They condiser the Internet to be their most importantsourceTheme 1: Differing Opinions NecessityMakes it bad OptionalTeachers students to overvalue work and increases a sense of 15.competition. Takes time away from family and personal well-beingMost homework not designed well – should be designed toinvolve activities appropriate for the homeInappropriate homework may even decrease student achievementMiddle schoolers should have between 1 to 2 hours of homeworka night.Homework punishes students in poverty 6Students need to complete long-term independent projects as partof a rigorous academic program but do they need to do this athome? They need to learn skills through drill and practice. Placefor these things is in school.Theme 2: Value of Homework StudentWhat makes it good understandingSharing answers with peers before submitting an assignment to 12.the teacher can enlarge students’ perspectiveAllows students the opportunity to determine what material theyunderstand and identify areas where more study or explanation isneeded 8.Computer animations and multimedia presentations Benefits to classroom 8.All forms of computer based instruction were effective at the Efficacycollege level but somewhat less effective at precollege level 8.Students learned significantly more with web-based homeworkthan with paper and pencil homework 9.Large Cooper study somewhat inconclusive on certain points 10.Little impact on learning in geography. 11. Cultural context 13. and 16Students consider internet homework helpful because such 12.assignments increase their understanding of curriculum topics,

Rich MayerTheoretical Rationale orSeminal Author Kralovec BuellHow can I use this theory to connect to mml and homeworkHow can I come up with appropriate HW that will provide somefeedback at little or no cost? Have access to textbook interactiveweb sites – so-so but may suffice and can use WISE programmingbut they are used to WISE and most wise programs offer noimmediate feedback.Should I be focusing on designing hw that incorporates labsimulations and more visual explanations of concepts? How can Iguarantee that students have access to a computer with thenecessary software – even things like quick time might not workon some computers or parents may be unwilling to downloadnecessary plug-ins.My dilemmas: 1. I think homework is of great value to keep school in the forefront of a studentsthinking. They go home to 4 to 6 hours of computer gaming and learn very little fromthese gaming sessions. 2. I am willing to admit that much homework may be construed as busywork 3. I feel that reading in the textbook is a good entry to expanding students readingof non-english class literature. Unfortunately, even though we have picked a textbookwith a lowwish reading level, it still may be too difficult for many of our students.However, is it only difficult because they don’t want to go to the effort of finding outwhat unknown words mean – or making their lists so we can clarify the next day? 4. I am not good at taking class time for textbooik reading – many teachers takewhole days to read passages and chapter and work on outlining for review and study.While I do a bit of that, once I have tutored them in how to do it at the beginning of theyear I generally don’t do it again. Would rather spend my time with interactivedemonstrations or labs or lecturing (even though I know I am not a good lecturer). 5. It is becoming more and more apparent that administrators and parents don’twant homework given – yet, what are students doing after school? They leave us at 2:30.While there are a few who have rich active sports or music, or babysitting activities and
  5. 5. chores, most of our students spend their out of school time on their cell phones orcomputers. 6. How do we make the homework the teacher feels is essential more relevant anddeemed important to those administrators and parents? Will creating lessons and hw onthe web and internet give validation to the assignment and encourage a higher completionrate? 7. Once we improve the completion rate for hw will that translate into higher testscores? Will these higher test scores become because we can devote more in class time toexperiments and work at a lab station? Even though other studies have shown that thesame learning can be effected with computer simulations I am seeking a way to getstudents more interested and involved in the classroom during the day. Lack of interest inall educational topics is dragging us down. A higher percentage of students attach littleimportance to what is happening in the classroom. Will providing more computer timeand/or more lab time rather than “seat” time make their science education more relevantto them?1.
