Magana and Marzano (2011) emphasize the importance of using homework only when appropriate, not necessarily regularly. Some strategies for implementing appropriate homework include previewing homework, homework to deepen knowledge, and homework to practice a process or skill (p. 71). ]]> 2022-03-23 18:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mloesing1/lnc1kyh3pxj82qco/wish/2110387013 mloesing1 https://padlet.com/mloesing1/lnc1kyh3pxj82qco/wish/2110395264 Under this strategy, the teacher assigns homework in form of texts, media pieces, or creative projects that will introduce students to the new material. Students may be expected to record their observations, questions, or reflections following the preview. 

Technology Integration: Multimedia enhancements like digital videos or recording tools; Screencasts of new content; Virtual tutorials 

Implementation Tips: This strategy is best implemented before new learning occurs. It may be best to utilize a platform that students are most familiar with when previewing homework. Since the content will include new information, introducing a new multimedia tool may make the new learning too confusing for students. I would recommend sticking with a platform or technology tool that students have adequate experiences with. ]]> 2022-03-23 19:03:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mloesing1/lnc1kyh3pxj82qco/wish/2110395264 mloesing1 https://padlet.com/mloesing1/lnc1kyh3pxj82qco/wish/2110404003 This strategy is designed to push students towards higher thinking skills. These skills might include compare and contrast, classifying, creating analogies, and evaluation of content. Different from the previewing strategy, this strategy would be best implemented after students have had the opportunity to become well-versed in the content. 

Technology Integration: Online scavenger hunts; TED talks; Comparing and contrasting using media resources

Implementation Tips: I think that this discussion post is a great example of this strategy. We were assigned class material to learn, and then were assigned the task of deepening our understanding of the new information (new chapter) by creating an online showcase. I think this could easily be implemented in any classroom. Engage students in content learning, and then give them an opportunity to use online tools, like Padlet, to demonstrate their understanding. ]]> 2022-03-23 19:09:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mloesing1/lnc1kyh3pxj82qco/wish/2110404003 mloesing1 https://padlet.com/mloesing1/lnc1kyh3pxj82qco/wish/2110414129 This strategy is most appropriate after students have had adequate time to independently carry out a process during class. Following, students can be expected to practice the process outside of class. This strategy improves students' speed, fluency, and accuracy in performing processes and skills. 

Technology Integration: Digital video tools for students to record themselves practicing the new skill or process; Screencasting software to explain how their thinking

Implementation Tips: ChatterPix is a great app for students to demonstrate their learning, and it works great for various grade levels. It is an app where students can take a picture of an inanimate object, record themselves talking, and it will appear as if the inanimate object has become animate by repeating the recording. This could easily be done at home by students. ]]> 2022-03-23 19:16:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mloesing1/lnc1kyh3pxj82qco/wish/2110414129
