Adjusting to a Remote Learning method requires modifications to a student’s studying style, so Christopher Columbus High School’s C-Tech Team compiled some tips to help make this transition easier. Keep in mind while the type of instruction is blended, the level of commitment to academics and average hours spent each week on tasks, including remote ‘in-class time’ and day-to-day ‘out-of-class time’, will remain constant.
Explorers should establish a specific time and space for studying and then communicate that time with friends and family so they won't be disrupted. Focusing on work for an hour is more effective than studying for several hours with interruptions. Studying in a familiar place can also improve progress by providing more comfort and less distractions.
The flexibility of Remote Learning can be a welcomed opportunity as well as a challenge. The flexibility allows students to participate somewhat on ‘your own time’, although virtually meeting for classes keeps things fluid and consistent. Explorers should keep in mind that the flexibility may lead to procrastination, and no one wants to complete every assignment for every class the day before they are due.
