Education has changed a lot over the last couple of decades. Institutional based education is still present. However, there is more focus than ever on learning at home, continuing one’s education, and using the Internet for the glorious information tool that it is. Childhood is particularly important for learning.
In our house, we don’t spend a ton of time on technology but when we do, I make sure that it is educational. Wasting time on mindless apps makes absolutely no sense to me when kids LOVE learning new things and can do so by flashy, fun apps that catch their attention. There is no need for something non-educational in my eyes. Here are my top 5 Kid Apps you must have.
