A fabulous and amazing mama recently told a group of us about two apps called "Stack the States" and "Stack the Countries." I put them on my phone and soon the kids were fighting over who got to play. I was skeptical at first, but soon the kids were yelling the names of the states and the capitals and pointing them out on the map.
And guess what I had done?
Nothing.
Well, I mean while they were playing I was doing 1,298,398,529 other things, but I wasn't actually teaching them about states.
Now I'm not advocating that letting your kids play on your phone is the best way to teach them. I am saying that there are fun ways to teach kids things that they enjoy with technology and this can help take some of the pressure off of the homeschooling parent.
I found this the other day, and I'm putting it here for reference:

I think I'll check some of these out and see what else they can teach themselves. (joke. sort of.)

Thanks for recommending my post! I have to admit, I've become a bit of a Stack the Countries addict myself. It's just so lethargic and rewarding!!
