Creating a well-organized space where everything is close at hand
Having a perfectly organized video lesson station is certainly a great advantage to be able to spend five hours in front of the computer to follow the lessons online. The first step to take is to choose an ad hoc space, that is, used exclusively for the DAD. The children ‘s room is certainly the most recommended place, also because usually the desk where they study and do their homework is positioned in this environment.
The ideal solution would therefore be to have a fixed station in the bedroom to be used for distance learning . Space can be arranged in the bedroomof the kids, where a desk, a chair and a good Internet connection are enough to stay connected with the lessons. The furnishing of this space must be studied in detail and must be performing, for the creation of a perfect study station . Furnish with functionality and style a fixed station for the DAD Desk , chair and computerthey are therefore the essential elements to be able to follow the lessons online even for many hours in a row. Distance teaching has entered the homes of those who have had children of school age for a long time, ensuring children a practical and functional environment and an intelligent way to allow lessons to be carried out or a question or a class assignment in a correct manner. Ergonomic chairs
Fundamental point of each station for the DAD and the chair. Normal chairs are not exactly ideal for those who have to sit at their desk for many hours and can create annoying ailments such as back pain or muscle tension in the neck. It would be advisable to purchase an ergonomic chairand for the office, to allow the student not to strain the muscles of the neck and back and above all to guarantee a correct and comfortable posture. The sector offers a wide range of models of ergonomic chairs or office armchairs , which embrace various types of prices, starting from the most economical up to high-end design chairs , obviously the choice must be made according to your possibilities. High- performance desks
The desk is the other essential piece of furniture for a space used for this online learning methodology. As for a piece of furniture such as the desk, the rule is one: organize it in such a way as to make every daily action, inherent to distance learning, in a practical way to always have everything at hand. The ideal would be to also set it up with an organizer for pens, highlighters, paper clips and pencils to always keep order. You can also reserve a corner of the desk to hold textbooks and notebooks, where you can store what you need for the day’s lessons. If there are shelves and shelves near the desk , all the books of the current school year and new notebooks can be stored there. The children ‘s bedroom
furniture production sector offers a vast catalog of design desks of the best brands, manufactured taking into account the most specific needs of today’s life and designed in harmony with the needs of each child. Setting up a space for the practical and functional mobile DAD
Setting up a fixed position is the most suitable suggestion when there is only one child in the house. But if the family is made up of several children who have to attend the online lessons at the same time
This is a problem faced by many families. The children certainly cannot follow the lessons in the same room and therefore an alternative must be thought for a mobile station, which in any case allows the student to follow the teachers on the web in complete tranquility.
A space in the living areait can be used as the DAD. If there is no space for a classic desk, you can use so-called space-saving furniture such as folding tables , tables for laptops or folding shelves . If it is not possible to set up the area with this solution, you can still use the living room table or the kitchen table with some small precautions. Also in this case the chair is very important, if the study station is not fixed it is better to choose an office chair with wheels , practical and comfortable to move from one room to another. Designing perfect lighting for the DAD
Light, especially natural light, is also of fundamental importance to create a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. The window should always be on the sides (or right or left) of whoever is positioned in front of the computer and never behind or in front. Another trick is to also study a good artificial lighting system. There should be two light points: one created by a ceiling lamp and one directed, by means of a table lamp , to be oriented when needed when needed, indispensable above all to back-light the PC screen.
As for the ambient light given by the suspended lamp, the advice is to choose a model that produces diffused lighting and that expands in the room in a homogeneous way. The table lamp , on the other hand, should be equipped with a movable arm with a diffuser to be oriented, in order to direct the light beam where it is needed.
The light, when you spend many hours in front of the PC, is essential in order not to strain your eyes and not to have eye problems. The most recommended solution is to use low energy consumption LED lamps that produce a warm but also neutral light. A comfortable and cheerful place to follow online lessons
To make the environment where the children follow the lessons at a distance more cheerful and comfortable, some small tricks can be followed. This new way of doing school has greatly reduced the contacts between students and sometimes a little sadness can arise in them for not being all together in the classroom. So creating a cheerful and joyful space could help them follow the lessons with more enthusiasm. Your children are tired between a break and another of staring at a gray and anonymous wall
The empty spaces can be decorated with photos , posters , or illustrations in colored frames and that give the right motivational charge to continue with determination during the online lessons .
Also, just like in school, during the DAD there are moments of pause that could be compared to the classic interval. In this case, dedicating a small shelf , near the desk, to this moment could be a good idea. Just like at school, in the DAD station at home, water, snacks, snacks and maybe an excellent hot tea should never be missing to restore energy and energy in the most tiring moments. In this case you can also opt for a cup to always keep on your desk, decorated with the one your kids like best.
