If a child is bored or restless, then it is common for a parent to pull out a smart phone or tablet in order to let the child occupy themselves by playing games. Sometimes parents feel guilty about their child spending too much time in front of the screen, but the play time can actually be beneficial to help the child stimulate their learning.

Edutainment for Children

Apps that entertain and educate at the same time fall into the category of “Edutainment,” which is a word that has been coined in recent years. Children love to play games and be entertained though digital platforms, and it is possible for them to be educated at the same time. As a parent, you can be empowered to choose high quality apps that provide learning opportunities for your child, and then you don’t have to feel guilty about the play time that they spend looking at your phone or tablet.

One of the benefits to these types of games is the fact that the children love to play them, and they don’t realize that they

are learning at the same time. Their minds are stimulated, which increases the likelihood that they will look for additional information and have the desire to continue learning. Educational apps can help to spark the desire to learn, so that the children can view learning in a positive way.

Education for Adults

Even though many people view educational apps as a tool to be used for children, there are also many apps that provide educational tools for adults as well. Many adults are beginning to utilize flashcard apps that help them study, or they can download learning aids to supplement coursework that they are completing in their undergraduate or graduate classrooms.

A company called Higher Learning Technologies understands how effective these tools can be, and they are dedicated to developing products that make it easier to stimulate higher learning. They launched their first product a little more than a year ago, which was a tool to help dental school students study for their board exams. After launching their first app, they raised money through investors to continue developing more apps. Their goal is to develop an additional 24 apps in the near future.
