"Reducing teacher workload and stress and increasing productivity."
5/5
What do you like best about Hāpara?

The most helpful tool are highlights being able to have control of what students have access to and how long. And workspace, its been a lifesaver in terms of planning, teaching and increasing students ability to develop key digital competency skills, self management and student agency.

What do you dislike about Hāpara?

If I could critque anything it would be not being able to assign workspaces as part of a focus session and not being able to screenshot with a time stamp of student activity in current screens. I find you can do that in snaps but it doesn't pick up all unusal activity. If there was a feature that allowed the teacher to red flag screens that would help the effectiveness of student accountability and I feel reduce teachers need to sit behind the screen acting like the internet watchdog.

"This app is extremely helpful when teaching students through technology."
5/5
What do you like best about Hāpara?

The most helpful part of Hāpara is being able to see students' screens while administering an online test to make sure they are focused only on the test. I also enjoy that screens can be paused, if necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hāpara?

The least helpful part of Hāpara is that it is hard to find the correct class quickly. It would help if all of the classes were organized by quarter or semester. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hapara Trainings"
5/5
What do you like best about Hāpara?

I love the ability to non-invasively check that students are on task with a technological assignment. I can message them personally to check in with them or prompt them to get on task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hāpara?

With the training I just did, I learned about features such as workspace and student dashboard that aren't available to all members. These are extra features that must be added on. I wish at a minimum that our district had the student dashboard as well as it helps students with executive functioning skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helpful filtering software that links to your Google Classroom"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hāpara?

I really like how you are able to link to your Google Classroom. I appreciate Hapara's focus on teaching students to become good digital citizens instead of simply blocking all distracting websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hāpara?

It took be a little bit to understand the difference between the highlights feature and the workspace feature. I wonder if renaming the "Highlights tab "to something like "Monitoring" may help alleviate confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great software"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hāpara?

I love Hapara's philosophy - protect, not police. We are able to use this to protect our students and to teach them good digital citizenship, while not feeling like police. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hāpara?

Everything works very well, but I hope in the future the administrative view could be a little more detailed. For example, there are some things that I can only find in the teacher view right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Creating meaningful learning for all to use anywhere"
5/5
What do you like best about Hāpara?

I like the fact I can create & set work for my students and link it in one place so they know where to find their work. I can differentiate without others knowing. I can keep an eye on what my students are doing and redirect them as required and offer feedback when I see they are going wrong. Students are able to work on their work even when they are away from school. If I am away I know my students know where to go and what to do with all the resources they need to support them in one place, making it easy for whoever comes in to cover just to supervise.

"Hapara Features and More"
5/5
What do you like best about Hāpara?

I like that students can use this program to organize themselves, but it is also teacher friendly. I can monitor students' computers and keep them on track silently without interrupting the whole class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hāpara?

Hapara is a web-based program with Google, so when students use their Chromebooks, we can only see programs based on the web. If a student was to download a game, we could not monitor that student because the game is not web-based. That being said, it is not the fault of Hapara. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
