Adding a Website to the Penalty Box
Adding a website to the Penalty Box is limited to users with Administrative access to GoGuardian. Teachers do not have the ability to add links to this policy. This policy affects all students currently in the penalty box meaning links to games and other websites will also work for the other students listed in the Penalty Box. Adding websites is fairly simple, although a few things need to be done to properly format the URL for GoGuardian.
- Visit GoGuardian Admin and Login with Google.
- In the navigation menu under Filtering select Configuration.
- Select Policy List
- Select the Green Policy labeled Penalty Box Policy. This name may be abbreviated or shortened on your screen.
- Add the URL of the website you wish to add to the policy.
- To get the URL, go to the website you wish to allow and copy the address from the search bar. The link will be something such as: https://quizlet.com/37469561/china-great-wall-flash-cards/
- Copy this URL (link) into the section on GoGuardian Admin which says "Enter a website URL" (See below)
- Remove the https://www. portion of the URL and remove everything after the .com, .net, .org, .gov, .edu, .us, ending. The Quizlet link above would now appear as: quizlet.com
- Add a * asterisk before and after the link, following the Quizlet example: *quizlet.com*
(An asterisk allows the student to access the website in full, including websites such as login.quizlet.com, help.quizlet.com, and quizlet.com/create)
6. Select Allow.
