What Is It? 

Think.com is a web-based environment focused on students between the ages of 7-13, funded entirely by Oracle Corporation. It is a “protected sub-web” that is not open or visible to the entire Internet, yet it does have member schools all over the world. Member students receive free email and websites, plus the ability to send instant notes to other members. Every member is given access to the tools and space to create and share their work online, i.e. posting articles, poetry, pictures, lists, media, and interactive items like message boards, debates, and requests for votes.

How Is Content Monitored to Keep Children Safe? 

Only students and teachers can obtain accounts to Think.com, provided they are part of a member school. Every contribution and item of content posted in Think.com is identified by the author. This individual identity label encourages responsible behavior. All members of Think.com are asked to abide by the "Rules" of Think.com as described in the Terms of Use before they can build their website. Oracle and the Think.com staff take the subject of children's privacy and online protection very seriously. They make every effort to institute policies that ensure the protection of minors accessing and using Think.com. In addition, Mann students sign a Network User Agreement and, as of Third Quarter, a specific Think.Com agreement. Think.com includes special Admin Tools that allow regular content and image searches by each participating school. Each member school is responsible for the regular review and removal of materials that do not meet the standards as set forth in the Think.com Terms of Use or the school's Acceptable Use Policy.
