Even today, it’s almost impossible to keep track of what you’re children are doing without making them think that you just don’t trust them. That’s something that technology hasn’t really changed. Some might even say that technology has brought out the worst in some parents, who use GPS and services like Foursquare and Facebook to block their children on every front. And that’s what makes something like this new app so interesting.
In essence, I’mOK rewards children for being connected, and using social services. Instead of making them afraid of checking in to sites like Foursquare, I’mOK makes kids use them willingly, as all they do will turn into points that they can then use to get rewards. These are agreed upon first with you (IE, their parents), and they can be just anything – from money to spend to special privileges, ImOK.com allows you and your children to agree on these things that they’d need the most.
The I’mOK mobile app can be downloaded for free at the App Store. Registering and adding family members is done in minutes, and the many intro screens that are provided are sure to let you get everything right the first time around.
