Corona has affected our lives in many different ways. It changed the way we interact with people. While the nationwide lockdown is gradually easing, there is still a long way to go before normalcy into our regular daily lives. Finding education in these strange times can seem daunting and can be challenging for children everywhere. And with schools being shut indefinitely, it has put a pause on education for many students as well — especially those who depend on classrooms of school or coaching to learn and grow.

Here are a few things parents and students can do to help create the right learning environment at home:

1) Create your “study zone”

Staying all day at home can also mean lots of distractions and disturbances. In order to be focused, create a specific area in the house for studies and make sure this designated area is free of clutter, has good internet, and is comfortable enough for uninterrupted learning. Moreover, to give your study zone a special touch, decorate your space by writing motivational quotes for extra push!

2) Take up a challenging topics, strengthen your concepts

This is your personal time and you need to free yourself from the hesitation of asking questions or accepting difficulties and being scolded. It’s the best time to revisit lessons, strengthen fundamentals, and become master in the most difficult topics. So if you’re struggling with a certain topic, instead of shrugging it off, take the time to understand it from the study materials available online — videos and written — that explain concepts in an easy-to-grasp and engaging manner.

3) Create your routine and stick to it

Getting into a routine can help you become a consistent learner. So make a time-table and allocate a certain amount of time to learn, practice, and understand. To ensure you make the best use of this routine, stick to your time-table.

4) Make your surroundings your teacher

Did you know that thought of steam engine came from a boiling kettle? James Watt noticed how the steam forced the kettle’s lid to rise and realized that he could use steam to give power to engine and run a train. What this story tells us is that science is all around us — in your kitchen, the garden, the bed room, the study room and everywhere else. So be observant of your surroundings and always curious to know why certain things work, the way they do and search it online. If you want to go a step further, analyze what you learn and mentally map each and every facts to understand how everything is interconnected!

5) Watch learning videos

Did you know that visuals are processed 60,000 times faster by your brain than text, isn’t good? And I’m sure that anyone can vouch for the fact that learning from videos is a lot more entertaining and understanding than reading. Learning portals have videos with well-explained animated content and live classes that are designed to help students grasp concepts faster and retain them even longer than normal. In this free time, take the time to find videos that explain concepts to learn, understand, and remember them forever.

6) Learn, revise and practice

There’s no any better time than now to command over your concepts. Once you come in contact with a new topic, practice and revise. There are unlimited practice tests and quizzes available online that can help you in understanding of every concept and unit. You can also sharpen your memory by occasionally revisiting old topics time to time.

Yes, the covid19 has put all our lives on pause and gave a new turn but that doesn’t mean that learning should meet the same fate, does it?. Make the best use of your time to learn, grow, and thrive inside the house. Here’s wishing all students good luck and an enriching learn-from-home experience by staying safe.
