One of my co-workers (the wonderful Rachel Ceballos who is our college pastor) also does some great stuff with XXXChurch.com. She introduced me to a site Craig Gross (the founder of both XXXChurch and iParent) launched to help parents be more aware of things students are partaking online and through apps on their smart phones.

Each app or online site is reviewed in a short video to give you a brief discription of what is is used for in a very honest and open way. Here are some examples of each video:
