ZAC Browser

Those of you who have small children, grandchildren, or are teachers may be interested in this website I have to share with you today. A colleague at one of the schools I travel to introduced me to this as she and her husband use it with their children at home. Take a look at ZAC Browser (www.zacbrowser.com). ZAC Browser was designed by a computer engineer after his grandson was showing signs of autism. He wanted an interactive site that would engage his autistic grandson while helping him learn, so the idea for ZAC Browser was born.

ZAC browser, though, is wonderful for all children whether they are on track developmentally or have special needs. ZAC Browser is either downloaded to your computer or just run straight from the site and provides a safe environment for children to play online. When it loads you get an overlay type screen which is essentially a new desktop screen that can only be exited by pressing CTRL-L on your keyboard. This is indicated on the bottom right of the screen. Most young children are not going to figure this out and therefore will be safe and not accidentally clicking and exiting into random websites and bunches of ads.

ZAC browser provides many engaging activities for kids to enjoy such as games, music, stories, and even TV/video clips of modern and classic children's shows. I even found some neat clips that you people my age would enjoy seeing!! Take a look at the You Tube clip below to hear more about ZAC Browser.

Have a blessed Sunday!
