Default future progressive

I'll be teaching future progressive this Saturday. Please check if my idea is correct between the difference of simple future and future progressive.

Example sentences:

Simple Future: I will study when you get home.
Future progressive: I will be studying when you get home.

With the simple future, I will only study when you arrive unlike with the future progressive I am already in the act of studying when you arrive.

Am i right?
