Hello GSU Students, Dr Rizzo here.

As we prepare for online learning it is imperative that you (as the students) take serious measures to prepare as well to "learn from home".

For most of us, "home" is a place of refuge... one where we rest and relax. But in the coming weeks, you will be expected to create a space in your living domain for you to use as a "work" zone do that you can maintain the focus, diligence, discipline, and organization that you started 9 weeks ago when this semester began.

Consider zoning your home into "work", "fun", and "sleep" areas. Do not overlap. Sleep where you are supposed to and work where you designate. Be consistent above all else!

If you have a family or roommate(s), consider putting together a schedule so you each have your needs met if you need private time for webex presentations etc.

Does all of your technology accommodate your class needs? Check this!

How will you organize email? Consider making one folder "spring 2020 online" . Add a subfolder for each of your courses. Within each course subfolder add separate subfolders for each week. Thus, filing your incoming emails per week within each course.

How do you learn? Etc....

Here are a few inventories/quizzes that you can go through to help you with all the above challenges that will be coming your way very soon.

Remember- your Professor is a resource as well. Reach out to them to ask if you are struggling. Do this sooner rather than later. We are in this together.
