Tech specs
What do you like best about the product?
Go Guardian is a great software to be able to monitor student on-line usage. You can privately message students, close tabs, take screenshots and monitor what websites they are using.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our district has disabled the ability to see what students are doing when not in-school on our network, which is difficult to monitor students that may be working virtually from home.
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to setup or manage. Good visibility for teachers over student devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
Admin dashboard needs more update for better control. It lacks account and billing cycle information hence you may miss the renewal. Not user friendly dashboard.
What do you like best about the product?
GoGuardian allows me to check in on my students' work but not hover over their shoulders. I can see what they are working on and make suggestions to their progress. I can also close or open their tabs to make sure they are on task.
What do you dislike about the product?
If students do not have an online window open I can not see their screens. Let's say they have an image pulled up on their screen, I won't be able to see that image.
What do you like best about the product?
I think that GoGuardian was very affordable for our small private school. It also was able to handle the majority of our needs and the teachers were able to learn the interface quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
GoGuardian was lacking in some finer controls and settings. There were some instances where students were able to circumvent protocols set in place and teachers were not able to resolve the issue.
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What do you like best about the product?
I love GoGuardian because I'm able to help my students and see their screens. This has been a blessing because during distance learning, I can't help them in the classroom. I feel like they're with me even though they're at home.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much I dislike. I wish I could have the option to take over their screen and support them that way, but I'm sure that's too much.
What do you like best about the product?
This program was a life saver during my time virtual teaching. It helped me keep tabs on what my students were working on and if they were on task.
What do you dislike about the product?
That every district does not utilize it.
