Introduction
Internet usage, screen time, and social media are often discouraged for young children until they reach a reasonably mature age and are educated about privacy, cyberbullying, fake news, AI-generated images, etc.
However, in some aspects, controlled and guided usage of the internet may help teachers, parents, and kids.
One of the examples is KhanMigo: an AI-powered tutor by Khan Academy.

KhanMigo: An AI-Powered Tutor:
KhanMigo is designed to provide personalized tutoring to students, helping them understand complex subjects through interactive and engaging methods. It leverages AI to adapt to each student's learning pace and style, making education more accessible and effective.
Your child can get personalized tutoring on every exercise, video, and article on Khan Academy. Unlike other AI tools such as ChatGPT, Khanmigo doesn’t just give answers. Instead, with limitless patience, it guides learners to find the answer themselves.
Khanmigo can help your children master skills with personalized tutoring on Khan Academy's world-class content. You or your child can type in any homework question and get instant help. Like any good tutor, Khanmigo doesn't just tell your kids the answers. Instead, it gently guides them to find the answers themselves.
Khanmigo can also help your child write and debate with guided prompts and immediate feedback; navigate college admissions with personalized coaching; and hone coding skills with real-time feedback.
Khanmigo can help students who are in elementary school through college. Khanmigo can help with almost any academic subject, including math, science, coding, history, and humanities.
To access Khanmigo as a parent or learner, you must make a monthly or annual payment, be 18 years or older, live in the United States, and have a billing address in the U.S.
If you are under 18 years old, your parent or guardian needs to sign up in order for you to gain access. Please ask your parent or guardian to sign up and add you to their account.
Khanmigo subscriptions cost $4 a month or $44 for an annual plan. Khan Academy is a small nonprofit funded by donations. Your payment helps us support Khan Academy’s mission while giving you access to a groundbreaking AI learning experience.
Thanks to philanthropic support, we are able to provide free access to Khanmigo for Teachers to educators in one of these countries or territories. We are working to continue to make this technology more affordable for everyone. The Khan Academy content library and learning platform will always remain 100% free.
Conclusion:
While it is crucial to be cautious about young children's internet usage, tools like KhanMigo demonstrate that, with proper guidance and control, the internet can be a valuable educational resource.
