Nowadays with so many educational apps options available, it can be very challenging for any parents to choose the right app for their children.
The good news is that apps are a promising educational tool that supports literacy, math, science and life skills. There is no easy answer. Just like books and toys, the most popular app won’t always be what’s best or most interesting to your preschooler.
What Skidos team can offer are some tips to help you as a parent to choose the right educational app.
A good app is a perfect combination of education and entertainment. When kids are engaged they learn. An Educational app is a balance between entertainment and engagement.
As an example, we have Milk Hunt School Math Edition. It provides children in grades K-5 (6 years & above) fun and interactive math practice. It can be used just like worksheets for regular daily practice, to catch up to grade level or to work on a math problem that challenges students beyond their grade level.
This edition has been designed especially for use in a classroom environment. It is based on feedback received from teacher around the world. The game is available to download on the App Store and Google Play store. In overall, choose educational apps that support learning at school!
To support your kids future development, as a parent you have to ensure that they are playing apps designed for their age. Parents must know the level of education of their kids.
For example, A kid of 3 years old cannot play the game of the 10 years old one. Simply because he wouldn’t be able to understand and capture the information.
In overall parents should select games that are appropriate for their kids. Also, ensure that the navigation through the app is not too complex.
Think of a subject that your child is passionate about and look for an app that supports his/her learning in this weather that is about volcanoes, Tudors, maths, trucks or princesses! You then get your child active.
Furthermore exploring and playing together with his friends or parents, teachers encourage social development, creativity and beyond.
It’s important to check reviews often. Try to choose an app that is already being used by schools, teachers or recommended by other parents.
Whatever apps you are interested in your child we recommend you to read reviews before downloading it. It actually defines if the app is appropriated for your child or not.
Choose apps that will support the learning outcomes you require for your child and reinforce what they are learning.
For example, Milk Hunt math School Edition offers a weekly report feature: The student is able to track his or her weekly progress. The game helps to identify each students areas of strengths and weaknesses.
