Our take
GoGuardian provides filtering, classroom engagement and mental health tools for educators. This supports better classroom management, student engagement and online safety - without users having to rely on multiple platforms.
Among GoGuardian's product capabilities, users will find real-time monitoring for students' device screens, a feature to identify at-risk students and the 2024-launched single click tutoring support. The major questioning of the suite surrounds how student safety and privacy remain balanced, which is a challenge the company must continue to face.
Millions of students across over thousands of US school districts are served by GoGuardian's software. With schools increasingly turning towards digital education systems, the company is well-positioned to expand its services.
