Overall Satisfaction with GoGuardian Admin

We use GoGuardian Admin to filter the content on student's Chromebooks. GoGuardian Admin ensures we are able to keep our students safe online by using machine learning and artificial intelligence for content filtering along with traditional allow and blocklists. The system analyzes what is on the screen, regardless of the URL. If the content is inappropriate, it is blocked, and a message is sent to my team. We are able to set different levels of filtering based on OU. We have the ability to filter the devices both on campus and off. Our team is also able to see what sites students are visiting. This is amazing for understanding how Chromebooks are being used and for dealing with cases of academic dishonesty. Additionally, GoGuardian Admin is able to detect when students are searching/viewing content related to self-harm/suicide ideation. Alerts are triggered in those instances as well. Lastly, GG Admin is essential when tracking lost or stolen devices. The system makes it incredibly easy to locate a device the minute it comes online.

  • The system cannot inform our team about cyber bullying or harassment.
  • Students can still play some games if those games are loaded to a Google Site.
  • There are times when a Chromebook that hasn't been restarted in a while will not show up online. This is problematic as students do not restart as much as they should.

GoGuardian is excellent for any district with a 1:1 Chromebook program. Our program would not be nearly as successful without it. GoGuardian does work with other devices (Windows, iPads) but I believe some features do not work as well in those setups. We haven't tried using it for anything other than Chromebooks and I am not aware of anyone using it for iPad/Windows or Macs.
