This past summer, no one at Gaggle was surprised when our Safety Management Team started keeping track of the lives it saves by reviewing suspicious content and alerting our school or district emergency contacts to imminent suicide threats. Our latest case study shares one of those stories.

The importance of protecting students from harmful situations, especially cyberbullying, was the theme of last week’s Gaggle webcast, which welcomed digital citizenship author Dr. Mike Ribble, and Michelle Turnage, Senior Executive Director – Technology Services at Johnston County Schools.

An increasing number of school districts, like Wayne Township Public Schools in New Jersey, understand the value of both teaching digital citizenship and implementing technology that helps create teachable moments for students who might take a misstep.

If you’re interested in learning more about what safety issues are particularly disconcerting for smaller schools and districts, as well as practical steps on how you can manage student safety, be sure to listen to the Gaggle webcast, “How Smaller School Districts Combine Technology with Digital Citizenship to Keep Students Safe.”

After switching from the Gaggle Safe Learning Management System to G Suite for Education, Junction Independent School District (ISD) in Texas wanted to ensure students were safe using Gmail and Google Drive.
