  • The homework system

      30 March 2014

    I thought it would be a good idea to tell you why this homework system will be excellent for schools in New Zealand. The online homework calendar will enable schools to set, track and monitor homework. Key Benefits for Teachers/School: Homework is transparent across the school. Heads of Departments can track homework set by department. Easy to generate homework evidence for inspections and audits. Teacher can plan homework projects ahead for the term. Teachers can reuse their own questions to save time. Email reminders send an alert when homework is due for collection. School can bridge the E-Learning divide and assess homework online. Significantly reduces printing/paper costs. Key Benefits for Students: Can see all their homework/assignments with due dates. Can keep organised and plan better. No more excuses for not handing in homework. Students with learning/literacy difficulties can take part in the homework process. Homework can be translated into 50+ languages to support EAL students. Key Benefits for Parents: Can see exactly what their child's homework is. Can take part in the home learning of their child. Can engage with the school to improve the learning outcomes of their child. Homework can be translated into 50+ languages to support EAL parents. Login usernames or passwords are not necessary.
