MAKE HOME LEARNING EASIER

With your whole family packed in at home, here’s how to create better workspaces so your kids can learn, connect, and create—with fewer distractions, and more bridges to effective learning.
(Even in the living room.)

BUILDING A BETTER
WORKSPACE

SET ‘EM UP RIGHT

SET ‘EM UP RIGHT

Learning from a screen for several hours a day? That’s a new experience for kids. That’s why the setup is so important—it ensures that they maintain good posture. Also, make sure to set up a schedule with breaks. Kids need to move, and it’s critical for health!

CULTIVATE CREATIVITY

CULTIVATE CREATIVITY

No two students are exactly alike. With big, creative minds, students need the tools to match, so they can express themselves organically, learn better, and thrive. Whether it’s handwriting, drawing, or making a video, putting the right tools in their hands can make it happen.

CUT THE NOISE

CUT THE NOISE

Kids’ audio processing skills are still developing through their teens, so in order to retain information, they need their audio dialed up to a higher volume than any background noise. Make sure to pick a headset with a built-in microphone so your child can also be heard.

SHOW YOUR WORK

SHOW YOUR WORK

Webcams are flexible and let you choose what’s being seen on-screen. Position your webcam on a tripod or shelf at an angle to get the right effect. For older children, a webcam with a tripod can be used as a document camera, allowing your child to easily show teachers or classmates what they’re working out on paper.
