Creating a Scene

GoGuardian Scenes allow you to control student browsing by either blocking everything except specific sites (Allow Mode) or allowing everything except specific sites (Block Mode).

Part 1: Create a Scene

Open Scenes: Log into GoGuardian Teacher and click Scenes in the left-hand sidebar.
Start a List: Click Create List under either Allowed Websites or Blocked Websites.
Basic Info: Give your Scene a name (e.g., "Math Quiz" or "Free Time"), choose a color, and click Next.
Add Sites: Type a URL (e.g., google.com) into the search bar, click Search, and then click Add next to the site.

- Tip: Use Quick Lists (top right) to instantly add common categories like "Google Docs" or "Testing Sites."

Extras (Optional): * Auto-Open Tabs: Set specific sites to pop up automatically on student screens when class starts.

- Tab Limit: Limit students to a maximum number of open tabs (e.g., max 3 tabs).

Save: Click Save Scene in the top right.

Part 2: Apply a Scene

You can apply a Scene to an active class or set one to start automatically.

Option A: Manually (During Class)

While a session is running, look for the Scene Applied dropdown menu at the top of the screen.
Select your Scene from the list. It will take effect immediately for all students.
To stop it, click the dropdown again and select None Applied.

Option B: Automatically (For Every Class)

Go to your Classrooms dashboard.
Click the Settings (gear icon) for a specific class and choose Edit.
Scroll to Default Scene, select your preferred Scene, and click Update Classroom.
