Tips for Online Classes
- philippines
1. Do some note-taking • I recommend using the app OneNote. You can download it on an Android, iOS, iPad OS, Windows for free! You can also sync your notes on all your devices and it also has a lot of great features! • don't just take notes but review and study them • Take notes especially in class because some information isn't on your books but is discussed in your class. • I recommend being a digital notetaker due to the many activities this year, sometimes we can't take too much time just on taking notes cuz there are still some other tasks we need to do such as activities or projects especially studying the notes you have taken.
2. Stay on pace and avoid procrastination and Laziness. • Use apps Ike Focus: To-do tasks and Pomodoro timer and study bunny. It blocks certain apps such as TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, or other apps that might distract you while you're studying.
3. Don't Pressure your self. • Study Smarter, not Harder. Use different techniques for studying. • Don't stay up late at night for studying, but sleep, and wake up at midnight, and get some source of light; lampshade or desk light. • Take some rest and go outside, admire nature, and play with your neighbor/cousins/friends.
4. Study with your friends. • Your classmates might know some information that you don't know and they might also well get information from you about the topic that you're discussing and you won't feel lonely.
5. Create your own workspace/desk. • Select a place in your room that has enough source of light and is enough for you. I recommend a place near the window so that you can always look outside to get some motivation.
6. Avoid a messy environment. • Always keep your workspace clean and organized because it helps to avoid procrastination.
7. Take some rest from radiation or gadgets. • Too much contact with radiation or to much use of gadgets might lead to headaches.
8. Create a daily logbook or journal so that you can see your improvement and so that you can monitor if you are being able to adjust or adapt.
9. Create a schedule or timetable to have some great time management. • Set days for when you want to spend time with your family, friends, and let and also set some time for when you want to study.
10. Always organize your notes, finish tasks before the due date, and prepare all the apps that you'll use for your online classes. • Always keep prepared and know how to use apps that will be used in the online classes to avoid errors or technical malfunctions while on class or discussion. • Always keep updated and check if your teacher assigned some activity so that you would know and you will be able to pass on time. • Always download the files that your teacher sent you because they might be important for your lesson and keep them in the right place. Always organize them. The other reason why I love digital note-taking is that I can keep all my files, notes, and every single thing that I need for online school on one device.
11. I really find listening to some Lofi Music a good technique for studying because it's like a stress reliever and helps me on studying alone.
12. Create a reference page and write all of the important things you need for your online classes such as your username, passwords and etc. You can also write your schedule for each day and write the info of your teacher so that it'll be easy to get along with them.
