Here’s the dilemma: You want your kids to be web-savvy enough to go online and get information for school projects. After all, no one has encyclopedias anymore—everything is online. And of course you want them to stay on top of what is going on in the ever-expanding virtual world. But how do you filter out the bad stuff?

Introducing KidZui (pronounced kid-zoo-ee), “The Internet For Kids.” KidZui launched this past March after two years of extensive development and testing. This subscription-based browser is chock full of kid-friendly data to help them discover and explore. With a team consisting of over 200 teachers and parents who scoured the web to find the over half a million websites appropriate for kids three- to 12-years-old—KidZui takes the worry out of our kids’ web surfing.

Highlights include:

• Everything is age appropriate so searching is easier, more concise.
• It’s good for readers and non-readers, with lots of photo sites.
• All content is categorized for your kid’s interest.
• There is a parent section so you can see what your kid has been searching—great for family conversations.
• Kids can create an avatar and personalize their homepage—for g-rated (and parent monitored) self-expression.
• Youngsters earn points for exploring KidZui web options and rate how much they like (or don’t like) the content.
• Visitors can mark their favorite sites so they can be found easily, plus share them with their online friends.
