As one might imagine, being a middle school principal is full of adventures. With the gaining popularity of social media and cell phones, these adventures have come with a host of new challenges over the last several years.
Recently, I learned about a new app called OurPact, and I decided that this app should be shared with our parents. The app allows parents to do all of the following to manage/monitor phone use:
- Create timed daily schedules for internet usage
- Block certain apps
- Limit screen time
- Block on the spot
- Location tools
- Block inappropriate/adult content
- And more!
I am a believer in healthy boundaries with our teens when it comes to tech use, and this app seems to have it all! My children are too young for me to start using this tool, but hopefully it will be beneficial for you and your children, and I would love some feedback on your thoughts about how this app works.
Check out this blog or video for more information on how to get started with OurPact.
