Are we monitoring student misbehavior online in real time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Managing student behavior is crucial to thriving in the digital classroom. Kids are still kids and need clear rules on how to behave in class. Have you ever wondered how it is possible to monitor the activity of ALL students at the same time, and how to get the most value out of it? Let\u2019s find out together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solution-1-disturbing-online-behavior-detection-with-real-time-alerts\">Solution 1. Disturbing Online Behavior Detection with Real-time Alerts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Automated, real-time monitoring tools help quickly identify and handle disruptive student behavior online.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solutions integrated with Google Workspace for Education, like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/products\/gat-shield\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GAT Shield<\/a>, can detect concerning activity in student accounts, Chrome browsers, and the entire school domain. They search for keywords related to illegal products and activities, mental health issues, and other risks to minors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these alerts, admins and teachers can automatically get notifications when an improper or harmful activity has been detected and take action. Otherwise, they would need to constantly check every student\u2019s activity in Google Classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will bear fruit in the long run, improving student academic performance and well-being. It will also ease the burden on teachers so that they can finally focus completely on teaching!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solution-2-bad-language-and-hate-speech-monitoring\">Solution 2. Bad Language and Hate Speech Monitoring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyberbullying, cyberstalking, and privacy violations are increasingly common in schools, and implementing new technologies just opens up new channels, making this problem grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, with advanced edtech solutions for classrooms, school admins have the tools at their fingertips to detect and stop cyber bullies. Real-time tracking of bad language and hateful vocabulary immediately uncovers virtual incidents of violence and enables the school to protect victims from greater mental health harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/products\/gat-shield\/\">GAT Shield<\/a>&nbsp;allows you to customize alert rules to detect specific words for a given time period and users. For example, if you anticipate more hate speech during election season, you can set up alerts for politics-related vocabulary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/products\/gat-shield\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"864\" src=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Revealing-Student-Wellbeing-Through-Flagged-Alerts-1024x864.png\" alt=\"Revealing student issues with mental health in Google Classroom through flagged alerts in GAT Shield\" class=\"wp-image-14333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Revealing-Student-Wellbeing-Through-Flagged-Alerts-1024x864.png 1024w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Revealing-Student-Wellbeing-Through-Flagged-Alerts-300x253.png 300w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Revealing-Student-Wellbeing-Through-Flagged-Alerts-768x648.png 768w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Revealing-Student-Wellbeing-Through-Flagged-Alerts-1536x1296.png 1536w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Revealing-Student-Wellbeing-Through-Flagged-Alerts.png 1812w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solution-3-real-time-student-screen-monitoring-in-google-classroom\">Solution 3. Real-time Student Screen Monitoring in Google Classroom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Electronic devices in the classroom not only support teachers but also challenge them \u2013 students may use the Internet for purposes other than education. Another powerful solution for keeping your students safe and focused comes in handy: monitoring their screens.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachers often ask, \u201cHow can I monitor all my students\u2019 screens and teach effectively at the same time?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your school uses Google Classroom, try&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/products\/teacher-assist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Teacher Assist<\/a>, the most intuitive and effective tool for educators. It allows them to manage the screen of every student on one dashboard, open and close tabs, review their browsing history, lock screens during exams, share online resources, and more\u2014all to minimize distractions and refocus their attention on learning.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"157\" src=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q2-1024x157.png\" alt=\"Are we filtering harmful online content in the school domain?\" class=\"wp-image-14355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q2-1024x157.png 1024w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q2-300x46.png 300w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q2-768x118.png 768w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q2-1536x236.png 1536w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q2-2048x315.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-are-we-filtering-harmful-online-content-in-the-school-domain\">2. Are we filtering harmful online content in the school domain?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take another step toward maximizing student engagement, learning potential, and well-being in Google Classroom. In addition to general monitoring of online activity, it\u2019s worth implementing detailed web filtering to eliminate some online threats right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solution-1-harmful-and-distracting-urls-blocking\">Solution 1. Harmful and Distracting URLs Blocking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Turning off certain URLs for students by default will be a teacher\u2019s lifesaver. Excluding specific cases of websites needed during the class, most of them would be nothing but endless distractions for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to block websites that are inappropriate and harmful in the educational setting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highly customizable web filters, such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/knowledge\/tech-tips\/block-only-specific-url\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Site Access Control<\/a>, allow you to tailor an effective school policy for blocking URLs only for students or for all users in the Google domain. In addition to customizing filtering rules, Site Access Control also identifies all users who have attempted to open blocked URLs and triggers a specific action when this happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/block-and-allowed-site-1024x414.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/block-and-allowed-site-1024x414.gif 1024w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/block-and-allowed-site-300x121.gif 300w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/block-and-allowed-site-768x311.gif 768w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/block-and-allowed-site-1536x621.gif 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solution-2-inappropriate-online-content-restriction-for-students\">Solution 2. Inappropriate Online Content Restriction for Students<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a safe school environment also involves shielding students from online content that parents aim to restrict for their children\u2019s well-being. Accessing explicit and illegal content like inappropriate images, videos, and games (and much more) online is a piece of cake for young users. However, exposure to such material can seriously impact students\u2019 mental health in Google Classroom and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Implementing school-wide restrictions is beneficial for safeguarding students and staff, regardless of users\u2019 ages. This approach ensures a secure learning environment without being overly protective. Consider the Google SafeSearch feature and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/products\/gat-shield\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">third-party apps<\/a>&nbsp;to block any concerning online content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/schedule-a-live-demo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"385\" src=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/CTA-Shield-Web-filtering-GAT-Labs-Education-1024x385.png\" alt=\"Enhance web filtering in your school for better student mental health in Google Classroom\" class=\"wp-image-11591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/CTA-Shield-Web-filtering-GAT-Labs-Education-1024x385.png 1024w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/CTA-Shield-Web-filtering-GAT-Labs-Education-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/CTA-Shield-Web-filtering-GAT-Labs-Education-768x289.png 768w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/CTA-Shield-Web-filtering-GAT-Labs-Education.png 1230w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"155\" src=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q3-1024x155.png\" alt=\"Are we following good cybersecurity practices in our school?\" class=\"wp-image-14353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q3-1024x155.png 1024w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q3-300x45.png 300w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q3-768x116.png 768w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q3-1536x232.png 1536w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q3-2048x309.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-are-we-following-good-cybersecurity-practices-in-our-school\">3. Are we following good cybersecurity practices in our school?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With granular web filtering and online activity monitoring, we are all set to succeed\u2026 Oh, wait, what about cybersecurity measures? If we don\u2019t take this aspect into account, unauthorized individuals can easily infiltrate your school environment and mess it up seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solution-1-cyber-threats-real-time-monitoring-in-your-school-domain\">Solution 1. Cyber Threats Real-Time Monitoring in your School Domain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People are the weakest link in the cybersecurity puzzle. Relying solely on users\u2019 intuition isn\u2019t enough to prevent cyber incidents. What\u2019s essential is a robust monitoring tool that can automatically detect and flag any suspicious activity within the school\u2019s network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tool should track unusual activities like downloading uncommon file types, logging in from unexpected locations, changing passwords, and modifying file access permissions. It should offer comprehensive real-time monitoring and ideally alert you immediately when such actions are detected, allowing prompt investigation and response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Still unsure which tool to choose?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/products\/gat-shield\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check an option out here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solution-2-cybersecurity-training-for-students-and-school-staff\">Solution 2. Cybersecurity Training for Students and School Staff<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cybersecurity awareness is critical to creating a secure environment where students and teachers can progress toward achieving their goals. They are on the front line against cybercriminals who more and more often target schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organize regular training sessions and practical workshops for students and school staff so they learn to be cautious and recognize online threats. The most common cyber incidents in schools are phishing and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/blog\/how-can-your-school-avoid-paying-6-6m-due-to-a-ransomware-attack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ransomware attacks<\/a>, which sometimes can be detected and stopped by users themselves in the early stages. Otherwise, the effects of a school data breach or unauthorized disclosure may affect their private life and mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this good practice in place, your school gains an additional layer of cybersecurity protection.<br>https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/blog\/role-of-teachers-and-students-in-school-cyber-incident-response-plan\/embed\/#?secret=TrtA3dxbNa#?secret=fkODoMWgQh<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"155\" src=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q4-1024x155.png\" alt=\"Are we offering mental health support online for students?\" class=\"wp-image-14352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q4-1024x155.png 1024w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q4-300x45.png 300w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q4-768x116.png 768w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q4-1536x232.png 1536w, https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Q4-2048x309.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-are-we-offering-mental-health-support-online-for-students\">4. Are we offering mental health support online for students?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite implementing all the technical solutions above, students may still deal with mental health issues. You can\u2019t control everything; what you can offer is comprehensive support for those who may need it. Here are a few practical solutions we\u2019ve compiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solution-1-mental-health-resources-online-repository\">Solution 1. Mental Health Resources Online Repository<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mental health troubles usually aren\u2019t something people are willing to share with everyone. Reaching accessible self-help resources that respect user privacy is the first step for those searching for help for themselves or for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create a virtual shelf with informative and educational resources and reliable contact information for therapists and support groups. This can be a dedicated folder stored in a shared Google Drive that is available to everyone in the school. Make sure only authorized users can edit and add new content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, promote the new repository. Nobody will benefit from it if you don\u2019t spread the word in the school community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solution-2-mental-health-awareness-promotion-in-school\">Solution 2. Mental Health Awareness Promotion in School<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This practice can significantly reduce the risk of mental health issues in your school and beyond. Sharing professional knowledge and empathy provides an excellent basis for the early prevention and identification of mental health issues such as depression in students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specialists experienced in working with young people know how challenging it is to understand them, earn their trust, and encourage them to open up. But there is much at stake. Professional workshops, personal approaches, and positive communication in the classroom make a difference, helping to decrease many potential well-being risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-closing-thoughts\">Closing Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When implementing classroom management solutions, schools must consider how these tools protect user well-being.<em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Are they safe for every user and ensure data confidentiality? Do they enable monitoring of student activity online and restrict content? Do they support social and emotional learning? How do they enforce your cybersecurity efforts?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this in mind, admins will make the right decision to maximize school efforts to create a safe space for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/schedule-a-live-demo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book a demo<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gatlabs.com\/education\/try-gat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">request a free 15-day trial<\/a>\u00a0to see the GAT Shield features in action.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psychologists and teachers sound the alarm \u2013\u00a0well-being in schools is a real concern.
