How to Create the Best School from Home Space for Your Children

Even if you have some experience teleworking, when it comes to creating a remote learning setup at home, there are some particularities you need to take into account, such as factoring in your children’s likes and dislikes.

Whether you are only now embarking on this adventure, or you simply want to improve your existing homeschooling space, this distance learning advice will help you stay on track and on top of everything.

ORGANIZE WITH COLOR

Before you start carving out a learning corner, ask yourself what your child’s needs are in terms of space and supplies, and consider using his or her favorite colors, animals, and heroes in the process. 

Take color usage one step further and employ it to better organize the space — it is equally fun and functional. This is because your child’s brain will recognize color much faster than processing a text label. All you have to do is assign a color to each class and keep the study materials separated in folders and bins of those colors. Apply this to notes and labels in the school schedule as well. 

If you want to take color-coding to the next level, teach them how to use it for note-taking by assigning different highlighter colors for titles, subtopics, formulas, or new words.

ARRANGE A DEDICATED SPACE

If you have extra space around the house, you are in the luck, but crowded homes can accommodate learning nooks too — you just have to get creative about it. It could be an unused spot under the stairs, or you could try to fit a desk into the walk-in closet. The bottom line is that your children need their own dedicated space to learn when going to school from home and ensuring that is fundamental.

This private corner away from distractions will help them focus better, will help set routines and it will increase their motivation to learn. Moreover, putting effort into arranging their individual study space will set an example for making education a priority in your family.

Assigning a dedicated space is not enough though. You should also take into account that a distance-learning home setup must be well-lit, visually stimulating and it must ensure comfort, so set some time and budget aside to adapt said space with these attributes in mind.

5 HOMESCHOOL SPACE IDEAS

  • Separate the learning space from the rest of the room by using a different color carpet, room dividers, or multipurpose pieces of furniture like stackable storage drawers and shelves.
  • If you lack space, consider buying a foldable wall-mounted table. You can also mount file holders and floating shelves to maximize the vertical space.
  • Make room for a whiteboard or a chalkboard. Alternatively, you can transform a part of the wall with chalkboard paint or wallpaper. You can also add a magnetic coat to it and attach colorful letters, numbers, and photos.
  • Repurpose regular household items like drawer dividers and multi-drawer toolboxes to store pencils, markers, and other school supplies.
  • Add pegboard shelving, as it will be easily customized as time passes and children’s needs change. Think about other versatile furniture options that will save you time and money in the long run.

Keep in mind that by creating an organized homeschool room set up, your child’s personality and productivity can truly shine. Are you excited to start investing in your children’s school-from-home space yet? We hope these key points helped pave the way to better distance learning.

Who doesn’t enjoy listening to a good story. Personally I love reading about the people who inspire me and what it took for them to achieve their success. As I am a bit of a self confessed tech geek I think there is no better way to discover these stories than by reading every day some articles or the newspaper . My bookcases are filled with good tech biographies, they remind me that anyone can be a success. So even if you come from an underprivileged part of society or you aren’t the smartest person in the room we all have a chance to reach the top. The same message shines in my beliefs. All it takes to succeed is a good idea, a little risk and a lot of hard work and any geek can become a success. VENI VIDI VICI .

Helldivers 2 Paranoia Peaks: Players are convinced that the Illuminate have already infiltrated our ranks

An incredible number of Helldivers 2 players have bravely fought in the ongoing intergalactic war, protecting Super Earth from the dangers of both Bug and Bot. There have been rumors, though, of a new enemy group operating in the dark, or maybe it’s just the return of an old enemy known as “The Illuminate.” Some people think they might even be here with us already, which is obviously defeatist nonsense.

The Illuminate were an enemy group in the first Helldivers game. They were an ancient, highly powerful alien race that wanted to destroy Super Earth. Everyone knows that they died out a long time ago. They do not exist, just like those harmful but completely false stories of flying bugs (thanks, IGN).

Nevertheless, some Patriots claim to be receiving hits from a “vibrant blue laser,” which some believe has a similar energy signature to rifle weapons that The Illuminate have previously used. They may be exhausted from fighting. It looks pretty different from the red energy weapons that Helldivers and bots use, but there is still not enough visual proof to say for sure.

Also, you probably shouldn’t pay attention to the in-game texts that say the Illuminates have been seen. “Blue beams aren’t real; they can’t hurt you,” is what Super Earth High Command says, and the account Helldivers Alerts (we think the developers run it) gave us a sneak peek at our old enemy.

Have you seen any blue lights flashing for no reason while you were on mission in Helldivers 2? Do you think the Illimunate are already among us, messing with voting boxes and pulling votes? Don’t change your mind about supporting Super Earth in the comments section below.

Recruited Since Last Month: More Than Eight Million Helldivers 2 Players

The relentless force of Helldivers 2 shows no signs of slowing down, as recent reports indicate that Arrowhead Games Studios, the Swedish developer behind the game, has sold over eight million copies since its release on both PS5 and PC just last month.

According to TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz (thanks, VGC), who spoke to Bloomberg, it is believed that the game has exceeded expectations in terms of performance. It’s amazing how word-of-mouth buzz and the unconventional guerilla marketing strategy keep driving up recruitment numbers week after week. Arrowhead’s studio motto, “A game for everyone is a game for no one,” reflects their unwavering commitment to their unique internal design philosophy.

It appears that the PC community has recently surpassed the PlayStation fanbase in terms of player numbers and platform preference. However, thanks to crossplay, both groups continue to benefit from the growing popularity of gaming. Although it’s not particularly thrilling to see yet another service game achieve rapid success, the hardcore nature of Helldivers 2 fills us with optimism for Sony’s ongoing live gaming endeavors. We anticipate dedicating ourselves to the defense of Super Earth for many years to come.

What are your thoughts on Creutz’s sales estimate? Does it come as a surprise to you? Does it exceed or fall short of your expectations? Have you noticed any changes in your level of enthusiasm for the Democratic Party? Has it waned or grown stronger? We would greatly appreciate your feedback in the comments section below.
