There is no way to put parental controls on these devices so students have unlimited access to the internet, camera, etc. You can limit purchases from the B&N store, but that it it. This was a VERY expensive mistake I made. I purchased 6 of these and can’t use or return any of them.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Additionally, I would caution you from using B&N for any of your school needs. The hoops the company made me jump through just to try and get answers was ridiculous. I emailed countless times, called 3 times, spoke to 4 different people (two supervisors) and went into the store twice. NO help.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I worked with B&N for years with no issue, but this has been enough to turn me away from the company for good.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Hopefully, this email help inform any future school purchases.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
