Go Guardian is a tool for teachers to see what their students are viewing on their individual Chromebooks in the classroom. Teachers can import their classes into Go Guardian in a variety of ways. Once set up in Go Guardian, teachers can see what their students are doing during classtime. Teahcers can also close a tab if a student is on a site that the teacher would not like them to be on at that particular time.Teachers can also view a timeline and see where students have been visiting throughout a set time period. Teahers can also set up helpers in Go Guardian. Helpers can view where students are but cannot close tabs.
I can see how this would be very helpful for upper elementary, middle and high school teachers. As a primary teacher, I think Go Guardian would be most helpful as a tool to make sure my students are in the right place. We don't use screens a lot at all in my classroom. As a result, when we do, stuudents are not used to navigating and logging in correctly. Go Guardian could help me see that all my students are in the correct place. However, in kindergarten, it's boots on the ground and I will be certainly be moving among my students to help them and show them where to go and how to get there.
