Pro Tip: Labeling your chargers can also be helpful, especially for younger students. It might also reduce the likelihood of it getting stolen or someone accidentally mistaking it for their own.
Protect your tech
When school is in session, there are multiple drills to ensure the safety of students. Fire drills, Tornado drills, and intruder drills all provide a safe environment and workplace for students and teachers. The same can be said for surge protectors ensuring the safety of yourself and your devices.
Having a safe workspace is just as important as having a productive one. Picture this: you set up a charging station for your workspace and have multiple devices plugged into an extension cord without surge protection. One power surge, and all of your devices are fried and that almost finished book report is lost forever. An easy way to prevent this from becoming a reality is to use a Cordinate extension cord with surge protection. As an added bonus these cords actually look great too. The braided cords are available in multiple colors and allow you to finish off your aesthetically pleasing yet productive workspace.
tune into your lessons
If you're a parent with multiple kids all trying to do online school, it can get a little hectic and loud. Likewise If you're a college student with roommates also doing online classes, chances are your study space isn't as peaceful as you'd like. Stylish earbuds will help to drown out some of that unwanted noise and distractions. With multiple different ages, it can be difficult to find Earbuds that will fit each person. Rubberized earbuds come with different sizes in order to enhance comfort and ensure a secure fit. Drown out all of the unwanted noise, and tune into your class to create that classroom atmosphere with your classmates and teacher.

Now that you have all of the gear, you're still missing the “classroom.” Help make this transition smoother by adding café lights to your workspace. These lights are the perfect way to enhance your at home classroom and complete your aesthetic. These easy-to-use lights with color changing options can help to erase the homeschool blues.
