Unity Christian, a small private school, leveraged Gaggle's Web Filter to maximize student success.

Brenda recalled using the feature with a student who had misused their online access. The student was limited to approved tools like Google, code.org, and math videos. “They didn’t push back at all,” she said. “It was easy to manage and really effective.” Her advice for other schools: “Don’t hesitate to use the Penalty Box. It works.”

The rollout was smooth. Brenda described it as “seamless,” with only a few quick adjustments needed. They experienced benefits immediately. The straightforward site-unblocking process and the filter’s ability to recheck and update as content changes were winning features. Unity found a solution that was both proactive and sustainable. “I’d much rather unblock a safe site here or there than risk exposure to something that isn’t,” Brenda said.
