Your Kids Will Enjoy Learning with these Apps!

One of the best things I learned from being an educator is to be humble in the presence of technology. According to one of my mentors, we cannot deny that children can better understand a topic through a five-minute video or an interactive game than they would from a teacher’s one-hour lecture.

Because of their accessibility, learning apps are efficient in monitoring a child’s progress in learning a skill. Kids can also learn literally anytime and anywhere!

If you’re looking for an app that kids will love and enjoy while they learn the knowledge and skills needed in school and beyond, here is a list of some of the best!

How Motherhood Looks Like to a Pursuer of Dreams

It’s a myth that once a woman becomes a mother, she cannot pursue her dreams any longer. Take it from Vea Kristine R. Vallo-Magsaysay, mom of two, owner of four business franchises, and dean’s lister in Executive Master of Business Administration at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM), who juggles roles in the name of pursuing her dreams.

Yes, there are pros and cons when watching programs on TV, but it is also important that to know how to filter programs that are suited for our child’s needs and development.

As an educator, I always make sure that my little one uses gadgets for a limited time, only watches teacher-approved shows that would benefit her! I also make sure that my husband and I supplement the programs she watches with actual conversations, as this also helps her absorb the things she sees!

I personally recommend watching programs like Ms. Rachel’s Songs For Littles! (I’m sure millennial moms would know this!) as it has contributed a lot to my little girl’s development. Let me share with you the benefits my child reaped as she grew up with her Teacher Rachel!
