What Users Love About the App

“It has multiple levels, is easy to introduce and explain the basics, yet contains deeper uses than I have been able to fully implement but are really cool!”

“I like being able to monitor my students, customize their access and deliver content directly to their screens on demand. I also like being able to set up a list of sites for an entire class as a template, then lock them in for a specified time.”

“I love Hapara. I cannot stop talking about it. My students don’t know when I will be on Hapara, so even if they are not in my class, but I see them on an inappropriate site for school, I will kick them off., and I get to write them messages, if need be. “

“What I like best about this product, is that it allows myself and other teachers to keep tabs on websites that students are visiting, as well as being able to shut down any tabs they may have open that they shouldn’t be at any given time.”

“I loved being able to be aware of what my students were doing on their Chromebooks as we worked in self paced learning units. I could use my laptop to know what screens they were on and had open to be able to keep them on task.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“I dislike the fact that the students can easily disable Hapara on their Chromebooks. This then defeats the purpose that my school uses this program for.”

“I did not love the interface of Hapara or the teacher dashboard in particular. While using functions to control student browsing or monitor or attempt to lock screens, many times students seemed to evade the software by switching browsers or clicking out. Other times it was like students didn’t receive messages or commands at all.”

“There were many times that there was a large lag time with the information I was seeing and what the kids were doing. That caused some issues with lost screens as the kids were working.”

“The interface can be a little confusing at times. Going in and setting up classrooms and then managing users and teachers can be a tad clunky but simply requires a little bit of a learning curve.”

“There are way better apps to monitor kids and encourages them to sneak around and be creative with it.”
