Mobile Guardian's Solutions as Finalists in the EdTech Awards 2023

The Edtech Awards is the largest recognition program of its kind that is focused on educational technology. Each year the awards shine a light on innovators, leaders, and trendsetters that transform and enrich students' lives through technology within Education.

In particular, the Cool Tool awards acknowledge the best, new, and emerging technology solutions for classrooms around the world.

Security Solution - Safer by Mobile Guardian

The Security (cybersecurity, student safety) Solution Category recognises technology that provides students with safe online learning environments.

Safer by Mobile Guardian is a cloud-based web filtering solution designed for K-12 schools to do just that.

Safer empowers educators to create safe and focused learning environments by limiting student devices to class-relevant content and websites, whether learning at school or from home.

Safer's Stand-out Cloud-based Web Filtering functionality includes YouTube web filtering, Time & Location-based restrictions, multi-byte character and multilingual filtering, and a constantly updated database of rater content to ensure that students all around the world remain safe and distraction-free online.

Classroom Management Solution - Modes by Mobile Guardian

The Classroom Management Solution Category focuses on Cool Tools that impact EdTech classrooms around the world in order to drive learning in the digital classroom.

Mobile Guardian’s Modes feature impacts the classroom like no other. Modes unites all the features of modern classroom management and web filtering solutions, into one, easy-to-use tool.

Educators simply specify which web content and applications will be allowed during class, and the rest will be blocked - simple as that.

Teachers can create Modes during class, to easily and quickly implement a quiz or testing environment to round off a class, as well as plan out and prepare Modes suitable for each of their classes.
