Communicating online, exchanging ideas and being connected are typical features of the Internet. This interactive site is also discovered early by elementary school children. They like to watch videos – especially via YouTube. Music videos, funny videos and animal videos are especially popular. Only a few children of this age also want to post their own videos. However, sharing with friends about the content you’ve seen is very important.

Besides watching videos, the most important online activity is researching. Elementary school children like to search for information online a lot. Mostly people are looking for information for school or music info. Special Internet sites for children are also used for this purpose.
Games on the net are also a big topic. Many children spend time playing online games, preferably together with friends.
