Working and learning at home is quickly becoming the new normal. Computer technology opened up entire new avenues including distance learning. Virtual school is a popular and convenient choice for students around the world. No longer are physical restraints, such as, lack of transportation or disabilities a deterrent to easily obtaining a higher education. There are some principles and habits to follow closely to assure success in virtual school. Five ways to keep on track and stay involved with the online classes are as follows:
1. Stay focused
It helps to minimize or eliminate household distractions and interruptions. Set clear expectations for other family members and friends in regards to interrupting you at any time via entering your study space or via phone.
2. Encourage
Set goals for schoolwork by setting a timer and adhering to the allotting time for that session. Sometimes beginning a project is all that is needed to propel the learner into a longer study period. When the timer sounds after 15 minutes, many students find themselves setting it for another 15 minutes and so on.
4. Inspire
Print out the class syllabus and hang it on the wall by the computer. Cross off items as they are completed to feed the sense of accomplishment. Inspirational quotes strategically placed in the study space that revolves around growing and learning will help to inspire.
5. Flex muscles
Sitting at the computer for hours at a time can fatigue even the most studious scholar. Break it up by taking a walk outside, blasting the stereo while on the treadmill or folding the laundry. Little breaks will give the eyes and the brain a reprieve from the constant hard work of virtual school.
People are enjoying the freedom that virtual school allows. Maximizing their time by less or no commuting back and forth to the classroom is allowing them more time to focus on assignments. With some foresight, planning and adherence to the suggestions above that work best for each individual, academic success is achievable in virtual school.
