Technology has changed over the past four years and now better than ever parents have the tools and resources they need at their finger tips to protect their children online. Looking for an alternative to Facebook for your kids? Here are my recommendations:
ClubTuki - for ages 4 - 14. This technology combines online safety and educational games by The Children's Educational Network. Affordable for parents and downloadable from their website Shrek gives animated tips for online safety and provides a safe browser for children all combined with a parental control panel.
Meeville - for ages 4 to 17. This technology is a portable flash drive product that gives parents a monitoring tool for anywhere their children go and plug in. Meeville offers a Free Child ID profile for families up to four children. This profile can be accessed by law enforcement and approved medical personnel. Meeville specializes in age appropriate desk top website destinations for your children.
SurfKight - for the younger internet users. Free browser with parental control component. Mulit-language translator; customized settings for age appropriate user; includes dictionary and encylopedia; bookmarks predesignated websites set by parents; reads websites out loud in English.
A great alternative in social networking directed at tweens. ItsMyLocker verifies the parent to the child. Designed to connect tweens and teens to people already in their community. No chat rooms and no private messaging; teachers and coaches are allowed to connect with their students, but a child cannot request a friendship with an adult. ItsMyLocker was developed with the counsel and direction of over 30 law enforcement professionals, undercover detectives, FBI agents, prosecutors and child internet safety advocates.
