When online learning we get a lot of textbooks online or physical books and it's important to take notes because teachers aren't gonna tell you what to write. I think the video because it tells how to take notes on a textbook. It's important to actually read the textbook and maybe move around while reading. It's also important to annotate your book. I liked how he showed the symbols he uses while annotating and how he writes in his books. Using those annotations you go ahead and put them in the form of a note. In the end, you read over your thoughts and connect those to your own understanding and add your opinion to the notes which leads to a better understanding long term.

How to Create a Morning Routine (and Stick to It Long-Term)

I think that creating a morning routine is super important when doing online learning. Online learning is basically doing school at home so its important to create a schedule for yourself while your home, waking up on time and having enough time to do everything that is needed to do great at school work. I think its important that the video said to make sure to leave your phone out of your morning routine because its distracting. I also like how he added that the evening routine is just as important as the morning routine. Morning routines are waking up at a certain time (early preferably), making breakfast, taking a shower/getting dressed, tidy up, and maybe just have time for yourself. It's also important to stick to your morning routine over a long period of time.

The Most Powerful Way to Remember What You Study

When doing work at home you might feel that you have to just finish the work instead of actually learning what's on the work. That's why it's important to actually remember what you study. Spaced repetition is a way you can do this. You can put flashcards in "boxes" where you study one box every day and the other every other day and so on. When you get one wrong the card goes back to studying every day. This helps because you spend more time on the cards that you need more learning on and less on the ones you don't. There are also apps that can help with this and that helps a lot with online learning since most are online rather than pencil and paper.

4 Steps to Reading a Textbook Quickly and Effectively

# data[].attributes.body
When doing online classes most of your textbooks might be digital that's why it's important to know how to read them and understand the material. It gives you examples of how to read the textbook and what to look for in the text to get the most material out of it. I choose this article because when you don't have a teacher explaining the material to you, it's your responsibility to learn the material yourself.

Effective textbook reading is a key study skill for student success. Nearly every class makes you read them.

"Makes" is the right word here. "Requires," "forces," or "insists" will also work. Few people read textbooks unless they have to. If you read textbooks for fun, shoot me an email. I need to interview you, because I don't think you exist.

Reading textbooks is weird. That's right - weird. Granted, we all have to read them. But even you bookworms - the kinds of people who devour the Twilight books in one week, or Harry Potter, or the Hunger Games books - know that textbooks are a bit weird.

Think about it. Textbooks are the only books you read today that have pictures on nearly every page (Dr. Seuss fans excluded). In fact, should you be forced to read a textbook without pictures, you are in real trouble. Those books get seriously tough. Nevertheless, understanding how to read a textbook is vital.

The goal of a textbook is simple: inform and educate.

The goal of the Harry Potter books is very different. Novels tell stories. Textbooks communicate ideas through explanations of information. Because of this, you need a different strategy for reading textbooks. Follow these four easy steps to get on your way.

1. Don't read front to back (aka, READ BACKWARDS)
Reading a textbook chapter front to back ensures that you will waste time.
I know it's counter-intuitive to not read a book front to back, but don't do it. Mystery novels stink when you read the back first, as do good thriller movies. If you read the last page of a Sherlock Holmes novel before you read the story, it'll be lame. If you know Bruce Willis is dead, don't watch the 6th Sense.

But textbooks are rarely building to a suspenseful twist at the end. I promise. I've read a lot. They don't come with surprise endings. "And then, Abraham Lincoln dodged the bullet!" Yep, that's never going to be in a textbook.

Want to try this strategy? Try reading your textbook chapter in this order:

1. Go to the questions at the end first . Read them, answer them to the best of your ability, and then begin your actual reading strategies. This will sort of "prime the engine" of retention.

2. Next, read the final summary of the chapter. This will give you a general background as to the Big Ideas in the chapter.

3. Third, look at the headings and subdivision of the chapter.

From that point you can then work through the chapter from front to back. By taking this out-of-order strategy, you are focusing not on the chronological order, but rather connecting the ideas found in the chapter together. This is infinitely more important than reading things in the order they were written.

2. Read for Big Ideas

Textbooks are extremely thorough. You, while needing thoroughness, are not going to be able to absorb every tiny detail found in a chapter. You have to focus on what's most important. See our posts on filtering for more info on this.

Textbooks are great because they explain those Big Ideas in context, but make sure you don't get lost in the minutiae. Read for the Big Ideas first and foremost and you'll be able to sift through the mountain of information available.

In textbooks, Big Ideas are easy to spot because they are often in bold print or section headings. Look for the complete sentence thought that summarizes and drives each subdivision and you'll have identified the Big Ideas.

3. Read for Key Details

Big Ideas need support. Otherwise they're just opinions. After you identify each Big Idea, make note of the supporting details that fill out and help the Big Idea make sense.

While this looks different in each subject, they should be relatively easy to pick out. Key people, places, and events often make up the key details in history books. Grammar rules are the important details frequently in grammar books. For languages, vocab are some of the most important key details of the chapter. Check your notes against the questions at the end of the chapter. If they reflect the same key details, you know you are barking up the right tree.

4. Read the book once but your notes multiple times

You should never have to read a chapter more than once (in theory). If you've done your reading well and taken notes as you read, you have a record of the thoughts being communicated.

Granted, it takes a while to adapt to this approach. Don't be upset if you have a time of adjustment before being able to read a chapter only once.

But if you put in the work now to get used to reading a textbook more effectively, consider the time you'll save in the long-run. We promise you'll see the benefits quickly. For those of you who are already using this type of active textbook reading strategy, congratulations on making the honor without losing your social life. Well done.
