Online Safety Education Taking America by Storm
It’s about that time, as the message is sinking in, that educational online safety panels, forums and meetings are taking place nationwide at town halls, schools and other public meeting places. Here are 2 stories about the efforts in Danbury Connecticut and Northwest Arkansas.
City to educate parents about online predators
Boozman summit covers protecting children online
Truthfully, I am very happy to see these popping up. One of our initiatives in 2008 will be getting placement/representation at these meetings. While a lot of education seems to be on knowing the threats out there, little is emphasized on how to prevent them or stop them from entering your home. Parents can sometimes be left with the “OK, this is good… but now what do I do” feeling. Well, our PC Pandora monitoring software is your answer!
…Now we just need a way to tell all these parents this! So we’re going to work on figuring out how. And I don’t mean a straight-up, blatant, uninformative product pitch as these meetings and gatherings. I mean an informative, “to help you out a bit in knowing what your child is up to, there is some great monitoring software out there that you can get – like PC Pandora version 5.0!”
I mean, seriously… If your job was to dig holes all day, and someone came up to you and said “hey, there is this tool called a shovel that will make this a bit easier for you”… wouldn’t you want to know more about it and get one?

Very nice article and this is defiantly a nice software system that parents who are looking to monitor their children’s online activities should get. As for the sales pitch part of this pcp pandora needs to give out a disk with a trial period of the software on it, after parents try it out I am sure it would encourage them to buy it and would get a lot of testimonials.

Actually, you can download it from the site and get a 48-hour trial version — but you are right, and that is something we are figuring out the logistics of… a demo disc to hand out at these meetings. That would basically ensure sales…

Yes it would many people do not like downloading things most parents are not that savvy with computers and feel much more comfortable with a disc that they can easily put in there computer rather than downloading some software, especially with all the talk of viruses and trojan horses these days people are especially monitoring what they are downloading.
