GoGuardian is used to provide content filtering to students at school and at home any time that they sign in with a district Google email account. GoGuardian only works with student accounts.

In addition to providing a safeguard for students, GoGuardian provides teachers with useful tools for instruction, especially for remote learning. With GoGuardian, teachers can view the content on student screens, open tabs for students -- a replacement for Share-to-Classroom -- close student tabs, chat, present content and host video sessions.

Students will see a "blocked" image any time a site is blocked by GoGuardian. If access to the site is needed for educational purposes, the student should let the teacher know. Teachers have access to a form to request that a site is blocked or unblocked.

Watch the following video to see how to use scenes to block YouTube or other sites.
