To get the most out of Cubby, try some of the specific suggestions below, or let us know how you use this app in the comment box at the bottom of the page.

Organization Activity

With your child, use Cubby to create subject folders for each class he has in school. Within subject-specific folders, your child will be able to upload important, relevant resources, helping to take his classroom experience on-the-go. Think of Cubby as more than just online storage space. Cubby can function like a mobile notebook with all class content your child will need to study from. An organized Cubby helps to keep your child's notes all in one place. Even handwritten notes, quizzes, and tests can be scanned and uploaded as images, making Cubby a versatile tool for gathering your child's most important academic files together in one place.

Planning Activity

Have your child download the free version of Cubby. You can practice planning by making choices about what your child should upload to the app each week. If your child is in school, it would be beneficial to include notes, essays, and scanned tests and quizzes in the cloud-based archive. Because the free version allows only 5 GB of space, every file and document your child syncs should serve a purpose. Music, pictures and videos are great for leisure, but with limited space, your child will have to use forethought to pick and chose the most appropriate content.

Cubby & ADHD

Children with ADHD face challenges prioritizing and arranging important material related to tasks, and the scattered disposition of their thoughts can often leads to unpreparedness in the classroom setting. They may struggle tor organize their work, or keep track of their progress within different subjects. A mindful use of Cubby can help children with ADHD become more organized, enabling them to plan ahead while giving them the confidence and competence to succeed in school.

How To Use Cubby For Children With ADHD:

• For every subject in school, use the "add new folder" function to create an organized personal space of classwork for children with ADHD. The folders are then tiled and begin to resemble a table of contents. All coursework should be synced to Cubby as soon as children complete it, then organized into the proper folders.

• Because children with ADHD tend to be forgetful, they may neglect to bring their homework to class. Children should make a habit of syncing word processed homework, especially essays, to Cubby for easy access on their mobile devices - in the event that they forget their homework.

• Cubby allows children to directly access account settings, to keep them aware of how much storage space they are using. Children with ADHD find it challenging to monitor their behavior. Cubby keeps them abreast of their latest syncs, to prevent them from cluttering Cubby with useless data.
