Like you I stumbled across it and was doing some research on how it works and what it can do to keep our kids safer online. Thanks for an excellent and clear overview.

For younger children - who are not yet out there to rebel and break free from the restrictiveness - Kidzui is definitely a safe, fun way for them to safely play a few games online.

And many kids, rebelling against these restrictions, devote their best efforts to busting out of the products' control.KidZui indeed takes a different approach. I think that for preschoolers or children not familiar with the Internet, this approach may work.

We do want them to be successful, and the more they know about computers, the better off they will be. Not screanaholics of course. I agree they absolutely need to have plenty of time playing outside. I never played video games as a child, other than Pac-Man on the ferry which I had to ride whenever we left Long Island. My mom would give me a coin and I would play once or twice - had the time of my life. And then I went upstairs to watch the water go by. To this day I have been otherwise disinterested in video games of any nature. Actually I have an aversion to them. A few years ago I tried to play one and I couldn't stand it. The pointlessness! But on the other side of the coin, there is something I probably should mention. When I was 9-10 years old my mother moved me and my sisters to another state so she could Home School us. Try as she might to get me to study math and do tests for my correspondence school, the truth was that I spent the better part of a year running around outside in the reeds and on the beaches of Cape Cod. Oh - and there was a theater class (Winnie the Poo), art lessons, Sunday school in my friend's Church, planting pussywillows, and listening to my mother read The Lord of the Rings aloud to us every night (while defining all the new words). I also spent some of my spare time researching nutrition if I remember correctly! Ha. Anyway, after I spent a year of wandering around the beaches, making shell candles, and generally messing around, we had to return to New York State and thus to public school. Mysteriously I was ahead of everyone in my class. I moved up to the higher classes for the fifth grade. But eventually that didn't cut it, and I had to be shipped off to a special school for smarter kids. At least I got teased a less. Anyway, that just goes to show what running around in the reeds can do. annaverawilliamss last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ResidualStreamsOfIncome/~3/371359854/" rel="nofollow">Contests for Traffic</a> Educating children in computer technology from an early age is obviously vital.

Of course, being the geek I am, I have installed a filter on their pc so it blocks the blacklisted stuff...but this one seems a bit better. When sites must be white listed, I think the control is a lot better. Especially for my 5 year old! I will have to check this out.

To create a means for children to learn how to utilize the internet occasionally for gathering important information or whatever a parent determines is pertinent for their child (maybe finding info on something their child is interested in) is fine. The concept though of allowing the parents to be able to see their child's activity is brilliant and can create a great opportunity to dialogue in families. Nothing substitutes going outside and playing discovering the outside world while using your imagination independent of the idiot box or internet.
