Learning In The Times Of COVID-19

Grasp the wonders of the universe from the comfort of your home

Did you know that over 72% of students take part in extracurricular activities? But now, due to the pandemic, all students have been forced to switch to online learning, barring them from taking part in extracurricular activities. There are many benefits of taking extracurricular activities (apart from the peace that parents get due to their kids being occupied); students learn time management, adopt various skills, increase their creativity, improve their social skills and physical health, etc. While online learning cannot provide all these benefits, there are many inherent advantages over traditional classroom learning.

With the freedom of learning anytime, anywhere that online learning provides, you can be sure your kid won’t be missing the school bus. All your kids would need is a device with an internet connection, and they can learn from the comfort of their home.

Why is the sky blue? Where does the sun go in the night? Can I go out to play? Why is the earth round?

If you are a work from home parent you will be familiar and tired of being asked these questions by your kid. It’s a dilemma to choose between answering your boss who’s expecting the status of your work and your young genius whose curiosity you don’t want to dismiss. This is one of the instances where online learning will come to your rescue. Online learning has greater accessibility to information than traditional classroom learning; you don’t have to depend on the school to teach the extracurricular activity. You can search online and get the course or workshop your kid is interested in and then just take a step back and watch as your kid gains knowledge that he otherwise wouldn’t be able to get due to this pandemic.

Kids often show fascination towards science, given the push they can grow up to be great scientists. If your kid is passionate about science do sign them up for the Young Astronomer Program by Labrynthe. The Young Astronomer Program is a series of online workshops for kids between 4 to 18 years of age. The program is designed to help students gain knowledge about the universe and lay the foundation for the scientists they want to become.
