Reflection

GoGuardian is a great website for monitoring students' work on a Chromebook. It allows the teacher to facilitate the app that helps students learn safely, stay focused, and get engaged. I wish I would have known about this when I was teaching 5th grade in previous years. It would have allowed me to make sure that the students were on task and searching for information on the correct platforms. It is sometimes hard to monitor 24 Chromebooks, especially during times like block. This would have been a very useful tool.

I was somewhat familiar with GoGuardian and what it generally did; but was never able to see the interface and use it as I am not a classroom teacher.  I wanted to become more familiar with it because it is something that our teachers use.  I am so glad I was able to log in and see how it works so that I can be more knowledgeable when speaking about it and hearing about it throughout the school.  I think this is a great tool to keep students on task as well as monitoring their content for things that may need to be addressed by administration or counseling.

I love the idea of being able to give the students the freedom with their Chromebooks, yet still having control of how they use it :)

By using GoGuardian, I will be able to monitor my students' on-line activity during class time so I can make sure they are all working productively on their Chrome books.  

I am excited to use the program. I will use it in my Psychology elective course. They research disorders as part of their final projects. During the research phase, they sometimes get distracted and need reminding to stay on task.  This is an excellent program to teach students accountability. 

GoGuardian is new to me.  This would be helpful in my first grade classroom because I often have kids who are having trouble closing out tabs because they have opened too many and can hear multiple websites at once.  Using GoGuardian would allow me to see what they are seeing on their Chromebooks.  I also like that I can monitor what they are doing and make sure they are on the games or activities I want them to be on.

Once I feel comfortable using GoGuardian in the classroom I think it will be very useful. On a daily basis I will be able to ensure that students are doing what they are supposed to be working on when Chromebooks are out. I can also help direct students to helpful websites when the class is doing research. That can be a timesaver.

Go Guardian is new to me as a Kindergarten teacher.  I did not know much about how to use it.  It would be a great way for me to help my students navigate their chrome books, as everything is new to them this year.  It would be an easy way for me to see what they are working on and if they get into "trouble" while trying to use different programs.  Very useful and informative session.

As a primary teacher, I did not know this tool was available.  As my kindergarten students learn to navigate their Chromebooks, I love the idea that I can monitor all 20 devices.  This is a great tool for the classroom! 

I believe that go guardian gives me the ability to monitor and help direct online learning more effectively. I can see what the students see and know that they are in the assignment, sites and working in a positive directions. With out this type of tool any online assignments or computer based learning is a gamble since students have the ability to wonder and get distracted easily. I like that I can redirect individually, guide some of the views, and over all know that the time spent on the computer in class is being used efficiently.

GoGuardian is fabulous tool that allows teacher's to specify what type of sources that students should be on while during lessons. You are able to track students abilities to what type of websites they might be using whether they should be on them or not. It is very nice that co-teacher's and other staff have the option of being part of a specific class if they are filling in. 

I love this webpage because it allows us as teachers to see what the students are doing while helping other students.  It holds students accountable for doing their work as they know we can see what they are working on.  We have started using this as students work on their projects and it is so helpful.  3rd graders especially love to see their classmates staying on task as well!
