Reflection

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. 

In chemistry class, we often do online simulation activities to reinforce content and chemical processes. These simulations are often done individually on ChromeBooks. I love to have the ability to (1) make sure that my students are on task and (2) give them hints or feedback in real time by watching their progress through the simulation. By monitoring all of their screens, I can see when major misunderstandings are occurring and "pause" the simulations to do immediate interventions. This has been an amazing product to use in my classroom to allow for immediate informal assessment of understanding on virtual simulations and experiments. 

In my Health class I give them time to work on projects and useful websites.  Most students will use my class time to work on the appropriate work.  However I do have students that get off task, this is a good was to monitor that.

Since my students use their chromebooks daily for all lessons in my classroom, it is imperative for me to check to be sure they are on task.  It also helps me to be sure students are not lost with what they should pull up on their chrome-books.  

I am a previous LanSchool user and I have been using GoGuardian since the end of last year it is way more user-friendly. I love the features that GoGuardian provides from unlocking and locking devices to limiting tabs. I use this feature during block time when I am working with small groups of students. I have other students working on their Chromebooks and I only want them to be able to access certain websites and apps. 

I am so excited to use Go Guardian in my classroom, especially while students are working independently on their Chromebooks. I am looking forward to the lock tabs feature so my students can focus on the required work. I think the ability to close tabs will especially be helpful when my students are off task and on other websites that they shouldn’t be on. This website is going to be so great to keep my students on task in the classroom

GoGuardian is going to be great to help monitor many students at once. I can see using it during any chromebook time when I am co-teaching or when I have smaller groups and set them to an activity while I am assessing an individual student. I think students knowing that the teacher is watching will help with keeping kids on task. 

GoGuardian's web filtering capabilities help minimize distractions by blocking access to inappropriate or non-educational websites, allowing students to stay focused on their schoolwork. Activity monitoring enables teachers to identify and address students' needs promptly, ensuring that they are actively engaged in the learning process.
