Students in a Texas school district will receive iPod Touch devices with parental controls supplied by Thousand Oaks firm Mobicip. Terms of the deal between Mobicip and the Jim Ned Consolidated Independent School District in Tuscola, Texas were not disclosed. Adoption of Mobicip’s parental controls by a school district is a testament to its capabilities, said founder and CEO Suren Ramasubbu. “Personalized learning and mobility fundamentally transform how children learn and we are proud to play a significant role in the process,” Ramasubbu said. The program allows the students to use the iPod Touch in school and at home. Facilitated by Milicip’s control services, the school district allows students to explore and experience the Internet, App Store, music, videos and podcasts, with safe school-generated and approved content. The school board and administration selected Mobicip’s Safe Browser app and web-based monitoring service after reviewing multiple services. Thom Senzee
