Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) is offering K-12 students free help with their homework by way of a new live chat feature on its website, columbuslibrary.org. CML staff members are available to directly respond to students’ questions and refer them to the many free resources available to them. This new digital service is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on CML’s new Help For Students Learning From Home web page, which also includes dozens of other resources to help students be successful while learning from home.
Working from home? Here's a great tip in case you need to scan a document. Iphone users: go to "notes" and hit the little camera button. It will ask if you want to scan a document. Lay out the pages you want to scan and it will save them all as a PDF File!
Organization Tips
Develop routines:
Having a morning routine that gets your day off to a good start. Get up early enough to eat a good breakfast and not be rushed.
Before you go to bed, get everything ready for the next day. Put your backpack and anything else you will need in the same place each night. If there's something you need to remember to do in the morning, leave yourself a note.
Create a study plan:
Know when you study best and create a study plan that works for you. Identify anything that could interrupt your studying and figure out how you can eliminate or avoid it.
Eliminate clutter:
Throw out any papers you don't need, and put those you want to keep in a home file.
Use a monthly wall Calendar:
A monthly wall calendar will you keep track of major events, projects deadlines, vacations, etc.
Keep phone numbers:
Have a phone number for at least one person in each class. If you miss a class or have a question, you'll then have someone to call.
