So you finally bought your kid a kindle. After several bouts of pleading and a couple of "But Mom...everyone has one!" it was inevitable. Besides, his school, like many others in America, has embraced the "Bring Your Own Technology" initiative. Allowing him to integrate his Kindle Fire at school would greatly improve his overall learning experience. Having access to thousands of ebooks and games formatted for children would be a welcoming break from homework. He'd also have access to the internet with Kindle Cloud Read which would run in the web browser. Having a built-in Wi-Fi system is a cost savings for the family without the need of main routers and extra wiring. Ironically, it's this efficiency and flexibility that has parents across the country concerned.
Safeguarding children online is probably one of the most challenging obstacles to defeat in the world of technology. Studies show that children and teens are bombarded with inappropriate content either inadvertently or intentionally. Parents also have to be vigilant in protecting their kids (and wallets) from unscrupulous online retailers who target unsuspecting children in order to make a sale. You can filter your kid's Kindle Fire by obtaining a cloud-based, internet filter/parental control service compatible with mobile internet devices. The service is very cheap. In fact, Mobicip sells one for under five bucks. That's less than a cup of coffee in some places!
Next, filter your kid's Kindle Fire by following the 3 steps below:
Step 1- Tap the Settings icon at the top right of the screen. Select More > Device. Find and set Allow installation of applications from unknown sources to ON.
Step 2- Open the browser. This will download the software into your "downloads" folder. Touch the top left of your screen to access the downloaded file.
Step 3- Touch the Mobicip APK file and install it. If it is successful, you should see the Mobicip icon on your Apps screen.
Safeguarding your child shouldn't be intimidating nor arduous. Adding a filter should be as easy as accessing the World Wide Web. Using technology to learn, grow and entertain should be a pleasurable experience. More importantly, it should be a worry-free opportunity to share with your loved ones. Now that you've filtered your kid's Kindle Fire you and your family can safely surf the web, watch free movies, read great books, and listen to awesome music in a wonderful environment!
