Vancouver Public Schools—Online Safety for Students

Teaching Students Better Global Digital Citizenship

Shifting to remote learning presented a variety of challenges for Vancouver Public Schools (VPS), as students faced an entirely new learning environment. The district chose Gaggle Safety Management to be their "neighbor on the porch" to proactively ensure the safety and well-being of their 24,000+ students online.

The Challenge - Maze

The Challenge:

Using Microsoft 365 and Google for Education across a variety of devices (iPads, Chromebooks, and laptops), the district wanted to ensure all of its students are protected in the digital environments where they’re interacting, sharing, and collaborating. This became even more critical when learning moved off campus and into the virtual world.

The Solution - Lightbulb

The Solution:

With a student safety platform already in place for students in grades 3–12, VPS turned up its 1:1 initiative and extended its use of Gaggle across all grade levels. This would not only give the district complete visibility over its students’ online activities, it also helps promote digital citizenship and level the digital equity playing field.
