GoGuardian Teacher is a cloud-based software that allows teachers and administrators to monitor student activity on Chromebooks and tablets. This product is widely used in schools with 1:1 Chromebook implementation to ensure a safe and productive learning environment. With GoGuardian Teacher, educators can view open tabs, send messages to students, and make real-time filtering decisions to allow or block websites.

Teachers appreciate the flexibility of accessing GoGuardian from any device, making it convenient for both virtual and in-person learning settings. The software not only helps create automated or directed instruction but also allows teachers to catch any issues during learning and instruction. By monitoring student usage, GoGuardian enables educators to identify and address any potential concerns in real-time.

In addition to monitoring student activity, GoGuardian is also valued for its communication capabilities. Teachers can use the software to communicate with students, set allowed websites, and establish specific hours for web browsing during the school day. Moreover, GoGuardian provides detailed reports of student usage, allowing educators to track progress and gain insights into individual student needs.

Overall, GoGuardian Teacher is an essential tool for teachers and administrators alike. It empowers them to effectively manage classroom activities, ensure online safety, and optimize instructional strategies based on real-time data.

Easy Account Setup: Many users have found the account setup process to be very easy, allowing them to quickly get started with the software. They have mentioned that the software's intuitive design and clear instructions make it a seamless experience.

Intuitive Navigation: Reviewers have consistently highlighted the software's intuitive navigation as one of its key strengths. This ease of use enables teachers to quickly familiarize themselves with the platform and effortlessly navigate through its features.

Real-time Monitoring: Several users appreciate the ability of the software to monitor students' screens in real-time, providing timely insights into their activities. This feature allows teachers to identify any distractions or issues promptly and address them effectively, enhancing student accountability and focus during online learning sessions.

Syncing Issues: Some users have experienced difficulty syncing students into the system, particularly when using Chromebooks and when the devices go in and out of sleep mode. This issue has been mentioned by multiple reviewers, indicating that it is a common problem.

Software Glitch: There is a need to debug a software glitch that causes students to not show up correctly in the software, despite being logged on to a Chromebook. Several users have reported this issue, highlighting its prevalence among customers.

Limited Device Compatibility: The software currently requires Google Chrome, which restricts its use to only Chromebook devices. Users would like the scope of device monitoring to be expanded to include laptops and desktop computers. This limitation has been brought up by multiple reviewers, suggesting that it is a significant drawback for many customers.

Users commonly recommend using GoGuardian Teacher for both remote and in-person teaching as it is a great tool for monitoring student device use. They find it very helpful for monitoring student behavior, limiting distractions during class, and knowing the progress of their students during online education. Users also suggest using GoGuardian Teacher to review what students are doing and manage their computer use effectively.

GoGuardian Teacher
8 years of experience
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
GoGuardian has been used during my entire time while employed in Prosper ISD (Prosper, TX) for the past 8 years. The software is used to monitor students' technology in class, create automated or directed instruction, and monitor students while they work to catch any issues that may have during learning and instruction on an assignment.
Pros and Cons
  • Student monitoring
  • Automating student learning resources
  • Differentiating instruction as needed for technology
Likelihood to Recommend
We use GoGuardian daily for monitoring students to ensure they are not off task, accessing inappropriate material at school, monitoring students during an assignment and more easily being able to help them if noticing they are struggling or in need of intervention on their work. It has also been used very well during times when schooling has been virtual as it has allowed us to more easily work with students who are not physically on campus.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
GoGuardian Teacher is used in our organization to monitor the virtual students during working hours. It is also used to block unauthorized web usage and as a chat platform to communicate with the students. It is also used to set allowed websites and set hours for the school day. Reports of student usage can also be accessed.
Pros and Cons
  • Block unauthorized websited
  • Monitor student activity
  • Create a calendar of school hours
Likelihood to Recommend
We have students that work remotely. Therefore, this is a great tool for monitoring their activity and ensuring that they stay on track and get the best experience possible with our program. Our students use school issued devices, so this is well suited for our program. If students were to use their own equipment, this software may be too intrusive and be less appropriate.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
All of the teachers use it to monitor our students during class. We used it for virtual and in-person learning this year, and we’ll continue using it in person moving forward. It’s so helpful to be able to track what students are doing during class time to make sure they’re following along.
Pros and Cons
  • Real-time monitoring
  • Ability to close tabs
  • Ability to lock screen
Likelihood to Recommend
GoGuardian Teacher is really awesome for teachers because it’s incredibly helpful for behavior management. Kids would always rather play games or do something else instead of listening in class, but when they know you’re watching, it helps keep them focused and responsible. However, from my understanding, it doesn’t work for students who use iPads.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use GoGuardian Teacher across our organization. It is used by teachers to manage student Chromebook sessions in classrooms. Through this software, teachers can not only see student activity but they can also make filtering decisions on the spot to allow or block websites. This allows teachers to guide their own students without contacting their IT department.
Pros and Cons
  • Account setup is very easy.
  • The software is extremely intuitive.
Likelihood to Recommend
GoGuardian Teacher is perfect for school districts that are invested in the G Suite/Chromebook environment. Of all the products we have put in place for teachers, this has received the most attention. Teachers can see everything a student is doing at a given time. They may close tabs that are not productive to student learning. They can lock Chromebooks, chat with students and change filtering all on their own. I honestly think this is one of the best classroom management tools for Chromebook devices.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
With 1:1 Chromebook implementation in an inner-city middle school, it was vital for us to have a program to monitor the usage by students. We are able to create boundaries for web browsing that allows our students to use online tools in a safe environment. Our students understand that we want them to freely use their device in school appropriate ways, but that we are able to monitor where they are and block inappropriate sites for our setting.
Pros and Cons
  • Ease of set-up and use.
  • Ability to monitor students in real time.
Likelihood to Recommend
GoGuardian has decreased incidents of students misusing their computers during class just by them knowing we have the capability of monitoring them. On most days my colleagues and I don't even have to open the program for our students to be modeling correct behavior. It allows us to see problems in real-time to be able to address them then, rather than after the fact.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
GoGuardian is being used at our institution to manage student Chromebook activity in the classroom. Teachers and administrators can monitor devices from their device. You can see if the students are doing the assigned task or on the proper sight, view open tabs, sends messages and even block students. Helps to keep students on task and accountable for their time with tech in the classroom.
Pros and Cons
  • Monitor device activity
  • Monitor students screens
  • Improves on task time and accountability
Likelihood to Recommend
GoGuardian Teacher is great for a teacher who needs a way to monitor student activities and work time on a laptop. It is easy to set up, simple to use and helps to keep students accountable when online in class. It integrates with Google Classroom which is a big help. It is more powerful for teachers experienced in using tech in the classroom. The archiving ability is great but the UX needs to improve.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
GoGuardian Teacher is being used district-wide to help monitor what students are viewing and doing on their Chromebooks and tablets. It is much easier to use than what our district used in the past because the software is cloud-based and can be monitored from any device as long as it is logged in to the correct person.
Pros and Cons
  • Cloud-based. Teachers do not have to monitor from just one device - they can do it from any device.
  • GoGuardian allows teachers to lock a student's screen when he/she needs the students attention.
  • GoGuardian allows the teacher to view all students' devices simultaneously.
Likelihood to Recommend
GoGuardian allows teachers to track and monitor student's devices in the classroom. Additionally, the teacher can have more than one classroom split into its own category instead of a pool of students. Finally, the teacher can set up scheduling so GoGuardian automatically saves the data from that specified tracking period.

GoGuardian would do even better if they added a calendar to the scheduling.
