To prepare your child for success this school year, it is important to provide them with the required technology, tools, and dedicated learning space for the ultimate at-home study set-up. We’ve put together some tips on setting up the perfect workspace as well as the must-have laptops, tablets, and accessories. Want more Back To School inspo? Check out our Back to School hub!
Your child may be required to use Microsoft Office Software such as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint to complete school activities and homework, which is a lot easier to achieve on a device with a relatively large screen. Laptops are also a great idea as once children return to school, they can continue to use them.
Apple MacBook Air 13” 256GB
Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15" i3 8GB 512GB Laptop
Lenovo Yoga 7 14" EVO Core Ultra 5 16GB 512GB Touch 2in1 Laptop
Tablets are a great device to have when it comes to home learning as many come with an interactive Smart Pen which has multiple uses. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE has an included S Pen which is a fantastic way to help children problem solve maths equations, help with spelling, practice handwriting and so much more! Other products that are Smart Pen capable include Samsung Galaxy products, Apple products and Microsoft Surface products. Don’t forget you’ll need the applicable laptop or tablet to use your Smart Pen.
Apple iPad 10.9" (10th Gen) Wi-Fi 64GB - Silver
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Wi-Fi 128GB - Grey

Depending on the age of your child, they may benefit from having multiple screens in front of them. One screen may have their teacher conducting a class and the other may have a document where they are typing notes. This will help to increase productivity and allow students to multitask. You may need a HDMI cable to link the extra monitor to your laptop.

Many teachers have sent online learning packs home for children to work on. Some children learn and respond better by having a hard copy of the work in front of them, so you may need a printer to be able to print relevant tasks and activities. Alternatively, if your child is struggling with something such as the spelling of a particular word or a maths equation it can be a good idea to print it out and stick it somewhere in their learning space for them to visualise and see multiple times a day. Find our range of printers here.
Create an area in the house for your child to be able to focus on learning. It should be a place that is relatively quiet, without distractions and has a strong wireless internet signal. If this is not possible, you can use a wifi extender to increase wifi range to get the most out of online learning.
You want to make sure it is a space where your child feels comfortable. Set up a dedicated work space, with a desk and supportive chair rather than having them work from the kitchen bench, couch or bed. It’s important that it’s in a different space to where they would normally play games or watch television.
Temperature can affect a student’s attention span and concentration, so it is important that the room is a comfortable temperature for optimal brain function. Dyson has a range of heating and cooling products which can help with this. Now more than ever it is important to remain healthy - so you may also want to look into Dyson’s Air Purifiers. They capture allergens, pollutants and bacteria, which will help to keep the air quality high and clean.
It is important to have a pair of good quality headphones in your child’s learning space. Headphones allow students to focus on their studies, block out background noises and avoid distraction. It also helps to keep parents sane – by providing some silence!
