Are you looking for Online classes for kids? Read this blog post to know some of the best Tips to choose the best ones.
I won’t be surprised if you are a harried parent, with bored kids and a house where the time has slowed down to a standstill.
This pandemic has forced the entire education system to find alternatives to physical classroom learning and extra curricular classes.
We weren’t prepared for this change and neither were our kids.
Schools are definitely doing their bit, but I’m sure you would agree that it is the need of the hour to keep kids engaged sensibly so the kids use their screen time wisely.
The market is flooded with numerous options for e-learning, which makes it difficult to choose the best one for your kids.
Most parents struggle to pick the right kind of online classes for their kids because of one big question:
What should be kept in mind when choosing online classes for kids?
Is e- learning as effective?
As per the evidences, for the kids who have access to the right kind of technology, online learning can be quite effective and beneficial as it increases their retaining capacity. This happens mainly because children are able to learn faster online.
E-learning requires 40-60% less time to learn than the conventional physical classroom set up as per the researches.
To give parents a sense of what points should be considered while making an informed choice, I have mentioned a few important pointers in this post.
Most of us aim at introducing technology to our kids, and teaching them to use it wisely. There is also a constant effort to avoid making kids overdo the screen time, hence choosing online classes wisely is the only option we have.
Tips for choosing great online classes for kids:
1. Structured environment:
Since kids easily get distracted, you should definitely look for
a structured environment when looking for an online class. It’s important to go beyond replicating a physical classroom setup, to get full benefit of online learning. There should be a range of tools and engagement methods used to promote personalisation, intelligence and inclusion.
Making learning effective and fun is crucial.
2. Context and Content:
Try to have a quality check of the content your kids would be exposed to, while attending the online classes. You must look for well researched and specially curated content.
Also, please ensure that you introduce your kids with age appropriate content only. There should be a proper quality check done so you are sure that your child would have a great take away from the online classes. Also please ensure that the vision and objective of the online classes matches that of your kids.
3. Proper attention:
It’s important to enroll your kids into online classes that assures complete attention to them, so they are motivated to make the most of it.
4. Two way communication:
Pondering questions give birth to an ability to think creatively, hence it becomes important to pick the classes that encourage a two way communication. Keeping kids on mute all the time, would kill their enthusiasm.
Democratic participation, where kids are encouraged to raise questions and participate equally always lighten up the learning mode.
5. Right learning method:
The mentor or trainer should be well qualified and must use the right learning methods.
6. Affordable:
The online classes shouldn’t put a hole in your pocket. It’s best to pick the ones that suit your budget.
One platform that ensures that all the above pointers are taken care of is AOL – Always On Learning. They have interesting options for online classes which range from English, Math, Science, Art & theatre, Dance, language, Public speaking and more.

Thank you so much. Happy to hear that.
Content context is an important point. Often we fail to monitor the content they are getting access to. This is a reminder indeed
Thank you so much. I am glad our thoughts resemble.
Online classes are the new normal. We have to get accustomed to them..they have so many advantages that could be anytime beneficial to our kids.
I so agree. Internet if used wisely can do wonders for your kids.
Recently I’ve researched a lot of e learning opportunities for my son and I’m glad that education sector is evolving so massively.
I agree. There is a pool of options out there, however I highly recommend you to try Alwaysonlearning. They have some great options.

Thanks for sharing the tips for choosing the right online classes for kids. My son is six and yes even I do check the content quality of classes he is attending for that matter the online story sessions. I will check AOL.
That is wonderful Judy. Always on learning has some great options to explore.
I agree that online education is awesome but as they grow older it gets tough on the eyes. I still prefer physical school where they can run and jump with other kids. I think there are disadvantages and advantages for both types.
There are definitely pros and cons. However currently I am sure we wont want to take the risk of sending kids out for social classes. It’s the need of the hpour. And anyways this is a great opportunity for us parents to teach kids how to use Gadgets wisely.
These are some good points that you have mentioned. Context and the style of teaching is something that we need to focus on as I have observed not all teachers can teach well in an online environment. They might be experts but keeping kids glued in a virtual environment is not every ones cup of tea.
That’s true Neha. Keeping kids enaged in an online set up must be actually quite difficult. Kudos to the teachers who can do it well.
definitely the 2 way communication mode is quite useful. both the teachers and the parents are much more involved i see now with online classes for kids. and the kids are also enjoying the experience.
Thats true Isheera
With the burgeoning of online classes, choosing the right one can be a challenge. Your post gives some really helpgul guidelines about the parameters on which to focus, before deciding.
Thank you so much Sandy.
Online learning isn’t optional now and it will help to put in thought and effort in choosing the best platform. Context, content and affordability are important factors to look out for.
Thats so true Varsha
Seeing the current scenario, this is the way forward for our kids and their learning curve. It is all the more essential to identify and make the right choice from the plethora of options available today.
I couldn’t agree more Dipika
I so agree Dipika
Online classes has been the only medium since last 2 years but before we enroll them, they should be ready for it because a lot of children had hard time in adapting to this new culture.
I so agree Paresh. Kids always give us cues and we must recognize them well in time.
