  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:06 PM EDT
    Here's the responses to our survey #bcedchat
  • PeterVogel Jun 4 @ 10:06 PM EDT
    Peter from Vancouver checking in for #bcedchat. Physics 12, ICT11/12. My homework for tonight is to photograph the ISS at 11:08 PM!
  • MsSallySong Jun 4 @ 10:07 PM EDT
    Q1: I give my 6/7s hwk to reinforce skills we've learned in class. However, struggling to make it "meaningful" & involve parents #bcedchat
  • MsVanBalkom Jun 4 @ 10:07 PM EDT
    A1: Homework is never assigned but may need to be done if assignments not finished within class given time. #bcedchat
    In reply to @bcedchat
  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:07 PM EDT
    A1: My hw policy started as all about completion of class, but then I struggled with those that struggled. needed something else. #bcedchat
  • rilmcknight Jun 4 @ 10:07 PM EDT
    A1 as i teach in a flex timetable I give work to last for the three non contact day. Ss work at school only #bcedchat
  • MsOlwenCowan Jun 4 @ 10:07 PM EDT
    A1: home is for home. School is for school, but if you dilly-dally you get to take school home. #bcedchat
  • CraigMah - Moderator Jun 4 @ 10:07 PM EDT
    Going to multi-task tonight! #bcedchat, working on school SEL data and listening to @NightValeRadio

  • cratman2 Jun 4 @ 10:08 PM EDT
    A1 - principal now but when in the math classroom, saw the inequity is caused. Seen flipped approach work better #bcedchat
  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:08 PM EDT
    Cool. Love that as homework. Something that is engaging and possible and not in place of classwork. #bcedchat
    In reply to @PeterVogel
  • courtenaysee Jun 4 @ 10:09 PM EDT
    A1: With Gr 9 Ss, I try to always have classtime to work on it so I can assess understanding before Ss (maybe) take it home...1/2 #bcedchat
  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:09 PM EDT
    Flipped is an awesome way to approach the homework question. Especially those that need guided practice. #bcedchat
    In reply to @cratman2
  • brigitte2008 Jun 4 @ 10:09 PM EDT
    Sometimes math homework is to go home and try out the math problem with the family and be the expert. #bcedchat
  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:09 PM EDT
    Yup. I wondered that, too. #bcedchat
    In reply to @brigitte2008
  • courtenaysee Jun 4 @ 10:09 PM EDT
    A1: HW is considered 'practice' as I am moving towards standards based grading. 2/2 #bcedchat
  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    Love it. But what if they get stuck during 'practice' at home? #bcedchat
    In reply to @courtenaysee
  • MsSallySong Jun 4 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    A1: My worry about NOT giving hwk is that kids spend HOURS on tech/social media at home w/ little-to-no P supervision #bcedchat
  • CraigMah - Moderator Jun 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT
    Do you experience parent requests for more (and more) homework? How do you address? #bcedchat
    In reply to @MsOlwenCowan
  • MsVanBalkom Jun 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT
    A1: If students "feel" they understand the problem, do they have to complete all questions or just until they feel confident? #bcedchat
    In reply to @courtenaysee
  • DouglasReeves Jun 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT
    In “Peak” Anders Ericsson suggests “gold standard practice” has immediate feedback and moves students outside comfort zone. #bcedchat
  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT
    This is the type of "hw" I love. Something that enriches with connecting between home and school. and gives confidence. #bcedchat
    • brigitte2008 Jun 4 @ 10:09 PM EDT
      Sometimes math homework is to go home and try out the math problem with the family and be the expert. #bcedchat
  • brigitte2008 Jun 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT
    In math there is as fine line between doing problems that are slightly outside of range that are doable and utter frustration. #bcedchat
  • DouglasReeves Jun 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT
    It’s difficult to envision Ericsson’s “Gold Standard Practice” ever happening at home. #bcedchat https://t.co/9td2zVw02X
  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    That immediate feedback is important (or at least timely) How can that be done at home? #bcedchat
    In reply to @DouglasReeves
  • brigitte2008 Jun 4 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    #bcedchat Sometimes we use the three in a row strategy. Get three in a row right and keep moving.

