Taking the Time<\/strong><\/p> What we’re goingthrough today, as the Coronavirus pandemic forces us away from each other, willbe written in the history books of generations to come. How we respond willdictate the moral of the story our grandchildren will learn. So why not put ourbest efforts together<\/em> to tell the storyof what can be achieved when the world comes together for a united cause? <\/p> The kids are home– all the time – and that means so arewe. As our families learn to adapt to new living situations, we should rememberthat at the base of all these “inconveniences”, our kids can’t go toschool. We’re seeing positive stories every day of teachers implementingvirtual classrooms to keep education going. However, many kids are still leftwithout a plan. <\/p> At LeCiir, we valueeducation and believe every kid should keep on learning – pandemic or not. Sowe’ve put together a few fun (and free<\/em>)IT projects the whole family can enjoy together, at home. <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Learning Together<\/strong><\/p> Learning comes inmany forms. Collaboration, for instance, can help every person involved learnsomething new. One way for family members to digitally collaborate with eachother is with Trello<\/a>.Popular among enterprises, Trello is also gaining popularity with Trello forHome<\/a> – a fun and free collaborative tool for families. As describedon ComputerWorld<\/a>, Trello organizes projects intoboards allowing collaborators (in this case, our kids) to see what’s beingworked on, by whom, and where something is in a process. Families can assignchores and plan meals for the week – both of which may be useful ways toestablish a routine in times of quarantine. Trying to focus on the positive?Why not plan a party of vacation for the future? <\/p> With more time together, now seems like a great time to learn how to use a trendy technology as a family. As daily routines eventually get back to normal, the ability to plan and coordinate together in one virtual, accessible space will only become more useful.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Another fun way to collaborate and learn as a family is to build a family website. This cool IT project helps parents keep kids stimulated while also helping them develop the skills to use platforms like WordPress<\/a>, for example, on which 36% of the web is built. Build a website with WordPress for free and find lots of useful tips for getting started on WP Beginner<\/a>. <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Staying Connected <\/strong><\/p> As usual, we can’t resist talking about the cloud. When our kids do go back to school, having access to the work they accomplished at home is going to be important. A fun way to ensure a smooth transition back to school is by signing them up for free cloud storage services. In an article from ComputerWorld, the Best Free Cloud Storage of 2020<\/a> is summed up, including Google Drive<\/a>, Dropbox<\/a>, OneDrive<\/a>, and iCloud<\/a>, with storage space from 2-15 GB. Kids can set up and organize cloud storage from home, making it accessible to them from school later on.<\/p> For families looking to dive deeper into the IT department, setting up virtual machines, workplaces, and classrooms can also be a great way to stay connected and spend time together at home. We’ll get into that next week. In the meantime, stay in school, but stay home.<\/p> At LeCiiR, we want you to Live Easy, together.
