused only on the task at hand, not switching between tabs or trying to find answers. 

GoGuardian can help students remain focused in class when the temptation to explore other websites is eliminated. Students will automatically be less likely to get on random websites if they know the teacher has access to see what they are doing. I can use this when I am giving a quiz with Formative. I warn the students that I have GoGuardian running so that if they try to cheat or search the question, I can see what they are doing. It keeps students honest.
