Reflection

GoGuardian's features can enhance my ability to create a more engaging and productive online learning environment for students by allowing me an easier way to monitor student Chromebooks during the school day when they are completing an assignment.  Thus, I will know what they do during school hours for searching and assignments and after school hours if Chromebooks are sent home.  I am very excited about this!

I didn't know how easy the interface was !  I know this will help (especially with the tricks that they found about minimizing the YouTube video but working on a google doc).

I feel that utilizing GoGuardian will encourage students to stay focused on the task at hand knowing that I can see what they are logging into during class. This will in turn help students to better manage their time and meet my expectations.

I'm a Special Ed teacher, and my students are easily distracted.  We use Google docs to create organizers and write essays.  This way, I can give feedback on their documents.

I find that some of my students would prefer to use their Chromebooks to game instead of working on an assignment.  I like the feature of being able to enlarge a student's screen to really see what he or she is doing. Being able to close out an open tab, such as a game instead of what they should be working on, is great!

GoGuardian's features are great to use in the classroom.  They can really help me ensure students are doing what they are supposed to be doing, and give me methods to present to them, or keep them on specific sites.  I have used the app to monitor computers in the past, but am excited to use it for viewing their timeline and presenting to students in the future.  

I have never used GoGuardian before but I am excited to get started. This is a great way to monitor student work during technology time. In my health class I usually have the students use their chromebooks to work on assignments at least 3 or 4 times per week. They usually are working in groups so this is a great way for me to see who is working and who might be off task. This is a lot easier than walking around the room to see if they are doing the correct thing since they may be able to just switch tabs when they see me coming over. 

In my Algebra 2 class i allow students to use their chrome books to help them review material and use filtered websites that will help them review.  I often find that the students find a away to look up answers on particular websites and apps.  This would allow me to monitor that without invading their space and potentially embarrassing them.

I think this will be helpful when students have to work on research or independent classwork on their Chromebook. I think to use it during block time when everyone is working on different things and different websites. I can make sure that students are working on what they are supposed to so they are being productive. I also like that I can see what websites they have been using and how long they are using certain ones. 

I love that I can monitor the amount of time on a particular site. This will be especially useful to see how long a student is using the practice activities assigned.  GoGuardian can create a more engaging and productive online learning environment for students. 

By implementing Go Guardian, I feel like students will have a sense that someone can be watching at all times and hopefully help them to stay on track. In elementary, it can also serve as a way to help students that may experiencing troubles on certain sites. 

I had not previously used LanSchool or GoGuardian. After watching the video I am excited to incorporate more online activities into my classroom. I think the ability close out student tabs and make sure they are on task will allow me to focus my efforts on giving immediate feedback while they are working on a problem or assignment. It will give me the ability to see everyone's work at the same time and jump in to address problems or misconceptions quickly.
