What are Glubble’s unique features?
Glubble offers many features for kids to discover and learn and for families to play together. Glubble is an online family activity center where the whole family comes together around their private homepage. Here families can undertake all kinds of activities together: chat, post messages for one another and share their family photos online. Children can play thousands of games, discover Web sites on topics that interest them, learn foreign languages, listen to audio books, view cartoons, print coloring pages and collect downloadable Play Art featuring a cast of original characters Gotcha Pals. And only with Glubble, parents are given full support by pre-approving every Web site before their children can access them.

How involved should parents be in setting up safe spaces and supervising children online?
Using the Internet is just like any other activity and parents should be given full support to approve the content that their children are exposed to in advance. Just as responsible parents select books to read to their children—and determine which TV shows their children can watch—with Glubble, parents can pre-approve all Web sites that their children can access. The result is a fun and safe “play space” for children… and a high level of comfort for parents.

How does Glubble help children learn?
Children learn through activities that keep them engaged and by discovering new information on their own. With Glubble, kids learn new skills by playing games and entertaining exercises… and are free to safely discover new lessons by surfing parent-approved Web sites. At the same time they’re using Glubble to play, children are learning how to use computers responsibly since their parents are supervising the content that is appropriate for them and sharing in their online experience.

Does Glubble grow with children?
Absolutely! Glubble is for families with kids under 12. Some kids are using computers as early as age 3. Many use computers to play and learn by ages 5 and 6. No matter your child’s age, Glubble lets you select age-appropriate games, learning exercises, coloring pages, Web sites and audio books. You can use Glubble to learn the ABC’s or advance into lessons about ancient history and astronomy. Color simple characters or construct toys from downloadable “play art” characters. With Glubble adding more activities every week, there’s plenty of ways for families to grow with Glubble!

How does Glubble ensure that kids can’t access Web sites their parents have not approved?
Glubble understands that only parents know what is best for their own children and places the responsibility where it belongs—with parents. Just as parents approve all books, televisions shows, games and films for their children, the same rule applies with Glubble. And before children can access any new Web sites or online content, their parents must first approve access to them. Plus, parents can add new sites whenever they want, and Glubble provides many recommendations for all age groups.
