MOST OF IT IN THE BEST 4@WAY TO
PREP FOR LEARNING FROM HOME IS4@
TO MAKE A SPACE THAT IS
COMFORTABLE AND TO ORGANIZE YOUR
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.
DIGITAL STRATEGIST SPOKE4@ TO AN
4@INTERIOR ORGANIZER FOR CREATIG
A COMFORTABLE AND FUNCTIONAL
E-LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> I AM DOING WELL.
GLAD TO BE WITH YOU.
>> Reporter: WE KNOW SO MANY
PARENTS ARE FACING THIS NEW
UNCHARTED TERRITORY OF WORKING
FROM HOME, DOING4@ REMOTE
LEARNING.
HOW DO WE GET IN THE GROOVE?
WHAT ARE THE FIRST STEPS WE
SHOULD MAKE TO MAKE SURE IT'S A
CONDUCIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL
INVOLVED4@?
>> I'M GOING TO TELL PARENTS
LIKE I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU,
AND I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU4@ N
CREATING THIS E-LEARNING SPACE
AT HOME.
FIRST THING,4@4@ SHOP AT HOME F.
A LOT OF THE SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND
A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE NEED4@ O
SET UP THE CLASSROOM AT HOME ARE
ALREADY INSIDE OF OUR HOMES.
MANY OF US IN OUR4@ GARAGE.
SHOP YOUR HOME FIRST.
SHOPPING YOUR HOME FIRST, YOU
WANT TO MAKE SURE4@ THAT YOUR KD
HAS A DESK.4@
IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE
4@STUDENT YOU MAY WANT TO GET TO
DESKS4@ AND TURN THEM FACING EAH
OTHER SO THAT WAY EACH STUDENT
HAS THEIR OWN4@ SPACE WHEN IT
COMES TO E-LEARNING.4@
>> Reporter: IT IS IMPORTANT
TO HAVE YOUR OWN SPACE, BUT ALSO
YOUR OWN SUPPLIES.
IF YOU ARE A PARENT AND YOU
HAVE, YOU KNOW, THREE CHILDREN
AT HOME IN YOU'RE ALL TRYING TO
LEARN AT4@ THE SAME TIME, WHAT S
THE BEST WAY TO DIFFERENTIATE
EVERYBODY SUPPLIES?4@
>> WE HAD TO DO4@ THIS THIS YEAR
AS WELL.
ONE OF4@ THE THINGS YOU WANT TO
>> WE HAD TO DO4@ THIS THIS YEAR AS WELL. ONE OF4@ THE THINGS YOU WANT TOO
IS COLOR COORDINATE4@ EVERYONE4@
SCHOOL SUPPLIES.
PICK A COLOR, PICK MAY BE
FAVORITE COLOR4@.
BY ALL OF THEIR SCHOOL SUPPLIES
WITH THE THINGS THAT THEY ARE
GOING TO THEIR SCHOOL SUPPLIES
AND IN THEIR FAVORITE COLORS.
THAT WAY THE MORNING OF CLASS,
EVERYONE KNOWS WHERE THE SCHOOL
SUPPLIES ARE, AND WHERE THEY CAN
FIND IT.4@
>>4@ Reporter: I LOVE THAT IDEA.
THE THIRD THING YOU HAVE IS
CREATING A DESKTOP.
WE HAVE A LOT OF V4@IEWERS SITTG
IN PICTURES.
HOW CAN YOU MAKE IT4@ SO THE KIS
ARE IN ACTIVE AND THEY WANT TO
LEARN?
THEY WANT TO GO INTO THE SPACE
TO DO THEIR WORK4@?
>> THIS IS MY FAVORITE TIP.
IT IS A CUSTOMIZED COMPUTER4@,
DESKTOP ORGANIZER.
LISTEN WE CAN ALL USE THIS.
MOMS AND DADS ALIKE.
IT'S EASY FOR THEM TO GET TO ALL
OF THEIR APPS AND ALL OF THEIR
PROJECTS, YOU CAN EASILY CREATE@
THIS AND EACH DAY EVERYONE KNOWS
WHERE TO FIND THEIR ONLINE
THINGS, BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT THERE
CUSTOMIZED ON THEIR DESKTOP.
>> AND, BRANDON, HERE'S THE
NUMBER ONE TIP THERE WAS AN
ABSOLUTE SHOCKER FOR ME4@.
I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN GUILTY OF
DOING THIS.
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT WHERE
PARENTS4@ PICK THEIR E-LEARNING
SPACE.
SHE SAID, DON'T PUT IT IN YOUR
CHILD'S BEDROOM4@.
THE REASON BEING, THE BEDROOM IS
THE PLACE WHERE WE GO TO
REJUVENATE, AND YOU DON'T WANT
TO CONFUSE THAT WITH TH4@E
LEARNING SPACE.
LET THE BEDROOM BE THE BEDROOM
AND FIND SOMEONE ELSE IN THE
HOME4@ F4@OR THE CHILD TO DO THR
E-LEARNING.
>> Reporter: FOR ME,
PERSONALLY, IF I WAS BACK IN
SCHOOL AND DOING SOME
E-LEARNING, THE COMMUNITY WOULD
BE A LOT EASIER IF I WAS GOING
FROM THE BED TO THE DESK IN MY
BEDROOM.4@
WE ALL NEED TO GET TO THE
KITCHEN TABLE OR A PLACE WHERE
MOM AND DAD CAN SEE WHAT WE ARE@
DOING, RIGHT?
>> EXACTLY.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE OUT OF THE
BEDROOM AND PUT IT INTO PLACE
WHERE YOU ARE4@ LEARNING HO4@W E
YOU ARE WORKING FROM HOME AS
WELL.
THAT'S A GOOD OPTION, TOO.
>> Reporter: REAL QUICKLY,
PARENT SHOULD NOT BE SO HARD ON
THEMSELVES, BECAUSE THIS IS NEW
UNCHARTE4@D TERRITORY FOR ALL OF
US.
IF IT D4@OESN'T GO RIGHT THE FIT
DAY, YOU KNOW, YOU4@ ALW4@AYS HE
DAY NUMBER TWO, THREE, AND FOUR
TO GET IT RIGHT?4@
>> EXACTLY.
GIVE YOURSELF SOME GRACE.
WE'VE NEVER BEEN IN THIS BEFORE.
WE ARE ALL GOING TO BE LEARNING@
HOW TO WORK THIS E-LEARNING
TOGETHER.
HAVE A GREAT YEAR, GUYS.4@
