They are doing online education games through website link given from their teacher Dukhan English School at home.

For every growing kid in today’s generation, online games are a staple in their life. Technology is now kid-friendly enough that even kindergarten aged kids play games on the computer.

The skill of managing finances can also be learned at an early age from math games where a kid might be allowed to shop or to visit play stores and handle their own virtual money.

How Our Kids Are Using the internet and What Parents Can Do about it?

In today’s complex world, children’s futures are determined by their ability to master the basics of reading, science, math and computers. Yet costs, class sizes and other issues often prevent children access to quality online learning that can support and reinforce these essential skill.

The e-Learning Foundation says pupils whose families have a computer are likely to achieve a higher grade.

A million children’s exam results will be on average a grade lower than their peers this year because they do not have internet access at home, according to a leading charity.

The e-Learning Foundation says that children without access to a computer in the evening are being increasingly disadvantaged in the classroom. Research suggests that 1.2 million teenagers log on to revision pages every week and those using online resources were on average likely to attain a grade higher in exams.
