The Cyber Classroom



Access to fast, affordable internet has become as important to modern-day schooling as paper and a pencil. After all, where else will you find the same (virtually) unlimited access to project information, homework support, test-yourself quizzes and fun tutorials? Nowhere. It’s the truth. Just ask Google. To get the school year off to a good start, we’ve rounded up some helpful go-to resources for learners and their parents. Bring it, 2013, we’re ready and willing to learn.

Early start Little children learn through play. That’s easy enough, but before you know it, it’ll be time for ‘Big School’. Start the search as soon as possible with this handy tool.	The foundation Younger kids need a lot of assistance when it comes to school routines. Steer your child towards independence in the early grades with these downloads.	Growing up Instil a love of maths in your child from an early age by making it fun and understandable. Yes, it is possible – especially with these zany websites.




Aiming high Teenagers need you to speak their language. YouTube talks the talk quite nicely on a number of their dedicated learning channels. Warning: it’s addictive.	Further study Tertiary students often find themselves in a sink-or-swim scenario, especially in the early years. Encourage online study groups to lighten the load.	For life Learning is a lifelong process. It’s never too late to take up music or teach yourself about technology. Try some of these for fun.
