Treat your classes the same way you would if you were physically on campus. Eat breakfast, snacks and lunch at the same time you would if you were to be at school. Keeping a daily routine is the first step in creating healthy learning habits.
Have a separate work space if possible. Keep this space neat so you are not as likely to become distracted.
Keep your phone, ipad/tablet, video games etc. off or in another room so you will not be tempted by distraction. Check these items when you have breaks throughout the day so you are still focused when you need to be, but also taking necessary time to relax when needed.
When in virtual classrooms make sure you:
a. Mute your microphone when you are not speaking
b. Utilize the chat feature to ask clarifying questions
c. Have a background that is not distracting when you are using the video feature
As soon as class is over you should be completing the assignments that are assigned to you. Independent work time is built into the schedule for this purpose.
Set up times to meet with teachers if needed throughout the day. Utilize the office hours and support times that are already built into your schedule, the teachers are there for you!
Most importantly: take a break if you are feeling overwhelmed, and do not be afraid to ask for support from teachers or counselors! This is what we are all here for!
