[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s school - they’re using a school website with school property, are they not? And they’re supposed to be using it ONLY to do school work, right?
What’s the problem here? Are they supposed to let kids waste their classroom time doing frivolous things or maybe cyber bullying other kids? Why wouldn’t you parents be supporting this?? Tell your kids to only use the school WiFi and device for school related work and get on with your lives.[/quote]

OP is talking about her home computer, at home, using her personal wifi.

OP out of curiosity, is your school using google docs, SIS or blackboard?  Or some other program?[/quote]

I only know of google docs.  I am not sure of SIS or blackboard or even what those are.  I can ask my kid tomorrow.

I believe my child's as well as the other two friends' accounts of this.  The kids expected the teacher to see their screens with the Guardian app, but I think they were all more or less humored that they were able to see their friend's home screen on the teacher's computer.  DD said it looks like images that were glitchy.  My assumption is that the application itself would capture an image and the student's screen every so often and send it to the monitoring admin when the app is deployed.

Whatever the case is, I feel very uncomfortable and wish the school had explained the extent of their monitoring of home access.[/quote]
