   Gaggle

   Jan 1999 — Present

   I founded Gaggle after attending the Texas Computer Education Association conference in 1998. I asked a teacher if she was using email with her students and she replied,\"No way. My School District would never let me give the kids an email account.\" I started asking the \"why questions,\" and it was all about safety and security, so I set about solving these problems. What is Gaggle? Gaggle ensures the safety of students through early warning detection of self-harm, drug or alcohol use, cyberbullying, pornography and other harmful situations. By combining machine learning technology with real people, our expert Safety Representatives, schools and districts can create safe digital learning environments for communication, collaboration and learning. Gaggle continues to innovate, also providing school and district websites that unify the online experience, affordable archiving, backup and records retention and professional development and training on Gaggle products, Google Apps for Education and Office 365.
