And when a video helps
Some lessons bring the perfect video with them
When a concept is easier to show than to say, Arbor finds a short video from trusted teaching channels like Khan Academy and SciShow Kids and tucks it into the lesson, right where it helps. You turn the screen around for a couple of minutes, then get back to teaching. Not your style? One switch in Settings turns videos off.
And yours would be better
These were written for children who don’t exist
Arbor wrote them for invented kids with invented interests, so nobody real is on this page. The ones it writes for your family know your child’s name, what they love, where they actually are in each subject, and what you told us about how they learn.
