Distance Learning Tools
Distance learning is challenging for many different reasons. Below are a few tips to help you be successful no matter where you're learning takes place:
- Stick to a schedule: Setting a routine is essential for distance learning. Use this helpful tool to help you get started.
- Utilize virtual study help, such as Khan Academy.
- Take a break to get active: Physical activity helps your brain process information. Try one of these videos from Just Dance or these Easy At Home Exercises to get up and get moving.
From the CCC
UC for You - Free event intended to help students and families who will be applying this fall get to know the nine undergraduate campuses. October 3rd, 10:00 am; for 9th-11th grade students and their families
Please check out the College Fair website! The videos from each of the sessions will be available by September 18th. If you are interested in chatting with other college representatives, please view the list available on your home page in Naviance. You can sign up for upcoming visits or email Mrs. Wigdor for any requests. Please sign up for a few (or more!)-you are speaking directly with admissions officers of these colleges. They want to get to know you--sign up for one or two colleges that you've never heard of-you may be pleasantly surprised with their college offerings and financial packages for students. Our public school system is amazing (UCs and CSUs), but there are so many choices out there! Explore-make sure you are finding one that is a fit to your personality and your financial ability to pay.
Take a look at the CCC Events page for more events and information (UC/CSU Information sessions, scholarship night, Virtual College Visits etc).
Resources, as they become available, are accessible for students in the Class of 2021 Google Classroom (code qal66pp).
