The peace of virtual education by being a “learning corner” / parent to be “up to date”
Life group: School and Corona: This year, for the second year in a row and until further notice, students will study virtually. Last year’s experience helps parents and students to avoid repeating the problems of the previous year for families and students in the second year, which has been cut short due to coronary schooling.
This report collects skills for managing student attendance at home and attending virtual classes. By applying these skills, students and parents will have a more productive and less stressful school year.
Build a study corner
It is important that the student has a fixed place to participate in their virtual classroom. To do this, we need to consider the part of the house that has special features for the student’s academic corner. Sticking to a fixed place or corner helps to increase the student’s concentration and less tension while listening and presenting the lesson.
There should be a white wall behind the student or a simple place that no one can pass in front of. In this case, the student’s senses do not have to be behind him, and his video calls and videos will be sent to the teacher with better quality and without the presence of unnecessary margins. On the other hand, other classmates will not be distracted by other students.
Get the right internet
This part of the house should have adequate lighting. Of course, this light should not shine directly through the student’s virtual communication and prevent him from seeing well. Rather, the light should provide the student with an indirect view. Having a good internet connection in this part of the house or the student’s study corner is also an important condition. In this school year, adjust the home modem and internet status so that the student’s study corner has the appropriate quality and speed of internet.
A distraction-free study corner
It is important that the student’s virtual school is away from noises such as television, the sound of work and activity in the kitchen, or the sound of other children at home. If you have other older children at home, explain to them that their sibling is in the classroom and that they should leave him or her alone. If the other children are small households, it is the responsibility of the parents or caregivers to keep them away from the student.
Provide the necessary equipment
The student’s classroom must have the necessary equipment for virtual communication. In addition to convenient internet, build a study corner near home electrical outlets or by placing electrical outlets. Batteries for devices such as mice, mobile chargers, handsfree and headphones, and other necessary devices such as flash, hard drive, etc. are available to the student in this classroom so that he does not have to search for them in the middle of the lesson and get up from the classroom. .
The virtual class also has a rule
The student always knew that even with the slightest delay in the morning, he would either miss school service or have to explain his delay to school officials. But this responsibility and readiness to attend class was greatly diminished in e-learning.
Revive the need for this responsibility and timely attendance by taking the virtual classroom rules seriously at home for the student. Wake up the student at a sufficient time before the start of the lesson to have breakfast. Take breakfast and pre-class nutrition as seriously as when you are physically present at school.
Unfortunately, some parents attended their child’s virtual classroom last year for what they said was comfort, or did homework instead of sending it to the teacher to send their child more time to sleep. A teacher may not realize this by the parents and those around the student, but we need to know that the purpose of going to school, whether in person or online, is not just to study. Attending class and respecting the rules and the teacher is an exercise in socialization and responsibility that parents take the opportunity to learn from their child.
Be up to date
Last year, a lot of videos and audio from virtual classes were played that had inappropriate content to present in class. Most of these videos, which were unfortunately circulated in the form of humor in cyberspace, were due to parents’ ignorance of how to use messengers and communication software.
As parents living in an age where, in addition to e-learning, many other aspects of life are tied to the mass media of electronics and the Internet, we need to know how to use these tools and software properly. In this case, we will be better educational colleagues at home for teachers, and our child will benefit more from our mastery of these matters.
