10 Tips on How to Make Learning Fun During and After Covid-19

Now that we are at home most of the time due to the pandemic situation some of the routines can be very boring including studying, isn't that so? Well, before you answer yes or no, the question is what do you do to make learning fun while at home during this new normal mode of covid-19?

Below are my top 10 suggestions for young people straight from my diary that you should try.

1. Before you start learning anything you must have a plan. Start with defining the goal for learning and make sure it is S.M.A.R.T (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-bound).  Example of learning goals; a) I want to learn something new to improve my life. This is very vague and open to many questions. b) I want to learn how to code a simple website by myself using free available tools and tutorials by the end of December 2020. This is a much better version that meets the S.M.A.R.T model.
   
2.   Have different categories for learning for example a mix of general knowledge, your subject area of interest etc.
   
3. Adapt into new ways of learning and attach a project, task or assignment that you must complete.
   
4. Learn from different experts in the same area of interest.
   
5. Do different format if you can for example audio, videos, article, books etc.
   
6. Organize a meet up with an expert online to discuss your areas of interest towards learning and seek their advice.
   
7. Share that knowledge with a friend, by the way you gain more through sharing.
   
8. Out of the 10 points identify top 3 that is a must do regardless of your situation that forms the core of your learning pattern.
   
9.  Schedule breaks and open hours to explore the outside environment adhering to all safety guidelines. For example take a long walk alone, if you have a bicycle go for a ride in open space etc.
   
10. Account for your hours through daily check and if you stay with someone share you plan for the week and ask them to check with you if everything is going as per the plan. 

There you go, I hope by sharing this knowledge it will spark new ways of learning and exploration in your plan.

Teaching to me is my career, a calling, passion and lifestyle.

•  – “The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself.” - Edward Buller-Lyton

•  – “The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate ‘apparently ordinary’ people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people.” – Patricia Cross 

•  – “The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.” – Robert M. Hutchins
