Project-based learning: You guessed it, it's the good old, make-a-project-based-on-your-choice. A learner-centric approach leaves the student to themselves to explore the possibilities in a given topic for better understanding.

1. It's suitable for students who like challenges and don't depend on others for help.

Writing: The more you write, the better you get. However, writing can get boring fast as it puts a physical and mental challenge on the learner regarding skill and content knowledge. However, writing can be fun, if you use tools such as scrapbooks, blogs, mind maps, and WordPad

These apps progress the syllabus only when they are ready to move forward. These apps can also teach the students extra knowledge beyond the curriculum, such as a foreign language. Although parents are still against it, with proper monitoring, it can become the most effective for your child.

1. It is the most suitable for students who are comfortable using smartphones and laptops and know above average how to use the internet.
