Gaggle Partners with Clayton County Public Schools to Manage Student Safety on School-Provided Technology and Collaboration Platforms
Summary
The Gaggle safety solution uses a robust combination of both artificial intelligence and trained safety experts to provide real-time analysis and review of students’ use of online collaboration platforms, such as Google’s G Suite for Education, Microsoft Office 365 and Canvas while proactively identifying and supporting students who are personally struggling; and creating a safer school environment by building a culture for improved digital citizenship. An in-house team of trained safety professionals with backgrounds in law enforcement, psychology, social work, suicide prevention and crisis management evaluate flagged content for false positives, categorizes incidents and determines their severity. The team then alerts district personnel to policy violations, inappropriate content, critical mental health issues and imminent danger to students. Over the past 20 years, Gaggle has scanned more than 13 billion pieces of student content, flagging over 151 million items for review by its team of safety experts who look for signs of self-harm and depression, thoughts of suicide, substance abuse, cyberbullying and credible threats of violence against others. Most importantly, Gaggle continues to help hundreds of districts avoid tragedies and save lives, while also protecting their liability.
