Description:

Cyber Patrol puts teachers in control of students' access to the Internet. Easy to learn and use, this utility allows teachers to restrict access to certain times of day, to limit the total time spent online in a day, and--most importantly--to block access to Internet sites they consider inappropriate.

Cyber Patrol comes with a CyberNOT Block List of researched Internet sites containing materials which parents and teachers may find questionable, as well as a CyberYES Allowed Sites List of researched sites containing fun and educational material for children. Teachers can designate the categories of content they wish to restrict and may override the standard lists to allow or restrict access to individual sites.

Features and Benefits

* HotNOTs provide a daily updated list of blocked sites

* Multiple levels of safeguards prevent students from disabling controls

* ChatGard (for Windows only) prevents students from revealing personal information online
