Parents and educators understand the importance of parental controls on student devices, but keeping teens safe while using smartphones and tablets can be an enormous challenge. Fortunately, both Apple and Android devices have some great built-in options that can be customized to fit individual needs. These parental control tools can help parents make sure students only see age appropriate content so they can keep students safe in the online world.
