KIDO’Z
“The KIDO’Z Kid’s Web Environment is the safe, easy and fun way for young kids to surf their favorite sites, watch videos, play games, send emails, create and communicate without knowing how to read and write!” – This piece of software looks great, maybe we can trial it with some of the younger children in school, and also get the parents involved. I love the idea of it, especially when so may parents are still wary of the internet for their younger children.
