TECHNOLOGY TIPS - PARENTS BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF FOR A NEW CHILDREN'S SITE
Worried about what your child might see on the
Internet? Relax, and enter KIDO'Z, the
web world for children.
The new, easy-to-use KIDO'Z V1.0 software allows children to
play--and parents to breathe. No more
worries about adult content as your children surf, enjoy videos, and play
computer games. KIDO'Z, tailored to
children ages 3-7, provides a safe web environment with age-appropriate
content. KIDO'Z vigilantly monitors web
content but also empowers you the parent/caregiver to block material from your children.
Does your 6-year-old son speak Spanish and have an affinity
for cats? Does your French-speaking 7-year-old
niece have an interest in stringed instruments? KIDO'Z, in addition to providing original
content, allows you to create your own content based on your child's age,
gender, spoken language, interests, and other variables.
You can easily tailor your child's web content. Simply enter a password to your Control Panel,
and begin adding (as well as blocking) content on your child's KIDO'Z
account.
Parents and caregivers, you may also post/exchange your
content ideas with others through the KIDO'Z web group (pending KIDO'Z stamp of
approval, of course).
Do you have a child who has not yet learned to read and
write? KIDO'Z software allows children
of every age and ability explore the web via simple, interactive graphics
that guide every step of the way.
Good to know there is a safe place in the web fabric for
every family member.
