The short answer: children are always learning and play is learning. A bit longer answer: we as parents, guardians or teachers must offer EVERY chance to kids to learn and understand concepts in multiple ways.
As parents we have many choices – too many choices. Some of them are not so critical (choice of clothing, dental floss, salt…) and some matter more (education, morals and value system…) Every choice matters on different levels. In my family we sometimes take on a divide and conquer approach to parenting (splitting responsibilities.) I have taken over my son’s video game education.
(up to being a tween…after that …. still trying to figure it out!)
Some games are just for fun and others offer the opportunity for experiential learning. Games like Dungeons and Dragons foster imagination, collaboration and exploration. If your child is into gaming read on about how you can turn that passion into a love of learning!
Is your child interested in the human body, medicine and more? There are amazing apps and resources here on Anything Academic that can help them explore and learn in a fun and exciting way!
Gameschooling is an excellent way to keep your child engaged with their education. But more than that, by using games as a means of student-led learning, apps can encourage children to develop a life-long love of learning.
From birth to age 5, a toddler’s brain is continuously developing. Harness this development with learning apps to enhance your toddler’s learning experiences.
One of the best aspects of gameschooling is that it brings families together. It replaces homework with family games that teach while having fun.
