It’s also nice to get that content without having to spend a dime, so I sought out a bunch of free educational apps for kids. It’s nice to provide them with plenty of options to explore on their tablets while still knowing their minds are engaged.
Sometimes, however, the kids just want something a little different.
So many kids with Kindle devices would see life-long benefit.Our family loves all that ABC Mouse and Noggin have to offer when it comes to educational screen time. Notably there were no complaints about needing to install Google Play Services or anything Play-Store specific (kudos for not falling into a Google lock-in trap), so I do hope the Academy changes its mind and uploads the app to Amazon. I can't even get a Raspberry Pi with KVM for $30 but I have several kids here who have their own tablets we live in a magic time and should take full advantage of that. It's not just about supporting one brand, it's enabling a new market. I would think that with the mass availability of $30 tablets (Prime Day / refurb) via Amazon that Fire support would be a good target to advance the educational mission of Khan. Launching 'Settings' from "GoToApp" lets you turn off the "unknown sources" toggle and then go back to Freetime and remove ES from the child profile. I answered some math questions and watched a video. With all that done, the Khan Academy app seems to work. Maybe I'll hack up a dedicated KA launcher app if this persists as a problem. I suppose you do have the time-of-day restrictions left. There's a huge "+" button there just begging a kid to add more apps and I didn't see any way to set a PIN code or anything, so, meh, this is a giant hole in Freetime restrictions. Then I paid $2 for a fairly terrible launcher app called "GoToApp Full", added it to the child account, and then under the child account deleted everything from its launcher screen except Khan Academy. Now it's installed but the child can't launch it. I turned off "unknown sources" protection for this. After switching to the child account, I navigated to the SD card and installed the APK. I added the ES File Explorer app from my account to the child account. Also, because Freetime uses entirely separate profiles, the app needs to installed in the child account (and probably every separate child account, on every device, for an n^2 problem). The way Freetime works it's not able to be added to the app menu unless it came from the Amazon app store. I have the Khan Academy app running on a Fire 8 2019, sorta under Freetime.įirst, I downloaded the 6.1.1 apk from and put it on a MicroSD card (16GB - a 256GB didn't work).
