As you would've known by now, the internet is a treasure trove of knowledge. It's a wonderful tool to learn anything and everything about the world. And just because schools are closed during this circuit breaker, doesn't mean your little Einsteins can't do some schooling. Harness in the power of technology and learn new skills and information through interactive lessons, brain games, and other fun activities at home. There are dozens of online resources that challenge and entertain your kids – and even you – while they learn.
