Since the beginning of 2020, the scenario of education has changed. With the lockdown in hand, students are kept away from the schooling atmosphere. Today, remote learning for kids is prevalent and there is no escape in the near future. So, we must find ways of overcoming the difficulties of home based learning (HBL) for kids and make it effective and simple for them.
Neha, who is a standard 1 pupil at an international school in Singapore, states that she enjoys home based learning. Her points are valid as she says she can now have the privilege of sleeping for long hours in the morning. On the other hand, Krish says, “I don’t have to carry my heavy school bag every morning”. Well, we as parents might not be able to come out of the stigma around HBL and accept it as the new normal.
Not all students are gladly accepting HBL as well. There are open declarations from the pupil that they are missing the classroom settings, their recess, friends and teachers.
However, making the best use of the resources at hand is what we should do under the current crisis. While kids cannot be kept away from academic progress, we have to find ways to make remote learning for kids more effective and enjoyable. Here are five essential strategies to make remote home based learning effective for kids.
