NetSupport DNA offers keyword and phrase monitoring tools, age-appropriate internet controls, concern reporting to trusted staff, and access to self-help resources.

“Often, discussions around kids and technology begin and end with all the don’ts. We are committed to changing this narrative from the reactive to the proactive where the don’ts become I will statements and the positives outweigh the negatives,” states Dr. Marialice B.F.X. Curran, Founder and Executive Director of the Digital Citizenship Institute. The Institute expands the digital safety discussion to explore how adults and children can also work side-by-side to learn about and experience deliberate, positive uses of technology together.
