Oak Ridge Schools have partnered with Gaggle to provide features that will help keep our students safe while using district Office 365/OneDrive and Google Drive sites. Oak Ridge Schools will use Gaggle Safety Management to further promote student and educator productivity in a safe and controlled educational environment.
Gaggle Safety Management combines our district technology with expert safety representatives who continuously review content by identifying inappropriate words and images in Office and Google products used for educational purposes. Trained professionals then apply consistent, school- or district-approved policies for positive intervention, alerting school officials if there are imminent threats to student safety.
Gaggle Safety Management services will be used in the near future for students in grades 5-12 as part of the Oak Ridge Schools’ Access Oak Ridge digital technology initiative. Our district administration is pleased that such programs are available to monitor and provide another layer of internet safety for our students.
Gaggle has been a provider of student online safety learning solutions for the K-12 market since 1999. The company’s focus on protecting students allows parents and educators to have the confidence their learners can take advantage of current technology for communication and collaboration in a secure environment.
