On Monday, June 24, winter vacation officially began, a period in which basic and middle school students have a break from the classroom.
During this break it is common for children to be in search of new panoramas, and for this reason, technology can become a great ally to entertain themselves with the rest of the family and not leave the house as much due to low temperatures.
In GoogleIn fact, they offer several free and open access products to enjoy this vacation period. These are some of them.
Google resources to browse safely
Parental controls. Because children and teenagers have more free time this season, supervising digital content can be a real challenge for adults.
Against this backdrop, the Family Link tool allows families to establish basic rules for device use, and at the same time, makes it possible to manage the accounts of the little ones. Some of the measures that can be done with the resource are setting limits on screen time, approving or rejecting requests to extend that period, and monitoring applications that you want to download.
Prevent explicit content. With SafeSearch, parents have the option to restrict the results that appear in the Search engine to prevent children and teenagers from being confronted with inappropriate content while browsing. It also allows parents to manage search results, with the aim of not displaying violent or explicit content.
Bartolito’s adventures on the Internet. Youtube Kids developed a list of five episodes in collaboration with El Reino Infantil, where iconic characters from La Granja de Zenón share messages and advice on how to navigate safely online. The content covers topics such as avoiding potential plots or how to be kinder in the digital space.
Spaces for conversation and play. Another of the tools offered by Google is Be Great on the Internet, a program that seeks to enable children to explore cyberspace in a responsible and conscious manner. The program offers games, interactive materials and activities with different purposes, for example, helping them know how to protect their identity when they are on the Internet.
History and security. With Google Arts & Culture, children and adolescents will be able to learn about how security was used in the past, the way it evolved over the years and the devices used to store information or objects. The resource also allows you to tour exhibitions with immersive visits, in addition to participating in games such as puzzles and crosswords to learn more about art, music and history.