  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    Q2 coming up shortly. #bcedchat
  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    Q2: When can homework be useful in extending the learning? Or is it never useful? always useful? #bcedchat
  • dramaqueen4 Jun 4 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A1 #bcedchat Never anything new or requires support for home - usually finish what was started in class.
    In reply to @bcedchat
  • courtenaysee Jun 4 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    Can ask for help-linear system works well with that. + Ss mark it themselves & self-assess. HW mark not counted in final score. #bcedchat
    In reply to @brynmw
  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    I love that, but what if the students struggle in understanding, even though they started in class? #bcedchat
    In reply to @dramaqueen4, @bcedchat
  • courtenaysee Jun 4 @ 10:14 PM EDT
    Like this idea! #bcedchat
    In reply to @brigitte2008, @MsVanBalkom
  • dramaqueen4 Jun 4 @ 10:14 PM EDT
    A1 #bcedchat Always give opportunities to complete at linch, learning assistance, & during silent reading if behind. Teaching ownership
    In reply to @bcedchat
  • cratman2 Jun 4 @ 10:14 PM EDT
    A2- when it engages the learner and the family #bcedchat
  • brigitte2008 Jun 4 @ 10:14 PM EDT
    A2 Class can be chaotic and hectic. 'working at home' provides a quiet time to check in. See what they know or need support with.#bcedchat
  • rilmcknight Jun 4 @ 10:14 PM EDT
    Q2 Homework is very useful if the Ss choose to extend the learning or go above good enough work #bcedchat
  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:14 PM EDT
    I appreciate the self-assessment and not for marks. #bcedchat
    In reply to @courtenaysee
  • MsVanBalkom Jun 4 @ 10:15 PM EDT
    A2: I don't like to use such inflexible terms but generally, I believe it doesn't extend learning 1/2 #bcedchat
    In reply to @brynmw
  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:15 PM EDT
    Big if, though, around choice to extend. Are the routines/procedures that might help with that? #bcedchat
    In reply to @rilmcknight
  • courtenaysee Jun 4 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    I say yes, but right now I'd say I encourage most Ss to try all of them. Confidence is hard to be sure of. + depends on asgmnt! #bcedchat
    In reply to @MsVanBalkom
  • MsSallySong Jun 4 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    A2: I use @FreshGrade to set up at home conference for Ss & Ps to extend learning #bcedchat
  • MsVanBalkom Jun 4 @ 10:17 PM EDT
    A2: too often it is used to "prove" that learning is happening; Also, punishing kids who don't "get it" as quickly as others #bcedchat
    In reply to @brynmw
  • courtenaysee Jun 4 @ 10:17 PM EDT
    A2: It really depends on what the "HW" is...can be useful to confirm understanding of a topic, explore a topic more in depth..#bcedchat
  • rilmcknight Jun 4 @ 10:18 PM EDT
    The do better than good enough in class everyday. The view rubs off nost days #bced #bcedchat
    In reply to @brynmw
  • MsVanBalkom Jun 4 @ 10:18 PM EDT
    I like to use edmodo so Ss can contact me even outside school hours if they have questions #bcedchat
    In reply to @brynmw, @dramaqueen4, @bcedchat
  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:18 PM EDT
    A2: Students who get it, don't need the hw, students who struggle, can't do the hw. So, why do we give hw? Who does it help? us? #bcedchat
  • MsOlwenCowan Jun 4 @ 10:18 PM EDT
    A2: sometimes engagement from school work turns up in home. Research, dialogue, shared interests #bcedchat
  • MsSallySong Jun 4 @ 10:19 PM EDT
    A2: I really do not see hwk as punishment. As an upper-intermediate teacher, I have to teach my kids these skills for high school #bcedchat
  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:19 PM EDT
    Not too often, but I have even given out my cell number if they need to text a question. #bcedchat

