Impressed by Impero

By Julie Stade, Sewell Elementary

In today’s digital learning environment, Impero has become essential for student safety.  Impero is a tool Garland ISD has obtained to help teachers monitor and manage student devices.  This classroom management software ensures online safety and helps to support digital learning.  

Impero is easy to use as it is integrated with GISD staff Google accounts and connected to their email addresses.  Impero is also integrated with Skyward, so student rosters are created and updated internally. 

When teachers log into their Impero account, they can view each of their students’ active Chromebook screens as well as unopened tabs.  This gives teachers real-time access to student on-line activity.  

Impero teachers can maintain control of internet activity and keep students on-task.  Once identified, teachers can easily remove online distractions and restrict browsing functions.  Viewing student screens on demand allows teachers to identify students struggling with content.  Teachers can provide immediate feedback through the message feature in Impero.  Teachers can also provide in-person support to students in the classroom.
