What we found for educational apps<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With a full return to normality in the classroom for most schools worldwide, time on educational and learning apps decreased overall<\/strong> for the second year in a row, as anxious parents no longer needed to fill spare lockdown hours with educational content. Globally, kids spent 12% less time cramming new languages and quizzing across 2022<\/strong>, bringing their average use of learning apps on personal devices to just 7 minutes daily.<\/p>\n

For the first time in our research, we have included popularity rankings from school devices<\/strong>. These devices could be either provided by the school, which is usually the case in the United States and Australia, or devices used during school hours, such as in the UK and Spain, where children frequently use their own devices with school software installed or separate login details.<\/p>\n

The data collected from these devices is presented separately from personal devices used during out-of-school time, where our research focused primarily on learning apps with an educational purpose, such as gamified language-learning app Duolingo.<\/p>\n

Gathered largely from school-provided devi\u00adces, Family Zone group insights reveal the top 10 most popular learning-related apps and websites kids used across 2022.<\/p>\n

As seen in our family surveys, penetration of computer-based learning in schools is higher in the US and Australia. In the US, 79% of kids currently use a device in school<\/strong>, with the majority using a device provided by the school. Australia is not far behind, with 76% of children using either school-provided devices or a BYOD<\/strong> (bring your own device) system. Only 13% of US kids and 16% of Australian children did not use any devices in the classroom.<\/p>\n

Because of higher device penetration in these countries, we found that specific classroom management apps and websites in both the US and Australia ranked highly in their top 10s. In the US, learning platform <\/span>Google Classroom<\/b> was the top choice, followed by single-sign on digital classroom provider <\/span>Clever<\/b>. Rounding out the US top 3 was virtual and blended learning management system (LMS) <\/span>GradPoint<\/b>, the number 1 pick for classroom use in Australia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

LMS Canvas also appeared in the top 10 in both countries. Australia\u2019s final top 3 choice was writing assistant <\/span>Grammarly<\/b>, helping kids keep their spelling, grammar, and punctuation in check throughout the day.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other popular learning-based tools sought to gamify the education process and boost interactivity in the classroom, such as educational game website <\/span>ABCya!<\/b> and game-based quiz platform <\/span>Kahoot!<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

School devices featured in this report in the UK and Spain offer a different picture of the top 10 most popular classroom-based apps and websites children use. <\/span>The education systems in the UK and Spain are much less technology-centered,<\/b> as reflected in our parent survey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

66% of children in the UK<\/b> either bring a device from home to school, or make use of a school-provided device. <\/span>Spain follows closely behind, with 63% penetration<\/b>, although device usage in the classroom is <\/span>increasing on a yearly basis<\/span><\/a>. Despite the increment, classroom management apps and systems were much lower down on the popularity scale, with schools opting for specific learning tools and applications, and applying them in a classroom-based setting.<\/span><\/p>\n

British children and teachers\u2019 top pick was<\/span> the BBC<\/b>, which aside from news, offers learning resources such as spelling and vocabulary practice. Both Spain and the UK placed <\/span>Wikipedia<\/b> in second, making it one of the go-to resources for children looking to find out more about their learning topic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google Docs<\/b> featured as the Spanish number 1, but ranked only fourth, just behind <\/span>Microsoft Word<\/b>, in the UK. Interactive service <\/span>Live Worksheets<\/b> took third place in Spain, bringing traditional, printed worksheets into an online setting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other popular tools designed to make work easier in UK and Spanish classrooms were content generator <\/span>Genial.ly<\/b>, and Microsoft products <\/span>Powerpoint,<\/b> Excel and Word<\/b>. Gamified learning was also a popular resource in both countries, with <\/span>Kahoot! <\/b>featuring on both top 10 lists, and student engagement platform <\/span>Quizizz<\/b> ranking ninth in Spain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kids across the world looked to Duolingo<\/b> to get their daily dose of language practice, crowning it king of the learning apps for the third year in a row. The same trend appeared in all countries examined, while <\/span>game-based learning service Kahoot! and math-problem helper Photomath vied for second place<\/b>. In the US and Spain, <\/span>Photomath<\/b> claimed the second spot, while the UK and Australia\u2019s choice was <\/span>Kahoot!<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

WordReference Dictionary<\/b> proved to be a popular learning tool for kids worldwide, providing the meaning of words at the tap of a button. <\/span>Quizlet featured in every country\u2019s top 5 save Spain<\/b>, where fifth position went to online math and reading tool <\/span>Smartick<\/b>, which failed to secure a place in any other ranking across 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
