Custom-Made Internet For Kids

Monday, September 7th, 2009

Do 3 year olds like the same content as 6 year olds?

Do kids in China like the same content as American kids?

Do girls like the same content as boys?

The answer to these is a definite no.

And this is why we developed the KIDO’Z Smart Engine at the heart of our system. This engine automatically personalizes the KIDO’Z content stream for each kid according to his/her profile.

When a parent registers his/her child as a KIDO’Z user, the system asks for the age, gender, language and nationality of the child.

The KIDO’Z content is then automatically filtered for each child according to these variables, creating a custom-made KIDO’Z user experience.

And as a result, each kid has access only to the best and most relevant websites, videos and games for him/her. This content is totally age, gender and culturally appropriate, and is in the language(s) that the kid speaks and understands.

Since parents know their kids best, they can customize this even more by editing the engine rules specifically for their kid and by adding new content.

We hope that each and every kid enjoys their custom-made KIDO’Z experience and we wish all those who are celebrating Labor Day today, a relaxing, recreational and restful day.

How to Customize Kids’ Web Content Access

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

At KIDO’Z, content is king.

But not just any content.

All KIDO’Z content is hand-picked by loving parents around the world in many different languages. This content is then screened by our moderation team before it is allowed to join the public domain.

Only the best and most kid-friendly kids’ content makes it through our moderation team to get the KIDO’Z seal of approval.

And so, KIDO’Z brings the top kids’ content to children globally in a safe, fun and easy-to-use environment, and filters content for each child based on age, gender and language.

As we know and respect that parents have differing beliefs and preferences, the KIDO’Z system allows parents to customize their child’s access to this content.

What this means is that as a parent, you can easily extend your control over your child’s access to KIDO’Z content through the Parental Control Account.

Here, you have two options:

  • To allow all KIDO’Z content and then manually block content that you do not want your kid to access, or
  • To block all KIDO’Z content and then manually approve content that you do allow your kid to access

Here is a quick tutorial showing how to control access to KIDO’Z content:

Have a great week!

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!
