We\u2019ve seen that kids mainly use their school devices for classroom-related activities, and the educational apps on their personal devices are mostly short, gamified learning experiences. The 6 minutes per day kids spent on learning apps reflects small, short educational bites: usually in the form of a session on their favorite gamified learning app, such as Kahoot!<\/strong> (9 mins\/day) or Duolingo<\/strong> (8 mins\/day).

As educational technology (EdTech) conti\u00adnues to progress, we can expect more per\u00adso\u00adnalized, accessible, and immersive learning experiences for our children. In 2025 and beyond, experts predict we\u2019ll see more advanced AI-powered adaptive learning,<\/strong> to cater not just to a child’s academic level but to their individual learning style and pace, and AI-driven tutoring<\/strong> will also give kids the chance to get instant feedback and guidance outside of the classroom. Advances in AR and VR<\/strong> will make immersive, interactive learning more available, for example, kids could learn about dinosaurs by exploring the prehistoric world in virtual reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

With student wellbeing now taking center stage in many schools, EdTech platforms are increasingly incorporating social emotional learning (SEL) tools that help children develop emotional intelligence, interpersonal skills, and resilience. These tools often offer a curriculum of activities and resources that help children understand the importance of wellbeing, and connect with the person they are becoming in an engaging, dynamic way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of the cybersecurity burden behind too many EdTech tools, coupled with their sometimes steep learning curves, many schools are looking to take a \u201cless is more\u201d approach to the technology they use,<\/span><\/a> opting for fewer but more effective platforms. <\/span><\/p>\n

The way kids use technology to learn might be changing, but parents\u2019 and educators\u2019 roles remain the same: to help children navigate the digital world responsibly and safely.<\/span><\/p>\n

How long did children spend on educational apps on personal devices in 2024?<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen that kids mainly use their school devices for classroom-related activities, and the educational apps on their personal devices are mostly short, gamified learning experiences. The 6 minutes per day kids spent on learning apps reflects small, short educational bites: usually in the form of a session on their favorite gamified learning app, such as Kahoot!<\/strong> (9 mins\/day) or Duolingo<\/strong> (8 mins\/day). The flashcard-based tool Quizlet<\/strong>, which featured in all popularity charts except Spain, had kids globally spending 10 minutes on average creating, sharing, and studying interactive materials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Features such as points, rewards, levels, and badges make gamified learning apps like Duolingo highly engaging, motivating kids to keep their learning streaks going. While some gamified learning balances education and fun effectively, we can\u2019t be sure that all apps labeled as educational are as intellectually stimulating; as parents, we might have to decide if they are valuable,<\/strong> or just another time drain. We recommend that you try out apps first and see whether their learning objectives are clear and align with your child\u2019s educational and developmental level – making sure that gamified elements like points and rewards don\u2019t take center stage and distract from learning goals.

People are programmed to find the easiest way to complete a task, or find information \u2013 and technology helps us out with this a lot! To help kids find and process information offline, they need to be given the tools and guidance to do so. Setting up screen time routines allows them to understand when and where they can use technology. For some kids and teens, taking devices away from them, or finding an area at home where there are no distractions during study time may also prove useful. Make use of other resources, such as visiting the local library, or trying more hands-on activities and experiments,<\/strong> getting involved yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

To help make sure that the educational content your child consumes is age-appropriate and suitable for their learning level, it\u2019s important to engage with them and become familiar with what they\u2019re watching, so you can evaluate how useful or educational it really is. Research the platforms or apps that your child uses, and learn from them,<\/strong> foster critical thinking through open-ended questions like \u201cWhy do you use it?\u201d, or \u201cWhy is it useful?\u201d These questions help children justify and reflect on their choices.

Schools can play a pivotal role in helping parents improve digital wellbeing by focusing on policies, education, and technology. Clear and collaborative guidelines around technology use – particularly for school-related devices – help parents understand what digital practices to encourage or avoid. Many schools already educate students in digital citizenship and media literacy, but they can extend these efforts to parents.<\/strong> Schools can offer basic training sessions, webinars, or resources with answers to common questions, digital contracts for families, and other practical tools. Finally, schools can model effective and responsible technology use in the classroom. This includes using devices to enhance learning through engaging and dynamic approaches, rather than replicating traditional methods on a screen. It also means demonstrating proper safety measures, such as mindful content filtering and classroom management tools, to keep students focused and safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

People are programmed to find the easiest way to complete a task, or find information \u2013 and technology helps us out with this a lot! To help kids find and process information offline, they need to be given the tools and guidance to do so. Setting up screen time routines allows them to understand when and where they can use technology. For some kids and teens, taking devices away from them, or finding an area at home where there are no distractions during study time may also prove useful. Make use of other resources, such as visiting the local library, or trying more hands-on activities and experiments,<\/strong> getting involved yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

To help make sure that the educational content your child consumes is age-appropriate and suitable for their learning level, it\u2019s important to engage with them and become familiar with what they\u2019re watching, so you can evaluate how useful or educational it really is. Research the platforms or apps that your child uses, and learn from them,<\/strong> foster critical thinking through open-ended questions like \u201cWhy do you use it?\u201d, or \u201cWhy is it useful?\u201d These questions help children justify and reflect on their choices. Through conversations, age-appropriate digital limits, and tools that limit access to inappropriate content, your child can navigate more safely,<\/strong> giving you greater peace of mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Schools can model effective and responsible technology use in the classroom<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”] Schools can play a pivotal role in helping parents improve digital wellbeing by focusing on policies, education, and technology. Clear and collaborative guidelines around technology use – particularly for school-related devices – help parents understand what digital practices to encourage or avoid. Many schools already educate students in digital citizenship and media literacy, but they can extend these efforts to parents.<\/strong> Schools can offer basic training sessions, webinars, or resources with answers to common questions, digital contracts for families, and other practical tools. Finally, schools can model effective and responsible technology use in the classroom. This includes using devices to enhance learning through engaging and dynamic approaches, rather than replicating traditional methods on a screen. It also means demonstrating proper safety measures, such as mindful content filtering and classroom management tools, to keep students focused and safe.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Poppins|600|||||||” text_font_size=”24px” custom_margin=”||1px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”] Josh Gabel<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”] VP Qoria Europe<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”off|off|on” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_phone=”0px||0px||false|false” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_padding=”1px||3px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.qustodio.com\/public-site\/uploads\/2025\/01\/08150614\/Footer_background_Mobile-3.png” title_text=”Footer_background_Mobile (3)” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”175.3px” custom_margin=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
