Avram, a great duolingo example, lets see what we can learn from it:
first, when the account has no admin privileges, you may not be able to install the app. So, you would have to ask the parent whether it is a good idea.
2nd – the kid should know basics of cybersecurity and not give his contact list, etc. As this is really low risk – a great place to check your skills.
3) I am guessing video ads are for the free version, pay $10/month and let your kid learn the languages without distractions. Take it out of his college fund. He’ll thank you later.
4) if you see the screen in the living room, you will notice if ads are becoming too much or inappropriate. Generally, ads follow what they learned about you and what can be sold. Do not go to bad sites and buy,or just search for, several computer items and books from that account to ensure boring ads for years to come.
5) looking up stuff – great time to teach about sources – which ones are reliable, which ones can be biased and why, which ones are true Torah sources and how to determine what the derech is
6) latest challenge – kids go by GPT answers without even going to the source. Still working on this – showing them how to be sceptical with the answer, how to double-check them.
