Online homeschooling offers a wealth of learning opportunities, but it also comes with unique requirements. With the constant barrage of digital distractions, maintaining focus can be a daunting task.
However, there is a secret ingredient that can transform the online homeschooling experience: presence. An education expert claims complete engagement, attentiveness, and intentionality in learning are crucial for success.
“Presence matters for several reasons. When students are fully present, they absorb and retain information more effectively.
“Active participation in discussions elevates understanding from superficial to profound, fostering a deeper connection with the material and leading to better academic outcomes,” says Jo-Anne Buchner, Cambridge International principal of Evolve Online School, a brand of private education provider ADvTECH.
“Presence acts as a shield against stress, enhancing motivation and creating a structured yet engaging approach to learning. This environment encourages creativity and innovation, which are crucial for long-term success.”
