[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s weird fcps doesn’t use something like go guardian where teachers can block sites or limit the sites kids can be on during school. MCPS uses GG. Can individual schools implement it or does it have to be systemwide? The internet has enough distractions as it is, we need some guardrails for kids, esp young kids whose self regulation is still developing.[/quote]
Even with GoGuardian, the kids still manage to play games. It is not possible to block chrome/Google and the kids use it as a back door into games. Google Doodle often includes games.

All you can do is lock a kid’s screen. Then, they have an excuse why they didn’t complete an assignment.

It’s sad because it is an issue of dependency, if not outright addiction. Parents aren’t taking it seriously enough. If they did, there would be daily protests outside of the headquarters of Google until a better product was developed that prevented 5th and 6th graders from creating and sharing Google docs with hundreds of game links.

It’s working in my school. They’ve monitored the kids centrally and blocked the current work-arounds that kids were using. Plus, I could set it to allow only Lexia, for example,  and then that is literally all that is allowed. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than what we had - nothing.[/quote]
