Week of September 8, 2014<\/i><\/p>\n

To help you keep up with what\u2019s going on with kids, families, schools, and technology, we\u2019ve compiled a list of stories, tips, and insights, we\u2019ve found most useful over the past week.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i>ONE DAD\u2019S EFFECITVE, POSITIVE USE OF YOUTUBE<\/b><\/p>\n

A father, fed up with his kids\u2019 refusal to do household chores, decided to reach them where he knew they would listen: the Internet. \u00a0He created a YouTube video with detailed instructions on how to change a toilet paper roll<\/a> and the video has already received over 3 million views on YouTube. \u00a0Because of the video\u2019s popularity, he\u2019s decided to create more instructional videos for his kids.<\/p>\n

Dear sir: could you please do one that shows kids how to hang a jacket on a hook?<\/p>\n

GOOGLE REFUND<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>Google has agreed to pay at least $19 million in refunds in a settlement case involving kids making unauthorized mobile app purchases<\/a>. In addition to the settlement, Google will also change its billing practices to ensure consumers are informed and consent to all purchases made within mobile apps. While these changes demonstrate the FTC\u2019s fight to ensure consumers are not taken advantage of, parents should still be actively involved in setting up restrictions<\/a>\u00a0on mobile devices and teaching their kids to ask before buying.<\/p>\n

CELEBRITY APPLE ACCOUNTS HACKED<\/b><\/p>\n

Last week, the Apple accounts of Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton were compromised<\/a> and photos of them not likely meant for public view were leaked on the Internet. \u00a0It turns out, the hackers didn\u2019t break into Apple\u2019s systems. \u00a0The hackers were able to get into their accounts by guessing their passwords (and answers to security questions associated with their accounts) or tricking them into giving up their passwords in order to gain access to the accounts. \u00a0Apple is stepping up its security measures as a result.<\/p>\n

You might say this is the price of fame, but nobody is immune from this.\u00a0 The best way to prevent this from happening to you or your kids is to use strong passwords, change them often, and also use Apple\u2019s 2-step authentication<\/a> feature to make sure your Apple Account is the most secure.<\/p>\n

See you next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
