Education is often stated as being a primary reason for buying a child a tablet, even though there may be secondary ones such as playing games, and the Fire HD 10 Kids Edition does have educational uses.
There are different ways in which the HD 10 can be used for educational purposes. The first is through Amazon FreeTime Unlimited. This subscription package comes with educational content from sources such as Disney, PBS Kids and Nickleodeon. Using FreeTime Unlimited, parents can also block access to entertainment until educational goals are completed, using the parent’s dashboard.
Next, educational apps and content can be downloaded via the Amazon Appstore and installed on the device. Parents can do this, and enable them for their child’s use, through the parental controls. Many educational apps can be found for free.
In addition, there are many educational sites on the internet that contain useful material. Again, using the parental controls, parents can allow their children access to these sites.
