Teacher Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/12/2022 "Go Guardian Teacher" 4/5 What do you like best about GoGuardian Teacher? I like being able to view and control my students' screens. This helps to keep all students on track and Go Guardian limits their access to websites that I don't approve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoGuardian Teacher? Go Guardian has a bit of a learning curve but it's not too bad compared to other screen monitoring programs. Some features of Go Guardian must be set up/approved by your district. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GoGuardian Teacher solving and how is that benefiting you? Students are no longer able to visits websites that would help them cheat or websites that allow them to be off task (games). Go Guardian has improved student behaviors.

JC Jessica C. Teacher Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/23/2021 "Go Go Guardian!" 5/5 What do you like best about GoGuardian Teacher? This program was a life saver during my time virtual teaching.

That every district does not utilize it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Classroom Teacher Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/23/2020 "A Teacher's Ultimate Best Friend" 5/5 What do you like best about GoGuardian Teacher? Everything! But seriously the ability to see every student's screen and their other tabs is so helpful. You can block certain sites or make it to where only one site is accessible for that session. I also like that I can see how long they have been idle and how long they have been working. It's very useful when I am gone and I can see how my students used their time with a sub. The chat feature also comes in handy when I am gone and can be online. I can monitor my student's activity and I'm available to help them with anything that they may need me for. I also really love the ability to be able to schedule sessions. They automatically start every class period and I never have to worry about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoGuardian Teacher? Honestly, there really isn't anything I dislike about GoGuardian. The only thing that ever got on my nerves was the issue of not being able to control the students' screen if they were logged in another teacher's session still, but they added a feature to fix that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering GoGuardian Teacher: Every teacher needs Go Guardian! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GoGuardian Teacher solving and how is that benefiting you? The biggest problem I was able to solve by using GoGuardian was keeping my students on task. I have seen a huge increase in student engagement since our district started using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TM TRISHA M. 4th Grade Teacher Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/26/2019 "GoGuardian is Amazing!" 5/5 What do you like best about GoGuardian Teacher? I love that you can schedule sessions daily and during a specific time-frame. I love the ability to have sessions emailed after they are over. This way I can go back and scan what students were doing if I wasn't able to look at the session in real time. I love to be able to see each student's screen when it's in the live session! I also love the ability to send a private chat to a student that is off-task or needing help without making a big deal about it in front of the whole class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoGuardian Teacher? It would be nice if the timeline showed all my students on the page, but I have to scroll down to view them all and then move the tab over to view the activity over the hour I have the session live for (even on the smallest option available). I am departmentalized and I wish I had the option to view all of them at the same time (this might be something that can be solved within my district). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering GoGuardian Teacher: GoGuardian Teacher is an excellent program to help monitor what your students are doing online and gives you the opportunity to send them private chats when they're off-task or needing help. You can create recurring sessions and will save each session for you to refer back to (an email summary can also be chosen). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GoGuardian Teacher solving and how is that benefiting you? GoGuardian Teacher allows me to monitor what students are doing online at a quick glance from my computer without having to walk around. I love the option to also be able to click on a specific student and see what other tabs they have open, as well as, the ability to send them a private chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/28/2020 "Keeping students on task" 5/5 What do you like best about GoGuardian Teacher? I like that I can see what is on the student's screen, and even send them a private message, "You are doing great!" or "Here is where you can find that information". I have even sent private messages like, "I know that Mario Bros is so much more interesting than English, but can I get you to focus on this for a few minutes?" They always respond back in a positive way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoGuardian Teacher? I do not like that I cannot see students who are not using school Chrome books. I have about 20-30% who are using a personal computer, instead of checking out a computer at the district. I cannot see what they are doing or offer them any kind of critique. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering GoGuardian Teacher: If you are an online teacher, Go Guardian in the best tool out there to help you keep your students engaged. I can see their screen and how they are navigating. I can see if they have more than one screen open. And, I can send them a message to let them know I can see what they are doing. It is very effective for me to keep my students engaged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GoGuardian Teacher solving and how is that benefiting you? Kids know that I can see what they are doing, and they will stay engaged on the assignment. I will give a shout out to the entire class, "I want to give a shout out to Amileni, George, Ken'Yon....for working hard on the assignment today. Good work, I am proud of you for staying on task!"

Mathematics Instructor - Academic Teacher Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/3/2020 "Keep remote students engaged." 5/5 What do you like best about GoGuardian Teacher? The private chats are great for communication and student privacy vs. typing in the Google Meet. I like that I don't have to email students so often and can resolve any issues in the goguardian chat box. It is very helpful to all of us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoGuardian Teacher? I don't like how I can't always view their screens and sometimes the timeline doesn't reflect what they actually did. Sometimes the site is down which is really frustrating when I am giving an exam. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering GoGuardian Teacher: Get it now. ASAP Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GoGuardian Teacher solving and how is that benefiting you? Not being able to see their screen. Usually is a student issue. It is just hard to tell when they are remote if they are doing some sort of hack to make it so that I can't see their screen because the green light comes on and I can chat with them but it will say "monitoring is restricted".

Owner Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/17/2020 "Great tool for digital teaching" 5/5 What do you like best about GoGuardian Teacher? With GoGuardian, I like the fact that I can actually see and monitor how my digital students, who are not right in front of me in my classroom, are spending their time during class. It helps me redirect them with its chat function. The chat function also lets me know, when my messages are left unopened, that the student is nowhere near his/her computer and is completely off-task. I also like how I can set sessions to automatically start and track the students' online activity even if I don't log in to GoGuardian. It's a good form of documentation. Lastly, it definitely helps me better assist students who are confused about something. If I can see their screen, then I can walk them through the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoGuardian Teacher? When I open GoGuardian while having other programs running, my computer's performance slows down. Therefore, I have to be conscious of how often I rely on the software to monitor students. Another thing about GoGuardian is that though I can send messages to students, those messages do not save. It would be great if those conversations between teacher and student could be automatically saved just like the screenshots or the online activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering GoGuardian Teacher: If you're teaching during this new era of online education, then GoGuardian is a resource to help you know the progress of your students. Working online can be distracting for some students. GoGuardian helps in limiting those distractions during your class by allowing you to block access to certain sites when you set a session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GoGuardian Teacher solving and how is that benefiting you? GoGuardian is definitely exposing which students are actively present and which students are completely off-task and just have the computer running in the background. When I need to contact parents, I will be able to use the online tracking timeline to share how a child specifically spend his/her time during class. If they were not doing work for my class, the timeline will show it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
