The year is finally winding down and holidays are right around the corner! But before we take our turkey naps, GoGuardian will be participating in conferences, possibly in your neighborhood! Curious about a demo? Have some questions about any of the GoGuardian products? Are you a current user who would like to share a great experience with GoGuardian? Feel free to stop by! We would love to meet you and nerd out on edtech!

On Halloween, spooky-themed lesson plans and activities are all the rage in our classrooms. Costume contests. Classroom door decorating. Pumpkin carving. Among the “All Hallows’ Eve” festivities, it’s also important to do something educational. Ever heard of an Escape Room?

Have you been thinking about using GoGuardian in your school?  Would you like to talk one-on-one with someone from our team and see how GoGuardian works?  We will be at the following conferences during the month of October and would love to answer any questions you may have!

It all started with an idea. Our school wanted to bring more technology into the classroom. In order to help roll this out, our district created a 1:1 initiative called Connected for Learning, which would be managed by a specialist and a team of helpers. The twist? This team of helpers wouldn’t be made up of adults… they would be students. What started as an innovative idea would become The Royse City High School “Chrome Squad”.

Today, we have a full-fledged student internship program that gives students the chance to learn new skills, gain experience in technology, and keep our classrooms connected. Here’s how we did it, and how you can create a student internship like “The Chrome Squad” at your school, too.

I have been teaching for 13 years, and when my classroom went 1:1 with Chromebooks, it completely changed my pedagogy. I find it much easier to differentiate instruction, and to tailor my teaching to the needs of each individual child inside and outside the classroom.  I can also expand learning for a student who really wants to dive into a particular topic, and stay connected as they explore a new arena.