  • ChristineYH Jun 4 @ 10:25 PM EDT
    A1. Marriage b/w homework and in class learning. I'm learning how to develop a BLENDED LEARNING ENVIRO in higher ed. HW required. #bcedchat
  • courtenaysee Jun 4 @ 10:25 PM EDT
    Not sure... think it depends on what the "HW" actually is. writing an essay? worksheet? 20 math q's? Reading about a current event?#bcedchat
    In reply to @brynmw, @MsSallySong
  • cratman2 Jun 4 @ 10:26 PM EDT
    Lol - another good debate - late marks - assessment of learning or of work habits? #bcedchat
    In reply to @technolandy
  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:26 PM EDT
    Is that homework that cannot be done in class? Extending your learning? #bcedchat
    In reply to @ChristineYH
  • ChristineYH Jun 4 @ 10:26 PM EDT
    A2. HW can be useful in a BLENDED LEARNING environment if the intention is for learning (not redoing). Enhances F2F. #bcedchat
    • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:13 PM EDT
      Q2: When can homework be useful in extending the learning? Or is it never useful? always useful? #bcedchat

  • brynmw Jun 4 @ 10:27 PM EDT
    Before Q4......Maybe we need to define homework. What exactly do you mean by homework? #bcedchat
  • MsVanBalkom Jun 4 @ 10:27 PM EDT
    A3: If Ss are going to school for 6 hours a day, 30 hours a week that is a full time job. Why are we asking for more? #bcedchat

    My principal once told me that “homework” may or may not have anything to do with the word home. Many of our homes were chaotic. #bcedchat
  • dramaqueen4 Jun 4 @ 10:28 PM EDT
    A2 #bcedchat Agreed. It punishes slower workers, weaker Ss. I would rather give less work, more class time, more review = better product 👍🏼
    In reply to @MsVanBalkom, @brynmw
  • ChristineYH Jun 4 @ 10:29 PM EDT
    A3. Intentions of HW matter. Ss need to understand purpose and how it connects to their learning. If not made explicit, then why? #bcedchat

    A3. Regarding homework. With a class size of 35-40 Ss & 5 grade levels it is near impossible for me to cover everything in class. #bcedchat
  • technolandy Jun 4 @ 10:29 PM EDT
    I often differentiate "homework" vs "work at home" - usually ownership, relevance, meaning are the separators #bcedchat

    This is important. If 21st learning is about the anywhere learning,we must remember not all homes are ready for this in many ways. #bcedchat

    More results from our poll on homework: Interesting that 46% T's don't give hw, and only 27% thought Ss didn't do hw. #bcedchat

    The idea that homework doesn't increase learning is incorrect and ignorant. Key is doing it effectively. https://t.co/Ns8tufQwSC #bcedchat

    The reason the research on HW is inconsistent is that articles are inconsistent in defining “homework”. #bcedchat
  • ChristineYH Jun 4 @ 10:55 PM EDT
    A7. IT DEPENDS. Make sure you know why you are giving HW, how it serves Ss learning, and what the follow up will be. #bcedchat

    Holly, just shared 3 biggest influences on Ss learning. #bcedchat

    This is my issue. So many different papers have different definitions or unclear definitions on hw. #bcedchat

    A7 HW is self driven w/ passion for discovery, a thirst to know what if.. Then theres magic. Doubt Ss wld consider that HW tho #bcedchat

    Q8: What role does work done at home play in your summative and formative assessments? #bcedchat
  • ChristineYH Jun 4 @ 10:56 PM EDT
    Agreed. I wonder if there is a time & place students can complete "incomplete" work at school... like HW club or study block. #bcedchat

    A8: I am reluctant to give summative assignments at home b/c I don't want to grade parent contributions. #bcedchat

    A8. HW (for my classes) is content knowledge building or acquisition. The formative and summative will happen at school. #bcedchat
  • dssmithduncan Jun 4 @ 10:57 PM EDT
    nice and they are also learning presentation skills on the side. Is this homework or home learning? #bcedchat

    A8 Is my class "is it for marks?" answer is always yes. Learning improves understanding and ultimately improves the 'number'. #bcedchat

    We have an afterschool HW club M-F. It's voluntary, and recommended for students - not a punishment. Works well. #bcedchat
