  Case: Homework-Yes or No?
I am not sure if homework is a good idea. Many of my students are home alone after school and do not have an adult at home to help them complete assignments, which results in the students not turning in complete assignment or any assignments at home. On the other hand I think it is important to spend a few minutes a night reviewing new information and homework is a good way to get kids to practice what they have learned in class. I am tired of fighting the homework battle. I would appreciate any insights on the viability of homework
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Perhaps a more effective method of homework could be the use of a flipped classroom. There are several website that facilitate this contemporary approach. Personally, I use the flipped classroom a lot. I post homework assignments that students can complete on line and send back to me online. There is no paper to keep up with . This is especially appealing to me as a middle school teacher. Also, the website I use has a discussion board. It is like a sort of educational Facebook. The students converse with one another over their reading for the night, or they continue a literature discussion for class. It is a great way to get shy students involved in the conversation. While I can see that students without access to technology could be a problem, there are ways around that. The sites can be assessed from a phone or iPod in addition to laptops, PC, and iPads or tablets. Moreover, for those without access, hard copies can always be printed.
