I see it all the time, too ... waiting until the last minute each week/module leads to many problems, and added stress.

A1: Procrastination is a huge issue in the classroom. Teaching self-goals and self-management are keys to life success!

A1: In classrooms I have had experience in, it has always been a significant issue! Teaching time management seems tricky.

Model good time management, but avoid "nagging" the students. Let them take pride in their work!

Modeling is a helpful strategy. We've all (I think) had that teacher who was struggling with time management, too.

Hi Marie! I love this idea. I agree, better to model time management for them.

A2: Influence of peers around you and having a lot of thoughts on your mind! Also, possible difficulty of prioritising tasks.

Yes! Classrooms on campus and online can (and should) be safe places to try, fail, try again. :)

Avoidance may be overcome by more formative assessment? Yes.

Absolutely - I think the prioritization issue is a big part of it. Being overwhelmed can then amplify the problem.

And in later classes ... the "overwhelmed" seems to be in managing work, life, etc. -> priorities

A3 Ss may rank tasks, obligations, priorities. Fit priorities within work/study-eat-rest balanced lifestyle
#iolchat

Mar 29 @ 12:37 PM EDT
A3: Writing colourful, eye-catching lists can be a way to prioritise/stay on task, therefore reducing tendency to procrastinate.

Achieving this balance is a skill! Practice can make perfect, to some extent - fine tune, get better w/each class

A4) Automated reminders from an LMS or an email client.

A4: provide exciting lessons and constantly keep children motivated to learn, without overwhelming them with work.
