On today’s program we discussed several free resources for protecting your children online. Here are some links from a recent PCWorld Article:
Quintura – Safe search engine for kids
Kid’oz – Free and safe kid’s web browser (requires Adobe Air)
KidZui – Another kid’s web browser
OpenDNS – What PCWorld called “The Big Gun.” Free server-level filtering for your home.
OpenDNS is AWESOME
not only is it kid safe… BUT it is general safe computing.
Phishing scams, clickjacking, etc are all harder when you use OpenDNS
I am definitely going to check all these sites out. With 5 girls and 4 who actively use my computer it is SO IMPORTANT for them to NOT see inappropriate stuff that is out there. Heck, I really don’t want to see most of what is out there 😉
