Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

How would you like to avoid the suspense that comes with an upcoming product launch?
To not only get to preview something new and exciting, but also to give your feedback on this new technology?

It’s like a movie premiere without the need to buy tickets..
It’s the ultimate in product testing!
Sit back, relax and explore a brand-new product from the comfort of your own home..

Ok, we’ll stop with the suspense.. :)

We at KIDO’Z are excited to announce the opening of the KIDO’Z Preview Club!

What this means for participants is that they will have the opportunity to preview, test and review new KIDO’Z versions before the official launch date.
Kids will not have to wait to enjoy the fantastic new features that we have in store, as by simply enjoying the new version, they are valuable testers too!

Are you interested in joining the KIDO’Z Preview Club?

If so, all that you need to do is send us an email to info@kidoz.net with the following details:

  • Full Name
  • Country
  • Contact Email Address

We will then send you the latest version of KIDO’Z as soon as it is ready for testing to download and test.

And all that is left to do is for you and your kid(s) to explore the new features and let us know what you think!

Places in the Preview Club are limited so please contact us as soon as possible to ensure that your spot is reserved.

Take care

How to Rate and Review Kids’ Web Content

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

KIDO’Z content can be personalized by parents and teachers in many different ways, and one of these ways is through the rating and reviewing of content.

Websites, video channels and games can be quickly and easily rated through the Parental Control Account by simply clicking on the number of stars applicable to your rating. To review content, all you need to do is fill in the description below the rating box.

The KIDO’Z community is made up of parents and teachers of KIDO’Z users, and this system allows the community members to share their kids’ experiences with specific kids’ content.

Members of the community can discuss the content with other parents and teachers and in doing so, can discover what other kids enjoy and can see how content is generally rated by the community. This can be done either by name or anonymously, whichever you prefer.

Here is a short tutorial showing how to rate and review content in KIDO’Z:

Have a good week!

Transitioning from ‘Vacation’ to ‘Education’

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

With ‘back-to-school’ just around the corner, kids and parents alike are getting ready for the new school year.

Whether your kid is starting pre-school or grade school for the very first time, or is returning to school for the next grade, there is always a lot of excitement and preparation ahead.

To help kids get into the ‘new-school-year’ spirit, we’ve added loads of new videos into the KIDO’Z educational video channels.

Whether your child is still learning his/her ABC’s, loves creative crafts, or is fascinated by scientific experiments, there is something for every learning level.

The KIDO’Z Smart Content Engine also ensures that content is customized according to your child’s age, so that he/she will have access to only age-appropriate educational material.

Here are some of the KIDO’Z Educational Video Channels:

  • Stories Channel
  • Learning Channel
  • Science Channel
  • ‘How-To’ Channel

These kids’ videos educate children in a fun and stimulating way to make the transition from ‘vacation’ to ‘education’ even simpler!

Parents and educators worldwide are constantly adding new educational material into KIDO’Z, which keeps the content fresh for kids throughout the school year.

If you have any educational videos that you would like to add, please do so from the Parental Control Account and please contact us at support@kidoz.net if you have any questions.

Wishing you all the best for the new school year ahead.
