HELP YOUR KIDS KEEP UP IN SCHOOL THIS YEAR

We all want our children to succeed, but sometimes it’s important to take a step back and encourage kids to set their own course. Recently, active learning has become quite popular, even finding its way into mainstream education as classrooms become increasingly digital. Children can now go beyond traditional classroom resources, learning more about anything they want with a simple click of the mouse. With this in mind, here are a few easy ways to help your child be an independent, curious learner in the digital age (NC):

Create chances to explore at home

Pose questions to your kids about what excites them and encourage them to learn more about that topic on kid-friendly, trusted websites. That way, they will already feel comfortable with new digital learning platforms at school, such as Nelson Education’s Edwin, which allows kids to browse an extensive catalogue of content to find out more about what interests them.

Highlight the fun in learning

Being a successful learner starts with having a positive attitude. Show kids that learning can be fun and exciting by thinking of ways to turn research into a game. Reward them with inexpensive prizes or more play time. Chances are, the more fun children have learning, the more they’ll want to seek out new information and grow.

Allow your child to teach you

Challenging your kids to take the information they learn and apply it to everyday life is a great way to enhance understanding, while also helping identify areas for improvement. Encourage your kids to tell you what they’ve learned. This will foster even more learning and help familiarize your child with collaborative studentteacher relationships.

You can help your kids excel by embracing this new way of learning. Find more information on modern classroom technology at edwin.nelson.com.
