![]() ![]() In social studies class, assignments are announced by the teacher out loud in class and “posted online” (but not really until a few days after they are due because the teacher is really busy). ![]() Some teachers only announce homework/assignments aloud in class, some write on the board or hand out a calendar, many use a website, some post on Google Classroom (where the long term assignments can get buried on the list of tasks) or use some combination of the above. It’s not uncommon to have 4 or 5 (or more!) different websites to work with, on top of traditional paper based assignments and work. Students not only now have to adjust to the different expectations and structures of various teachers and subjects, but also have to navigate where all the information is found for every class as well. Wait, what?! We had to turn that in ONLINE? We had a book report due? But, Mom, the teacher didn’t check my homework…I was supposed to show it to her anyway?Ī very HOT TOPIC and common theme with all of our students has become the challenge of managing not only papers, but all of the different ways information is communicated and assignments are completed these days. ![]()
