* Only acts on devices that have iRiS software installed (iRiS for Chromebook). * Parental Interaction has been designed to avoid the loss of parental control, in addition to creating a new model of digital coexistence in the home, consistent with the twenty-first century and digital natives. It facilitates the participation of parents in the supervision and security of their children. It is important to highlight that this function, configurable by parents on their own telephone, will be activated by the school only in the students they wish. This parental interaction includes the innovative PLEASE LISTEN function, which allows parents to pause their child's device for a limited time to perform a specific task (dinner, bathing, brushing their teeth, etc.), or simply chat.
