Nah, they get enough of that on the school Chromebooks.

Goal is to teach them how to avoid the dark side, not to let them swim in it.

A website full of flash games (well, html5 now), many have some sort of educational value. At least better than mobile games.

Nothing groundbreaking, but if a kid’s gonna play a game, may as well sneak some math problems in there.

Charge it, put some educational games and setup screen time it (assuming its not so old its useless), otherwise slap their music on it and they got an ipod and camera to play with until it snaps.

I’d start with sorting videos into folders on desktop to get organized, don’t let her be the unorganized girl’s desktop meme!

Some of the kids game sites like coolmath are still around. Lots of quick games that designed to be fun, beaten, but not drain your soul.

Also turn off the adblocker at some point. Kids gotta learn what’s an ad and what’s not.

(Ignoring all the stolen work to train the models for a minute)

It’s got its uses and potential, things like translations, writing prompts, or a research tool.

But all the products that force it in places that clearly do not need it and solving problems could be solved by two or three steps of logic.

The failed attempts at replacing jobs, screen resumes or monitoring employees is terrible.

Lastly the AI relationships are not good.
