brOOzi...internet for children!

I don't know about other parents, but I hawk eye my children when they are playing on line. You never know what sicko can get into a web site and place things that are not appropriate for them. I've been searching FireFox for some kinda net nanny for a while now and just found the PERFECT thing! It's called brOOzi! It places an icon right by the address bar in your FireFox browser. Once the kids click the pink thing (or the parents click it) it pulls up a browser just for the kids...and they can't type in other addresses that aren't allowed for them. You as a parent put in the web sites they can go to...now I just have to figure out how they can navigate from one page to another.

- To go from one page to another they need to pull down the address bar, kinda hard if your child can't read, but it seems that the pages stay in the same order, so they can remember by location...which will eventually become sight reading, a plus to me!

- WebKins doesn't work because of the re-direct that is required to log on.
