3 Tips to Online Learning

This week all of has worked from home. Unfortunately, its still possible that at some points of 2022, you will need to complete school from home.

Without teachers, and having to walk to your different classes, it’s harder to remain organised and complete all your work. Here are 5 tips on how to be efficient and successful at online school:

1. Keep your workspace clean.

2. Use your time well

In the same way that your workspace needs to be tidy and organised, make sure you keep a steady track of time. This includes breaks, joining your next lessons and doing homework at the appropriate times. Managing your time well during the lessons, means that you won’t need to finish work during breaks. If you know that you get carried away or distracted during breaks, set a timer on your phone/ computer so that it rings 2-5 minutes before your next lesson. This gives you the time to prepare yourself and get back into a working mindset.

3. Technical Things

You should charge your computer overnight or before the classes. Teams meetings and all the other tabs you will probably have open drain a lot of battery so if your computer is fully charged, you will be safe. It is important to also stay alert on teams and outlook. You need to be able to communicate with your peers and teachers so keep these tabs open.

I hope this article has helped you in some way and that hopefully, you wont need to do online school after this week!
