How to help your child learn better with a tablet

In some schools, teachers are selected thematic movies on subjects that students were interesting to perceive knowledge, in other educational institutions continue to use only textbooks. If teachers are not able to interest the child object, you can do it yourself with the help of educational films and application. Read below for where to find educational materials for school children of all ages.

We have previously written, at what age you can acquaint the child with smartphones and tablets. In fact, some children get acquainted with the gadgets already in the second year of life, and the first class have great guided them.

You can start up to chance child communication with the tablet or take control of the process. In the first case it is waiting for a lot of fun from the games and funny videos in the second - new knowledge that will not get in school. Below I will give you some ways to ensure your child supplementary education with a smartphone or tablet.

Watch educational videos

Where to look for videos that will help children to better navigate the different objects? However, where you are looking for movies, music videos and tutorials for yourself on YouTube and social network "VKontakte".

YouTube videos can be viewed from the native host application, but if it jams, you can try Freedi YouTube Player for iOS and Android.

In the video it does not slow down and do not stutter, and handy player makes it easy to dissipate, and watch video from any location. However, it does have a minus - an abundance of annoying advertising.

Do not forget that you can search for playlists, which can often stumble on collections for school. On YouTube a lot of educational playlists as the subject-specific and mixed training sets.

The latter is often found in the kits of primary school age. For example, engaging lessons Robert Sahakyants. Here in the form of a colorful cartoon given basic knowledge on different subjects: geography, world history, arithmetic, natural history, English, physics and so on..

For older students, too, have the resources to gather all in a row, such as "Educational videos TED» group "It works" in the social network "VKontakte".

There are a lot of interesting clips from the magazine Naked Science, translated from English, such as "How to distinguish truth from falsehood in the news? "," Silk Road "," carbon cycle "and other videos on a variety of themes.

Only the first cutscene themselves to decide, it is suitable for your child or not. They are short and interesting, maybe even yourself to learn something new.

If your child loves comics (and already has grown from primary school age) you can try Narr8. This cross-platform application for iOS and Android has collected a lot of interactive comic book, among which are educational.

For example, "Biography of" biographies of famous people, "Alma Mater" with the knowledge of biology and anatomy, "Eureka!" With the exact sciences, and so on. D.

I liked the original submission of information: you can see pictures of moving objects, when clicked, pop up a new window with information. And attracts a fair share of humor. The only pity is that not all comics are free, for some you have to pay in the region of 35 rubles.

If you want interesting and informative to spend time with your child, try application "Labukap". There are fun experiments in biology, chemistry, physics, and anatomy.

It is an explanation why this occurs on the reverse side of the cards with the description of experience.

Now go through the applications that will help to awaken an interest in learning and deepen the knowledge acquired in school.

Applications for different school subjects

Exploring the App Store and Google Play, I have found many applications that are simple tutorials. There's a table of contents and text on a standard white or colored background.

In my opinion, they are not of interest, as well as application-cribs and Reshebnik that your children will find and download themselves when they grow up.

I'll tell you only about those applications and videos, which seemed interesting to me, and that, I think, in my school years have forced me to study with great interest.
