Nothing. You guys block websites and games that are perfectly fine for kids, plus you track them and their internet searches, whitch is plain creepy and is a violation of their rights and privacies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoGuardian Teacher? I hate it. GoGuardian sucks. I am a student, and I can't use websites or games I would like to use in school without seeing a stupid "This is blocked by GoGuardian" screen. Me, my friends, and many other students would like to see GoGuardian banned from schools because of the violation of our rights and privacies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kids have figured out how to get around it, so it's not perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GoGuardian Teacher solving and how is that benefiting you? Especially in this virtual/hybrid year, it's so helpful to be able to see what all of my students are doing on their screens.

BW Brittany W. 5th Grade Math Teacher Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/17/2020 "Essential for 1:1 districts!" 5/5 What do you like best about GoGuardian Teacher? There are so many things that I love about GoGuardian. I love that I am able to see everything my students are doing at a given time. I love that I can close out tabs that should not be opened. I love at the end of each of my classes I get a report with a timeline that shows me what each student was doing at a specific time. There are also individual student reports with awesome visuals. I love that before my class ends I can send an announcement for all of my students to read. I love being able to open a new tab and "send" my students to a specific link. (This has been especially great with having 5th graders who are remote. No more needing to repeat the peardeck code 1,000 times!) I also absolutely LOVE the new features GoGuardian has recently added: audio calls and presentation mode. These have been huge game changers with having remote students this year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoGuardian Teacher? Normally I would say nothing, but lately, GoGuardian has been experiencing system outages. This has been detrimental to my teaching and has essentially left me flying blind. I cannot see what my students are doing, so I cannot help them when there is a problem. I also am not able to "push" out links to them. Fortunately, the team has been trying to work quickly to fix their system status, but even 5 minutes of not seeing my students screens is too long, especially with being a remote teacher this year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering GoGuardian Teacher: Don't think twice about it, just do it! You won't regret it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GoGuardian Teacher solving and how is that benefiting you? I am able to ensure that all students are staying on task and completing the work that I have asked of them. When students are not following directions or are constantly off task I am able to print and send home a copy of their technology usage during my class. This features the top websites they have visited during a given time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/29/2020 "Only confusion is why some features aren't available." 5/5 What do you like best about GoGuardian Teacher? Ability to see all students at once. It doesn't matter if there is one or a dozen students on at once I can monitor them all. I love this when I am giving a test and there is no way anyone is going to deviate from the website. I love being able to get onto only a few students discreetly when I am trying to get them back on track without having to interrupt the whole class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoGuardian Teacher? I get confused when new features pop up. There are ways to record videos etc. But I had a tendency to get error messages saying that I have to update to another level. Also, when sharing my screen the students screens go black a lot and I have to refresh. I dislike the fact that you don't currently have a home version. I could be using this at home big time!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering GoGuardian Teacher: Easy to use, easy to set up.. Don't look any further. This program virtually has everything you need and more!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GoGuardian Teacher solving and how is that benefiting you? I am solving a lot of cheating issues and sharing of answers when they weren't supposed to be. We are also virtually eliminating students from being on sites they shouldn't be.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/23/2020 "Monitoring All Students" 5/5 What do you like best about GoGuardian Teacher? I love that I can see where students are at present. I can filter through students to see who is in dire academic need, or a student who just needs a reminder. This is best working with my special needs students, students with 504 plans, and those with Individualized Educational Plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoGuardian Teacher? I wish I could just chat voice or video in realtime because this will streamline the instant feedback to instant corrections. Students had to click to the chat, then click out, and try to make the corrections or follow instructions. I felt limited in assisting students on GoGuardian, but I still feel GoGuardian is helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GoGuardian Teacher solving and how is that benefiting you? I have been solving student participation. Students are impulsive, so helping them create good online habits, and not going straight to YouTube or video games. I feel that students realize that teachers are present, and are more willing to participate and complete work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

English Teacher Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/16/2020 "Awesome Teaching Tool" 4.5/5 What do you like best about GoGuardian Teacher? This is a great program for myself and my 9-12 colleagues. We initially looked into this product because we wanted to find a way to eliminate cheating from our online writing program. In addition to that, Go Guardian tracks student screen time, which is helpful for many reasons. When students know they're "On Go Guardian" they are much more likely to remain on task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoGuardian Teacher? Sometimes there is a bit of lag time between what I see on my screen and what students are actually doing, but it is not significant and refreshing my page usually solves the problem.

The ability to focus kids attention by eliminating the many distractions of the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GoGuardian Teacher? Lack of student side features. Gen Z'ers are tech savvy and used to having input and control in many areas of their life.

My teachers love GoGuardian's ability to help them monitor their classroom Chromebook usage. This helps so much with classroom management and eases the minds of my busy teachers.
