2020 has been a tough year for families. With schools putting a more prominent focus on online learning instead of traditional in-person classes, it’s more important than ever to make sure your child has the proper tools they need to be successful in their new virtual learning environment.
Online Schooling
Students enrolled in traditional schools should be accustomed to learning through technology with the guidance of teachers. Due to COVID-19, the physical element will be limited for the safety and protection of the health of families and students. As a result, the online elements will become that much more important. However, this is where most of the problems arise, not only with technological confusion, but also with the prices of technology itself.
FlexShopper offers a variety of top branded products to get your child ready for the new school year. Here you will find some materials that will help better support the adjustment to the normalization of online schooling.
The Latest Technology For Students
While your student(s) are being assigned work at what can feel like a rapid pace, it’s vital to have technology that keeps productivity up. However, pieces of tech nowadays can really hurt your wallet. We offer the latest desktops such as Lenovo ThinkCentre for only $10 per week.
With a lot of schools starting a hybrid schedule of in-person and online classes, students have more of a need to have a mobile computer. We offer high-end, lease-to-own laptops, of which we recommend HP-Pavilion. However, for those on the move, we have a wide selection of tablets. Here we suggest Amazon-Fire. With virtual schooling arriving, the necessity for such electronics will become more and more relevant.
Your home internet speed may begin to slow down during this time due to the high influx of users at home all day. NETGEAR-Nighthawk solves the problem by giving your family high-speed internet that will support your family’s endeavors all day long.
Work-Area Furniture
As teachers begin to assign home and schoolwork, a common challenge that remains; the ability to find the motivation or comfort to complete assignments. We offer ergonomic desks and chairs that will help keep you and your children comfortable and engaged in work all day long.
Our recommendation is the Acme Adjustable-Height Desk along with a Lorell Mesh-Back Fabric Chair. Such furniture will provide comfort while increasing productivity when hard at work. Then, when found in the window of commitment, it can also become an issue of organization. Organization is a key part of staying on top of work. We offer Winsome Mobile File Cabinet. This will help you and your children keep work spaces clean, allowing more time to be productive.
Handling More Online Work
Not only will the work be piling onto each other. But, it’s also totally reliant on the student to be able to keep all assignments organized. Balancing storage that’s already being used, with added schoolwork, can be strenuous on some older computer models. This is where items such as hard drives come into great value, as they can offer extra storage for your work. We offer a variety of hard drives such as Toshiba Portable and Seagate Backup Plus.
Issues with handling other aging equipment can start to appear; this can range from a broken mouse to sticky keys on an older keyboard. We provide a selection of great mice and keyboards. Our most popular is the Logitech Wireless Combo, these will help to improve the quality of work being produced by your student(s).
Leisure Time
In the spare time of your hard-working student(s), entertainment and hobbies are healthy ways to relax one’s mind, giving them the time and ability to relieve stress for an even more productive tomorrow. Video games have been linked to studies suggesting that they improve a range of areas within minds such as social, behavioral, and emotional performance along with productivity.
We offer a variety of gaming systems such as Xbox One, Playstation 4, and Nintendo Switch. Another popular option is the Playstation VR virtual reality system. We also offer a wide selection of games for entertainment along with these popular systems.
Biking is also a popular leisurely task for many. We offer a multitude of lease-to-own bike options. Our recommended choice is the Schwinn Network Hybrid Bike for those looking to get out on a nice ride during a lunch break or after a long day of sitting in front of the computer.
Musical instruments are another way to keep students active and a good hobby that will build up skills and add to their sources of entertainment throughout their time at home. Playing instruments has been shown to assist in the improvement of cognitive ability. Also, learning new skills, or brushing up on skills from the past is always fun all the while creating great new memories.
The Takeaway
As the time nears for the return to school, many changes are to be implemented within our very homes. While your student(s) continue their education, it becomes increasingly evident that these changes are necessary for the world to get back to normal quickly.
