Today's Topic: GoGuardian Frequently Asked Questions
GoGuardian has been a popular topic for the past few weeks! GoGuardian allows staff to "gain a view into student online activity and control over devices with an easy to use classroom management tool." Below are several common questions I've been asked, with the first being the most common question. Keep the questions coming!
What happens when two teachers are running a scene at the same time?
I took this question to GoGuardian support last week and asked a bunch of follow-up questions to get this figured out. When two teachers are running a scene at the same time, the last applied scene will take precedence. UNLESS both teachers are running the "scene status page" which allows teachers to refresh and update with their scene being the newest applied. If another scene has been applied more recently, you could change your scene to none and then change it back to make yours the most recently applied scene.
How do I "refresh and update" the scene?
When students are in multiple sessions, there should be a yellow warning at the top of the GoGuardian "scene status page." Click the Refresh Scene button and all students should be pulled into your scene.
