Gaggle Supports Raymond J. Fisher Middle School's 1:1 Initiative

CALIFORNIA | UNDER 5,000 STUDENTS | SAFETY MANAGEMENT FOR GOOGLE

Monitoring Online Activity for Concerning Behavior

The Challenge - Maze

The Challenge:

As a part of the Los Gatos Union School District in California, Raymond J. Fisher Middle School launched a 1:1 digital initiate to build a personalized, digital learning environment to boost academic achievement and prepare students for their future.

The middle school needed a technology platform that would monitor bullying, self-harm, and other inappropriate behaviors and situations in real-time—not after the fact.

Real-time Activity Reporting

The Solution - Lightbulb

The Solution:

The district adopted Gaggle to enhance student safety and ensure their well-being online. In addition, Gaggle provides real-time activity reporting across all middle school students that each have take-home Chromebooks.

The Cornerstone of Good Digital Citizenship

The Results:

While some administrators will assume a student safety management platform will put more work on their plates, an admin at the school noted the opposite is true.

In fact, he commented that Gaggle has helped his school streamline the process, narrow things down quickly, and then have good and open conversations with students about what’s going on.

Having a student safety management platform in place also allows Raymond J. Fisher Middle School’s teachers and administrators to educate students on the cornerstones of good digital citizenship.

“We tell them that we’re not here to discipline them, but that we’re here to help educate them on how to appropriately address situations in Google Classroom.”
