Much of those efforts may be directed at potential threats outside the home, but it's equally important that par- ents prioritize safety inside their homes as well. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, a child in the United States is injured in a television or fur- niture tip-over incident about 43 minutes. Tip-over incidents are preventable, and the CP- SC offers the following tips to protect children. • Use sturdy furniture. When choosing furniture to hold a television, be sure to read product descriptions to ensure you're only buying furniture designed to hold a television. Items described as "television stands" or "me- dia centers" are designed to hold televisions, but size and weight restrictions also must be considered when buying such products. T V stands and media centers are only safe if they are designed to hold televisions that are the size of your T V. • Secure the television. The CPSC recommends that all televisions be secured by mounting or anchoring them to the wall. Properly mount- ed televisions likely won't come off the wall no matter how curious kids are, but no item should be lower than 27 inches from the ground. Par- ents who can't or don't want to mount their televisions can purchases anchoring kits, which the CPSC notes cost as little as $5 and take as few as five minutes to install. Parents hesitant to do the job themselves can have televi- sions mounted or anchored by professional installers for a nominal fee. Many electron- ics retailers offer installation services as well. • Secure top-heavy furni- ture. Top-heavy furniture al- so should be secured to pre- vent tip-overs. Anti-tip brack- ets are inexpensive and can be used to secure dressers, bookshelves and other piec- es that pose a threat to curi- ous youngsters. Anchoring furniture secures items to the wall, and the CPSC notes that a lot of newly built furni- ture is sold with anti-tip devic- es. These devices should be installed immediately so chil- dren are safe from the mo- ment a new piece is brought into the home. • Remove tempting ob- jects. Curious kids may try to climb furniture if they see toys, remote controls or oth- er enticing items on top of televisions, dressers or book- shelves. Keep such items low or stored in low drawers to re- move the temptation to climb. Tip-over incidents are dead- ly but preventable. Parents who recognize this threat to their youngsters' safety can ensure that their homes re- main safe environments for curious kids. Managing low bandwidth during remote learning In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, many schools hasti- ly transitioned from tradition- al in-person learning to re- mote learning. This transition posed new and unique chal- lenges to educators as well as students and their parents. One of the biggest challeng- es posed by remote learning was keeping students con- nected to their teachers and their classmates, not all of whom had readily available ac- cess to devices that could fa- cilitate such connections. In recognition of that challenge, school systems worked to procure devices for students only to be confronted by an- other challenge: low band- width. According to Micro- soft, bandwidth refers to the amount of data that can be transferred over an internet connection per second. Low bandwidth can compromise students' ability to stay con- nected to their virtual class- rooms. In an effort to help students overcome that chal- lenge, Microsoft offers the fol- lowing tips on how educators, students and parents can man- age low bandwidth during re- mote learning sessions. • Reduce reliance on video during class sessions. Turn- ing video cameras off during live class sessions can help to overcome the challenges posed by low bandwidth, as live video is a key contribu- tor to excessive use of band- width. If video must be used, encourage students to turn off their cameras when they are not speaking. • Use pre-recorded con- tent. Pre-recording content enables students to stream video over the internet, saving those with low bandwidth the hassle of downloading large video files to their computers. Microsoft recommends edu- cators who pre-record content for their students to stream to instruct those students to use class time to complete assign- ments. Educators can make themselves available via chat to answer questions students may have about their assign- ments. • Avoid video-based assign- ments. It can be difficult for students with low bandwidth to send very large files, such as videos. Educators can help students avoid that issue by not requiring them to submit videos as part of their assign- ments. • Encourage students to sync files to their devices. Each device is different and each manufacturer has its own instructions on how to sync files to devices. But Mic- rosoft notes that syncing files to a device allows students to read them offline, which is ideal for students with limit- ed internet connectivity. Low bandwidth poses a challenge for remote learners. Thankfully, there are ways to overcome low bandwidth so students can keep learning.
