Is online learning effective for elementary school students?

For many elementary school students, the advantages of online learning can benefit their educational journey. The freedom of online learning can allow students to take breaks, exercise, or reset, which can help them return to their lessons refreshed and ready to go.
Online schooling can also make learning more effective for students who find social interaction anxiety-inducing or are more productive without the many distractions of a busy school building.1
