Grom Social says redesigned app to feature updated version of DCL course

Grom Social Enterprises announced that its redesigned Grom Social app, for kids under the age of 13, brand-safe and debuting this summer, will feature a new, updated version of Grom Educational’s proprietary Digital Citizenship License course, offered to schools nationwide, as part of the app’s new offerings. The DCL mini-lessons will be delivered by custom avatars – which Grom calls Gromatars – that underscore how responsible behavior on social media and the internet is so vital to one’s safety and security. The DCL Gromatars were announced by Grom’s Founder, Zach Marks. Designed for kids under 13, who are typically barred from social media without parental consent, the new Grom app prompts users to create their own original social media profile avatar after a parent or caregiver signs a child up. Once parental consent is confirmed, the new user will be directed to create an original, custom social media profile avatar or “Gromatar”. Each user can create their own profile image using the app’s deep library of personalized assets including hairstyles, apparel, footwear, and other accessories.
