Digital Shepherds is a grassroots organization that seeks to help families bridge the digital divide separating parents and kids. Their primary focus is instructing and educating parents—through PTA meetings, churches, townhalls, corporate boardrooms and distance learning—how to “techno-proof� their homes and cultivate trust and digital literacy in the household.

The site calls our latest offering “very easy to install, configure, and run” and added that the software is “ahead of the curve” when it comes to video management. But don’t take our word for it:

One of our favorite features of the software is how the control panel is set up. It’s an activity oriented set up which makes it very intuitive. You want to filter web content? Click on the “Web� tab. Want to set up alerts for whenever a child attempts to circumvent a web filter or block? Click the “Instant Alerts� tab. Worth noting as well is that the “Music� tab also allows you to block explicit content from being downloaded on iTunes, but iTunes also has its own parental controls as well. That said, it’s nice to have the feature built into SafeEyes because there’s a lot to keep track of with children and computer use and being able to control multiple facets of your little ones’ computer use from one place is definitely a plus!
