Scenes give teachers access to custom web-filtering rules during GoGuardian Teacher class sessions. Use Scenes to block distracting websites, limit students to specific sites, auto-open websites for students, or set a maximum number of open tabs. ## Scene Types | Type | Behavior | | ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Allowed Websites List** | Students can access only the sites on the list. All other sites are blocked. | | **Blocked Websites List** | Sites on the list are blocked. All other sites remain accessible. | ## Create a Scene 1. Sign in to [teacher.goguardian.com](https://teacher.goguardian.com) and click the **Scenes** tab in the left column. GoGuardian Teacher Scenes list page 2. Click **Create List** on either an **Allowed Websites List** or a **Blocked Websites List** to choose the Scene type. 3. Give the Scene a name. Optionally add a color and description. Click **Next**. 4. Enter a website or webpage and click **Search**. GoGuardian Teacher will suggest related sites. Click **Add** next to each site you want to include. You can add a full website, a website path, or an individual webpage: * **Full website**: allows or blocks the entire site and all pages within it (for example, `nationalgeographic.com`) * **Website path**: allows or blocks only a specific section (for example, `nationalgeographic.com/animals`) * **Individual webpage**: allows or blocks only a single page (for example, `nationalgeographic.com/animals/endangered-salamanders`) 5. The Scene is saved automatically as you add sites. Return to the main Scenes page to confirm it appears in your list. ## Edit and Share Scenes Each Scene has a 3-dot menu in the same row as the Scene name. From this menu you can rename the Scene, make a copy, edit the block or allow rules, set it as a Default Scene, or share it with other teachers. When you share a Scene, any teacher who receives the invitation can use it. Only the original Scene owner can edit the rules. Edit and Share Scenes Edit and Share Scenes Edit and Share Scenes ## Apply a Scene During a Session Scenes can only be applied during an active class session. **To apply a Scene manually:** Click the **Scene Applied** drop-down menu during an active session and select a Scene from the list. The currently applied Scene always appears at the top of the list. Edit and Share Scenes **To apply a Scene automatically at the start of every session:** Set a Default Scene in your class settings. Go to the class, click the **Settings** cogwheel, and choose **Edit**. Under **Default Scene**, select a Scene from the drop-down menu and click **Update Classroom**. If you use automatically scheduled classes with a Default Scene, archive the class or remove the Default Scene at the end of the school year. A scheduled class with an active Default Scene will continue applying filtering rules to students after the class ends. ## Resources Review all Scene features, including auto-open tabs and tab limits. Review all Scene settings and what each one controls. Use wildcard patterns to block or allow groups of URLs. Resolve conflicts when multiple Scenes are active at the same time.
