Due to the ongoing coronavirus lockdown, educational institutions across the country are closed. Students are stuck at home, with a lot of free time on their hands. Even though schools have begun online classes so that the effect on academics can be managed, students are still struggling to get their lives back on track.
Moreover, students spend the time when they are not attending classes either watching TV or on their mobile devices. With the abundance of time and online resources available, students can put the extra time into some better use. Here are some tips for students to use the extra time they have constructively.
Self-Study
The best way to spend time these days is for students to self-study. They can brush up on the topics taught in class, solve a few extra worksheets and be ready for doubts for the next class. Students must be doing so even when school was running as usual before the lockdown, however, now is the time when it is much more important to make sure they practice. They need to compensate for the difficulties of an online classroom.
Online courses
This is the best time to be enrolling yourself into an online course. The course might not be necessarily related to their academics. There are online courses available for practically anything nowadays. They can take up a new hobby or perfect an already existing one. This way, they will spend their time constructively and also learn a new skill which might come in handy when they grow up.
Study in advance
With educational institutions having shifted to online classrooms completely, all their resources are also available online. Students can take this time to have a brief look at the topics yet to be taught. This gives them a head start from when the topic is actually taught. It is also a good time for students who are thinking of sitting for competitive exams to begin early. They now have the leisure to spend some extra time on more advance topics, something they hardly get the time to do on a normal school day.
Read a lot more
Be it fiction or nonfiction, books only add to your arsenal. Students often complain about not getting to read and get through their bookshelves. This is the perfect time for them to set a reading timetable for themselves as well. This gives a productive break from their academics. For parents looking to help their child form a habit of reading, now is the best time to do so. Online versions of most book are now available. They can now enjoy their favourite author without the need to go to the book store.
Work on your personal health
Being locked up at home is having a toll on everyone is their own different ways. This calls for students to take extra care of their mental health. They should spend time with their families and friends. The best way for them to stay in touch with their friends is through virtual mediums like video calling. It is important that they keep their morale high in difficult times like these.
