佛羅里達州博卡拉頓 - 2024年5月22日 - Grom Social Enterprises,Inc.(納斯達克:GROm Gromsocial.com)是一家領先的提供家庭友好媒體和技術解決方案的供應商,今天宣佈,其面向13歲以下兒童的重新設計的Grom Social應用 - 安全和品牌保護,並於今年夏天首次亮相 - 將作爲應用程序的新功能之一,提供Grom Educational專有的數字公民許可證(DCL)課程的新版本,該課程全國各個學校可參與。 DCL迷你課程將由自定義頭像 - Grom稱其爲Gromatars - 提供,以強調社交媒體和互聯網上的負責任行爲對個人安全和防護的重要性。 Grom創始人扎克·馬克斯(Zach Marks)今天宣佈了DCL Gromatars。
Designed for kids under 13, who are typically barred from social media without parental consent, the new Grom app prompts users to create their own original social media profile avatar after a parent or caregiver signs a child up. Once parental consent is confirmed, the new user will be directed to create an original, custom social media profile avatar or "Gromatar" (no photos of kids are allowed). Each user can create their own profile image using the app's deep library of personalized assets including hairstyles, apparel, footwear, and other accessories.
新的Grom app是專爲年齡不到13歲的兒童設計的,通常未經父母同意是無法訪問社交媒體的。家長或看護人註冊兒童後,新用戶將被引導創建一個原創的、定製的社交媒體頭像或"Gromatar"(不允許使用兒童照片)。每個用戶都可以使用該應用程序深度個性化的資產庫創建自己的個人資料圖像,其中包括髮型、服裝、鞋類和其他配件。
For the DCL content, Grom will create custom Gromatars that offer instructions on how to be respectful of one another while safeguarding privacy when using social media, and why bullying and inappropriate language are unacceptable. The original Gromatars will be gradually introduced to Grom's feed this summer and be updated with new content and characters regularly.
對於DCL內容,Grom將創建定製的Gromatars,向用戶傳授如何使用社交媒體時相互尊重並保護隱私,以及爲什麼霸凌和不當用語是不可接受的。原始的Gromatars將在今年夏天逐步引入Grom的feed中,並定期更新新內容和新角色。
The new Gromatars are inspired by the Company's corporate sibling, Grom Educational Services, which offers the Digital Citizenship Licensing (DCL) course for K-12 school customers nationwide who utilize the company's NetSpective web filter solution. In schools, the DCL program is a series of instructional short-form videos, followed by a brief quiz to ensure student comprehension, and serves to complement in-classroom learning about internet and social media safety. The DCL also helps schools operate in compliance with the Children's Internet Safety Protection Act (CIPA), enacted by Congress in 2000 and designed to address concerns about children's access to obscene or harmful content. CIPA requires K-12 Schools and libraries to certify their Internet safety policies must include monitoring the online activities of minors, and as required by the Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act, it also provides for educating minors about appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social networking websites and in chat rooms, as well as cyberbullying awareness and response to qualify for e-rate funding discounts. Grom Educational's Netspective Web Filter solution, proprietary web filtering software that safeguards students from objectionable material, along with the updated DCL course provides a complete package to help educators meet all CIPA requirements. Additionally, Grom Social Enterprises operates Grom Social, a monitored social media app for kids under 13 who are routinely barred from most social media without parental consent.
新的Gromatars受到了公司旗下的Grom Educational Services的啓發,該服務爲使用公司的NetSpective網絡過濾解決方案的全國K-12學校客戶提供數字公民授權課程(DCL)。在學校中,DCL課程是一系列短教學視頻,隨後是一個簡短的測驗,以確保學生的理解,並輔助課堂內學習有關互聯網和社交媒體安全的知識。DCL還幫助學校符合國會於2000年頒佈的兒童互聯網安全保護法(CIPA)的規定,該法案旨在解決有關兒童接觸淫穢或有害內容的問題。 CIPA 要求K-12學校和圖書館必須證明其互聯網安全政策必須包括監控未成年人的在線活動,並按照《21世紀保護兒童法》的要求,還爲未成年人提供有關適當的在線行爲的教育,包括在社交網絡網站和聊天室中與其他人互動,以及針對網絡欺凌的意識和應對措施,以滿足e-rate 資金的享受條件。 Grom Educational的Netspective Web過濾解決方案是公司專有的網站過濾軟件,可爲學生防範有害材料,更新的DCL課程爲教育工作者提供了一個完整的解決方案,以幫助其滿足所有CIPA要求。此外,Grom Social Enterprises還經營着Grom Social,這是一個受監控的供兒童使用的社交媒體應用程序,用戶需要獲父母同意才能使用,此前年齡不到13歲的孩子通常無法正常使用社交媒體。
