Don’t Call It a Comeback (Remote Learning Is Right Around the Corner)

With another variant of Covid making its presence known, remote learning is rearing up once again for many school districts. 

How long will it last this time? Who knows.

Omicron sounds an awful lot like a name for a Transformer; it seems to be making quite the impact around the world at the moment. 

After winter break comes to an end, it appears numerous school districts are going straight into remote learning. As happened last time, administrators will probably wing it and make decisions when students are allowed back into the classroom depending on the media’s numbers and politicians’ advice. 

Should Go Much Smoother This Time Around

The good news is that both students and teachers should have the experience now to operate remote learning much better this time around. The online platforms should still be in place and operative. Plus, parents should realize what is expected of them as well.

7 Tips For Improving the Remote Learning Process

Remote learning can be improved upon whether you are a teacher, student, or parent. 

Follow these tips on how to improve the remote learning process. After all, if you can help it, work smart, not hard.

• Create a separate workspace; instead of roaming around the house to get school work completed in every room, set up a desk or table to complete all your work. You will be able to stay much more organized this way!
• Communication is key! A little communicating can go a long way for students and teachers. If you have a question about something, don’t wait to ask it.
• Don’t procrastinate. Doing remote learning does not mean you have the day off. When there is work to do, get it done immediately, so you don’t have to worry about it while sleeping tonight.
• Investigate apps that correspond with the lesson plans. Whether you are a teacher, student, or parent, find some edtech that will make learning easier or provide another option for those struggling.
• Teachers collaborate with other educators during this process. They might need your help, or you may need guidance from them. In any case, having access to another person’s thoughts and ideas should only be beneficial to all.
• Reflect on what is and is not working with remote learning. The routine or technology might need to be switched up here and there. Don’t stick with something too long if it just is not working.

Consider Hiring a Tutor

Some students struggle with remote learning, while others have no difficulty adjusting to it. It may be just one subject or even one topic that the student has problems with. Whatever the case, don’t wait until they are too far behind and feel the pressure overwhelm them. If you know of a student who could use more one-on-one assistance, iAchieve has professional tutors who can meet in person or entirely online. Hiring a qualified tutor can make all the difference in the world.
