What are scenes?

AND WHY MIGHT YOU USE THEM?

As you know, GoGuardian is a classroom management tool for Chromebooks. You can import your classes from Google Classroom and monitor sessions to ensure that students are on task while using their Chromebooks. A Scene is a customizable set of rules that you can apply to one or more of GoGuardian classrooms or to individuals or groups of students.

ANATOMY OF A URL

CREATING ALLOW/BLOCK LISTS

It's important to understand the specific parts of a URL when creating your allow/block lists. Sometimes, adding a single URL to your list may not be enough. If you understand the different parts of a URL, you can better target the sites you'd like to allow/block.

SHARE YOUR SCENES

WITH OTHER TEACHERS

One of the latest features in GoGuardian Teacher is the ability to share custom scenes with other teachers. Only Scene owners can share scenes and they will remain view-only for teachers they are shared with, unless they make their own copies. Note: Scenes can only be shared with other teachers within our organization.
