Once approved by Grom Social, schools and teachers may create their own secure pages for posting announcements, events, updates, and other news, which will be shared only with students at that school. Teachers can also create an account page where they will be able to post assignments, updates, and chat in real-time outside of the classroom. Teachers will also be able to monitor their students’ progress to complete Grom’s proprietary Digital Citizenship License course (DCL), which teaches kids the dos and don’ts of being a responsible digital citizen.
“Internet safety for kids is very much a growing concern and priority for today’s families and educators alike,” said Marks. “By offering new features through Grom Social that complement in-classroom learning, practical school-led safety instruction, and a Digital Citizenship licensing course, we can help prepare the next generation of digital citizens for a lifetime of responsible and safe digital experiences.”
