Boom-Bang Homework Assignments | Edutopia

Beautifully expressed - it is the thoughtful description of the thinking behind homework that makes a difference. When homework is visualized, kids can see themselves doing it, and when the homework leads to work followed up on in class, kids don't want to be left out of the fun of discussions or whatever you're doing that day.

Call on all the people who aren't volunteering sometimes. Ask the frequent volunteers to help pull their friends and classmates into the conversation. Ask the kids ahead of time to support their classmates and make this class a community. Everyone in the room is "us" not "you."

ASCD EDge -Does Tech Hold Educators Back?

Focus on what needs to be learned, not the tech. The tech is only the tool. Thinking, evaluating, composing, these are the goals.

Allie’s Rules for High School : Sandra Stanley

Wonderful rules for high school, girls. A thoughtful young woman not much older than you wrote them for her freshmen girls' group.
