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.
GoGuardian's product capabilities include real-time monitoring for students' device screens, a feature to identify at-risk students and single click tutoring support among others. 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 continues to expand its services - for example with support for multi-platform school environments and a digital hall pass management system.
