Keeping Children Safe Online

This year we were able to attend the Cybher conference and this was partly thanks to a wonderful company TwoTen. I first heard about  Two Ten through a friend and began speaking to their virtal duck Peepus on Twitter. I love the idea of finding ways for children to safely use technology with out any risks and that's exactly what what Two Ten seek to do. P is always using the internet through our tablets or the laptop to play educational games but I'm sure it will not take longer for her to start wandering onto different sites. 

This is what Two Ten  say they have to offer..

TwoTen is an online protection and guidance service for younger children - sort of a web filter only cleverer. You don't have to install any software and there's almost nothing to configure. TwoTen technology can protect a child whether they are browsing the Internet with a PC, a netbook, a smartphone or a tablet - if it can browse the web TwoTen can protect it.

TwoTen's approach is fundamentally different to other web and Internet filtering systems you may have seen; we believe the protection and boundaries should be absolute and that younger children (that's who our product is for) need guidance as much as they need protection. We're also pretty sure that many parents and teachers are not technical experts and those that have technical skills are too busy to learn a new complex tool. So TwoTen guides children as well as protects them, while being incredibly simple to use for parents and teachers.

We hope to do some more work with Two Ten over the next year and will keep you up dated.
