This text was written by a reader in the T—Zh Community. Carefully edited and formatted according to editorial standards.
I have two schoolchildren: my daughter is in the fourth grade, and my son is in the first.
Daria Poleshchikova
tested educational platforms for children
I never seriously thought about home education, but during the coronavirus pandemic, I, like many other parents, had to independently organize the process of teaching children. So, starting from March 2020, we have tested several online educational platforms.
It was important for me that primary school children learn effectively, with pleasure, and that they complete at least part of the tasks without the help of an adult. I was looking for free or not too expensive resources and now I want to share my experience with readers T-F.
To review the material covered
Uchi.ru Cost: 4590 R per year for the all-inclusive package. It is possible to study for free or pay for separate access to certain subjects and courses
Read more: online
The platform is very bright and friendly, kids will love it. There are tasks in the main school subjects: mathematics, the outside world, Russian and English languages, as well as separate courses in programming, planning and achieving goals, preparing for all-Russian test papers. Assignments in the main subjects do not always coincide with the school curriculum and sometimes seem too simple. But the Olympiads, which are held on the basis of the platform several times a year, are very popular with children.
We use the platform to revise and have fun. We chose a free account that allows you to complete 20 tasks daily and take part in all Olympiads.
Pros: intuitive interface, even a first grader can study without the help of an adult. Children like the game format and motivate them to complete tasks.
Cons: only part of the platform is available in the free profile, and the premium account is paid immediately for a year. If there are several children, the amount will be impressive.
For additional classes in the subject
Russian electronic school Cost: free
More details: on the website
NES is a good knowledge base for schoolchildren. The platform has video lessons, notes, training tasks and test papers in many subjects of the school curriculum. All information is organized by classes, topics and subjects - from the Russian language and geometry to ecology and economics. In addition, you can create your own educational trajectory for your child to follow.
In our case, the platform helps with learning French, which my daughter wanted to study additionally.
Pros: free access and the ability to create an individual training program.
Cons: platform is not adapted for mobile devices, it is convenient to study on it only on a computer. If the whole family is telecommuting, this can be a problem. In addition, it is still difficult for a child to learn on the platform on his own, so the help of an adult will be required.
For spot work on difficult subjects
IClass Cost: for free or for 699 R per month with a premium subscription
More details: on the website
The teachers of our school actively used Yaklass to conduct tests in the spring of 2020. The platform looks rather boring, but here you can find training tasks for school subjects. It is not necessary to complete the courses completely: you can choose only the desired topic to fill a specific knowledge gap. In addition, the tasks have a step-by-step explanation of all solutions, which will be useful for high school students and children who study without the help of their parents.
The platform helps us work out complex topics pointwise. We use a free subscription.
Pros: a free account is enough for full-fledged classes. Olympiads are held periodically.
Cons: children are bored with this platform.
For educational leisure
Children and science Price: free
More details: on the website
A very interesting project in mathematics and natural science. Online courses are intended mainly for middle and high school students, and for younger students there are several classes in mathematics and a well-structured course of the world around. It consists of a series of short videos, abstracts and interactive tasks on each topic.
The children and I take this course with great pleasure. We watch videos instead of cartoons.
Pros: project is completely free. The courses are prepared by talented teachers, including, for example, anthropologist Stanislav Drobyshevsky and mathematician Alexei Savvateev. Video lessons and assignments are of high quality.
Cons: few items.
For creative activities
SkillBerry Cost: 470 R per month for full access to all lessons
Find out more: on
This is a creative platform for kids with over 1000 lessons on clay modeling, origami, drawing and more. Children are taught to make handicrafts from improvised materials and postcards for the holidays: on the video, the teacher shows what needs to be done, and the child repeats after him. The lessons are quite simple, but this is not an art school, but an alternative to art and technology.
We use this resource when we need to keep the kids busy while the adults are at work. Of course, you can find similar free videos on YouTube. But a paid course on a special platform is not only a time saver, but also a guarantee that children are doing business, and not mindlessly watching videos.
Pros: variety of plots and creative techniques: any child will find something to their liking. Teachers explain very clearly, so that children can study on their own.
Cons: plots and techniques are too simple. Good for elementary grades or for fun, but for more serious creative pursuits, you need to look for another platform.

Keep reading for the best free learning apps for kids. They are exciting, interesting and completely free to download.
Why are free learning apps for kids important?
How important are free learning apps for kids? Why should you trust the app?
Here's why:
- Physical classes are less attractive than free learning apps for kids. Getting up, getting dressed and driving to school can be tiring for kids. Now it's hard for kids to use learning apps from the comfort of their own bed. Geography or politics do not limit learning. They can learn any language or any material not available in traditional classrooms.
- Students, unlike teachers, have access to applications 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Students can use them to study late in the evening or early in the morning, depending on their schedule.
- Free learning apps for kids are good for the environment by reducing the amount of paper used to print books and the amount of learning material used to write.
- They regularly update new research and bugs in free learning apps for kids. While people can misreport or teach wrong knowledge from time to time, programs always have the most up-to-date and correct information.
- Unlike instructors who may communicate differently with different students, the app allows you to learn systematically.
- Free learning apps for kids are not only books, but also very fun and interactive, making them more effective and providing a better learning experience.

Limitations of using free learning apps for kids in education
Here are some of the most significant disadvantages of using educational apps for kids:
distraction
Technology is helpful, but it can also be distracting. Today's students are resourceful enough to find loopholes in school systems that allow them to surf the web or play video games instead of studying.
Students find themselves online when they should be learning because the Internet is becoming a big temptation and school IT infrastructure is substandard in many places.

Emotional Development
Young children's emotional development is just as important as their academic performance. A non-human device will not be able to establish self-control or order in the classroom, and students will learn the topic, but not how to get along with each other.
Overstimulation due to excessive screen time
Excessive screen use can cause overstimulation, which can change sleep patterns and lead to emotional dysregulation.
To manage stress and mood swings in children, screen use should be limited. Increased stress and mood swings in young children are often considered symptoms of screen overuse.
The use of educational technology in the classroom will increase the amount of screen time young people spend every day.
Also Read: Best Apps to Learn French in 2022 | Best learning apps
Most educational apps for kids are designed for solo use, not for group activities. Students as a result become self-absorbed and do not interact with other students in the classroom or at school.
This causes delays in the development of social abilities such as speaking and interacting with others, and introverts in young children.
Reduced emphasis on traditional teaching and learning skills
Students have lost the information search and analysis skills that help us find the right material and interpret what we need from it, as a result of their almost total reliance on Google search for solutions.
What was once inferred from a teacher's impromptu speech is now an area of up-to-date information offered through apps and programs.
In addition, automatically corrected typos, punctuation, and other errors result in less reliance on comprehension and problem-solving skills.

How much do educational apps for kids cost?
While some educational apps for kids are free to download, their functionality is usually limited. To use all the features of the application, you may have to pay.
The cost of a one-time download of an educational app for kids often ranges from $1 to $4.
Other applications require a monthly or annual subscription fee, which can range from $5 to $20 per month.
An extensive curriculum, diagnostic tools, progress reports, and customized recommendations are common aspects of these applications.
