Review: Lanschool

Posted in Reviews

LanSchool was originally geared towards the classroom setting, but now the home version gives parents a tool for making the internet a safer place for their whole family.  Through computer monitoring, screen shots, web-filtering, website blocking, and other key features, parents are able to better protect their kids from unwanted information and images.  Parents can limit the programs and computer features that their kids use on the computer.  By using the remote access feature, parents are able to blank out the computer screen.

Zion: Temple of Sinawava

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures
