How to Block Websites for your Kid

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Likes and dislikes, tastes and preferences are a part of what makes each person unique.

And who understands a child’s preferences better than his/her own parents?

KIDO’Z has many different personalization options, and one of these is the option of blocking websites.

Not all kids enjoy the same content – maybe your little boy does not like Barney, or your young daughter is not such a Barbie fan. Only you know best.

We have put this content control in the hands of the parents, and we’ve made it as easy as possible for you to block any sites that you do not want your kid to see. And it’s just as easy to re-approve sites after they’ve been blocked.

Here is our quick tutorial showing how to Block and Re-approve Websites in KIDO’Z:

Look out for upcoming ‘How To’ tutorials showing other ways in which you can customize KIDO’Z.

All the best,

Overcoming your Kid’s Internet Language Barrier

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

Kids communicate, read books, watch television and play games in their own language, so why should their Internet experience be any different?

Children today are an avid Internet user group and, as they are accessing the Internet from all over the world, they require content in many different languages. As there is a huge supply of kids’ content available on the Internet, it is just matter of finding the best content in your kid’s language.

KIDO’Z Speaks Your Kid’s Language

KIDO’Z does this for you by giving you the ability to customize content for your child based on his/her language.

To ensure that your child is accessing content in his/her mother-tongue, you can set KIDO’Z to show only content in his/her preferred language. And if your child is multi-lingual, you can choose for content to be available in up to 3 languages from a selection of over 160 different languages.

This may be done through the Account page of the Parental Control Account under Language Preferences/Kid’s Details.

KIDO’Z Speaks Your Language

And for you, the parent, the KIDO’Z application itself is easily changed into your own language. What this means is that the entire application from the User Interface to the Parental Control Account can be changed into your native language from a choice of 17 languages, to make Parental Control even simpler for you.

This setting is available on the log-in page of your Parental Control Account as well as in your Account section under Parent’s Details. All you need to do is to select your preferred language from a drop-down list.

To show you how to change the content language settings for your child and how to change the application language, here is our full video tutorial:

Create your Kid’s Personal YouTube Playlist

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Hi All,

Don’t you just love YouTube? Adding videos, watching videos, sharing them with your friends, creating playlists..

It’s just like TV…only better. Why? Because you can watch what you want when you want it. And, most importantly, you can add your favorite videos, and you can even be a star of your very own YouTube videos.

KIDO’Z brings YouTube to kids directly from the KIDO’Z application. From the Video section, kids have access to an endless supply of moderated childrens’ YouTube videos.

These videos are grouped into Channels..just like TV..only better!

No adverts, no inappropriate cartoons (some of those TV cartoons can be pretty frightening :) ), no channel hopping. Just the best kid’s videos in a safe environment.

And because we know that no two kids are the same, you can create your child’s very own YouTube playlist directly from KIDO’Z.

Here is a quick video tutorial showing you exactly how to add and share new videos in KIDO’Z. It’s really simple and really quick to do:

Have fun!

Nici, KIDO’Z
