Story Times: E-learning

Published

The world is moving fast in the field of technology and children’s futures are also determined by their ability to master the basics of reading, science, math and computers skills. However, it is not always easy for children to access quality online learning stuff that can support and reinforce these essential skills. Knowing the right website for this can be a great help.

The website e-learning for kids provides kids with fun-filled colourful animated lessons and infographics in a variety of topics that kids and their parents will like to get engaged with.

E-learning for kids is a global, non-profit foundation dedicated to fun and free learning on the internet for children ages five to 12.

The site doesn’t require any registration so users can start from the main menu which is on the top centre, with categories math, science, environmental skills, computer skills, health, language arts and life skills, all having a variety of interesting categories and clicking any will open the lessons in it sorted by popularity and grade level, from kindergarten through sixth grade.

On selecting a lesson, visitors are guided through the lesson with visual and audio prompts.

Each topic includes animated lessons, with most having a reinforcement activity to help kids apply and retain what they learned. For instance, in “Life skills” if you open “Bullying”, a user is told what bullying is all about, then an infographic or animation tells its types, provide one with tips on how to avoid it and gives out further understanding to the topic all in colourful animation or infographic. There’s a lot of positive encouragement and helpful feedback, and most lessons in the lower grades have audio support for little kids.

Whether kids want to learn keyboarding skills, phonics, figurative language, immune system, vision, acne or even about plate tectonics, they will find it all here in colourful animations, clipart, posters and infographics and would therefore gain much from these than from plain lessons.
